The modern workplace is evolving, but pregnancy still presents unique professional challenges for working women. When an employee shares news of her pregnancy, she enters a critical period where proper support determines whether she thrives or struggles professionally. With labor force participation of mothers with young children dropping from 69.7% to 66.9% between January and June 2025, businesses face real consequences when pregnancy support falls short.

Pregnancy transforms your body in countless ways, but one crucial change often goes unnoticed until problems arise: the impact on your pelvic floor. These hidden muscles support your uterus, bladder, and bowels—and they’re about to take on their biggest challenge yet.

Are you preparing for childbirth but feeling like something’s missing in your preparation? While standard birthing classes typically focus on the mechanics of labor and delivery, truly comprehensive birth preparation encompasses so much more. A holistic approach considers your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing—setting you up not just for birth day, but for the transformative journey into motherhood.

Are you counting sheep instead of counting kicks? You’re not alone. The irony of pregnancy isn’t lost on most expectant mothers—just when your body needs rest the most, sleep becomes frustratingly elusive.

Preparing for pregnancy is like studying for the most important exam of your life—except there’s no definitive textbook, the syllabus keeps changing, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. With so much conflicting advice available online, finding reliable guidance can feel overwhelming.

In an era where we manage everything from banking to fitness through our smartphones, it’s no surprise that pregnancy and postpartum care have gone digital too. With maternal care deserts growing and over 40% of U.S. births covered by Medicare and Medicaid, digital solutions are filling critical gaps. But can an app truly replace the reassuring touch of a midwife or the communal support of a mothers’ group?

Ever glanced at postpartum health recommendations and thought, “Who has time for this?” You’re not alone. The latest postpartum guidelines have sparked both praise and criticism, leaving many new mothers wondering if these standards are realistic or simply another item on an impossible to-do list.

When Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce’s wife Kylie recently confessed, “My body doesn’t feel like my body,” she captured what countless new mothers experience in the postpartum period. After giving birth to her third child, Kylie has been refreshingly candid about wearing maternity jeans weeks after delivery and the physical toll of recovery—giving voice to a reality that often gets glossed over in our highlight-reel culture.

Traditional baby showers often leave expectant parents with piles of duplicate gifts but little practical preparation for bringing baby home. What if your pre-baby celebration actually prepared you for parenthood instead of just adding clutter?

What if the most beautiful pregnancy moments aren’t the ones that go viral—but the ones that help you feel grounded, connected, and safe?
