Post. Share. Advocate.
1. On July 23, 2025, go to Twitter or Instagram and post a pregnancy photo — past or present, yours or someone you love — with #BumpDay. Include a reason why you’re sharing your bump. (Need some inspiration? Try this: “There are vast disparities in maternal health care based on where a mom lives, her ability to pay and the color of her skin. That’s unacceptable, and it’s why I’m participating in #BumpDay with @whattoexpectproject and @whattoexpect.”)
2. Tag three friends and ask them to share a bump.
3. Go to whattexpectproject.org to send an email to your elected officials urging them to support the Rural Obstetrics Readiness Act, which aims to end preventable maternal mortality, severe maternal morbidity, and maternal health disparities in the United States.

La segunda foto es de mis favoritas ever... Bueno, toda esta sesión la amé! Lo que no entiendo es por qué pusimos 3 🐥 en la piscina si en mi panza sólo había 1 😂🤷🏻♀️???⠀
⠀
Yo embarazada me sentía mega sexy (con mis 40 libras de más y todo 🙈)! Quién más por aquí se sintió igual cuando estuvo “barrigona”?⠀

When I was pregnant with Oliver, during the 1st Trimester I was a mess over the changes my body was going through.😩 It was the first time I felt like I lost control over what was happening to my body and I wasn’t prepared for the mind fuck it caused me TBH. FF to 17 weeks, I felt Oliver move for the first time and E V E R Y T H I N G changed for me.😌
.
For the first time I felt the life inside of me stir and it alllll became real. I lived for his movements during my pregnancy and it was then I truly fell in love with my body for the first time in my life. .
Pregnancy was what finally gave me what I needed to really appreciate my body and WHO I needed to understand what life was really all about. My hope is that everyone finds that in some way during their pregnancy journey. . . .
.
😌If you struggle with body image during your pregnancy or e v e r for that matter, you are not alone. It’s perfectly normal and ok. Just remind yourself that your body was made for this and it knows what it is doing. Hang on to the things you DO enjoy about pregnancy and revel in those instead.🙏🏼

🙋🏼♀️Who else struggled with body image during pregnancy? Did anything shift that for you? .

I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 32! 😂 I never thought a year ago I would be celebrating my 32nd birthday while growing a human, & better yet, almost ready to birth a human! 👶🏼💗😂 But I wouldn’t have it any other way! This journey over the past 9 months (even with the bumpy start) has been so amazing & will make it all worth it when we get to meet baby girl in just a couple of days! 😳🎀👶🏼
Time flies! Cheers to another year older!🥂

Can you see what’s new in the video? Okey I realized there is two..
Yup! Nipple stim is awesome! And it's evidenced based as a labor induction method! ☝️
A 2005 study that included six randomized control trials concluded that nipple stim does increase the likelihood of labor!
719 pregnant women after term were randomly directed to stimulate their nipples, or not.
The results revealed that 37.8% of the women who stimulated their nipples went into labor within the following 3 days, compared to just 6.4% of the women who did not! Pretty cool!
❗ Some facts❗
✅ This method for inducing labor should not be used before week 39 - and likely even more effective if you wait until after your due date
✅ Additionally, if you have a high-risk pregnancy, nipple stimulation might be dangerous. ALWAYS, ALWAYS talk to your provider before trying any induction techniques – but this one especially!
✅ Nipple stimulation releases oxytocin in the body, which is the main hormone that is responsible for causing you to go into labor!
Nipple stimulation can be done a few ways:
🥰 During sex, have your partner gently roll your nipples between their thumb and fore finger. Make sure to roll the areola and the nipple
✋ You can also use the palm of your hand to stimulate the nipple or use a breast pump on a low setting
Here’s how to do it:
✴️ Choose your tool (whether it’s your partner, your hands, or your breast pump)
✴️ Only stimulate one breast at a time
✴️ Limit constant stimulation to 5-minute intervals, and then wait 15 minutes in between
✴️ Do not use nipple stimulation during a contraction (pause for the contraction and then resume between contractions)
✴️ Stop doing nipple stimulation once your contractions are five minutes apart, and increasing in strength
⭐ Side note, nipple stimulation can be used to augment (speed up) a slow or stalled labor too! However, this is NOT recommended if you are receiving any induction medication like Cervidil, Cytotec, or Pitocin!
