The idea of "planning" your birth is something that many expecting parents find comforting. After all, pregnancy is full of unknowns, and having a birth plan offers a sense of control over an event that’s both monumental and unpredictable. But the reality of birth is that, despite our best efforts, things don’t always go according to plan. While some parents stick with the traditional approach- hospital birth, pain management, and a typical post-birth recovery- others take a

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey that brings many physical changes, and one of the most noticeable can be the shift in your hair’s texture, thickness, and overall appearance.

When you’re pregnant, eating a balanced, nutrient-rich diet becomes more important than ever. While the classics like leafy greens, whole grains, and lean proteins are essential, there are some lesser-known, often unusual superfoods that are packed with nutrients perfect for supporting both your health and the health of your growing baby. These unexpected foods might surprise you, but they can be a game-changer when it comes to boosting your pregnancy nutrition. Here’s a look

Pregnancy is a transformative journey in more ways than one. While the excitement of bringing new life into the world fills many women with joy, there’s also a more personal, often more complex, side to this experience- the way it changes how you see, feel, and relate to your own body. As your body grows and adapts to accommodate a new life, it’s natural to go through a whirlwind of emotions, from awe and pride to confusion and frustration. These shifts in your body can some

Pregnancy is a time of incredible transformation- physically, emotionally, and mentally. As your body changes to accommodate the growing life inside you, it’s natural to experience a rollercoaster of emotions. While you may focus on the physical aspects of pregnancy, like morning sickness or body aches, it’s equally important to nurture your mental health. Prenatal yoga, often recommended by health professionals, is a holistic practice that not only helps with physical discom

When many women find out they’re expecting, one of the first questions they ask is, “Could it be twins?” Whether or not you're currently pregnant with multiples, it’s fascinating to think about the factors that can influence the likelihood of having twins in the future.

If you’ve ever been pregnant- or know someone who has- you’ve probably heard the term “pregnancy brain.” It’s that funny, and sometimes frustrating, phenomenon where forgetfulness, mental fog, and a general sense of being "off" seem to take over. Suddenly, your memory isn’t what it used to be, and simple tasks that once felt second nature become unexpectedly difficult. But what exactly is pregnancy brain, and why does it happen? In this blog, we’ll dive into what it’s like to

Pregnancy is an exciting time, but it’s also a time of profound changes in a woman’s body. While most expectant mothers are aware of the usual symptoms- morning sickness, fatigue, and cravings- there’s one less-talked-about shift happening behind the scenes: changes in the gut microbiome. Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms that play crucial roles in digestion, immunity, and even mood regulation. So, what happens to your gut mic

While some myths have a kernel of truth, others are purely imaginative. Let’s take a look at some of the craz

Getting started is always the hardest part. There are so many things to consider... When I started Hey, Baby! Mobile 4D Ultrasound, I had to figure out so many things along the way. It was a huge challenge. I built my website, promoted myself with online advertising, found which ultrasound machine to buy, and who to buy it from. I figured out payment companies, booking sites, and so so so much more. I really felt like I was very overwhelmed. Luckily, once I had it all set up,

Pregnancy is a time filled with anticipation, excitement, and a whirlwind of emotions. As your baby develops inside your womb, you might wonder about the future. Will they be athletic? Will they have a love for art? Or- one of the more intriguing questions- could they be a genius? As parents-to-be, it’s natural to wonder what influences might shape your baby’s future, and many wonder how pregnancy could play a role in their child’s intelligence. From genetics to prenatal envi

Pregnancy is a time of great physical and emotional changes, and while most people are familiar with the common symptoms like morning sickness or swollen feet, there are some less-talked-about experiences that come with carrying a baby- such as heightened senses. For many expectant mothers, pregnancy brings an unexpected and often intense change in the way they perceive smells, sounds, and even tastes. These sensory shifts can be both fascinating and overwhelming, as they can

Welcoming a new baby into the family is a joyous occasion, and it’s a moment that not only transforms the lives of parents but also has a profound impact on older siblings.

When I started my ultrasound company, I looked around online at a lot of different machines. Knowing which one to buy was a hard decision. Luckily, another sonographer friend was already using the Chison Sonobook 9, and she loved it! The images that she was getting were amazing! I had to have one.  Buying this ultrasound machine was a tough experience, simply because the medical supply company that I bought it from was not helpful. Luckily, I am able to make it much easier fo

Choosing a baby name can be one of the most exciting- and sometimes stressful- decisions for expecting parents. From classic names passed down through generations to the more unique and modern monikers, parents today have endless options. But in the world of baby names, there’s a special category that’s always been a source of fascination: unusual and downright quirky names.
