nutrition, pregnancy, Health
Pregnancy isn’t a time for restriction—it’s a time for deep nourishment.

Prepare Your Mind for a Peaceful Birth Experience
When it comes to birth, what’s happening in your mind matters just as much—if not more—than what’s happening in your body. While birth is a physical event, the mental and emotional preparation you do in pregnancy can shape everything—from how you cope with labor to how you reflect on the experience months later. At Glimmer Birth, we believe that how birth feels to you matters deeply, and that begins with mindset. In fact, many birth experts agree: birth is 90% mindset.
Born to Birth: God’s Design for the Female Body

He didn’t forget to equip you for the most profound transition of your life.
He knit you together, not just to grow life—but to bring it into the world with power, beauty, and divine grace.
You were literally born to birth.
Ditch the Timeline: Reclaiming Trust in Your Body’s Birth Rhythm
There’s a quiet pressure that creeps into pregnancy conversations. You hear it in passing, you feel it in appointments, you sense it in the well-meaning “you haven’t had that baby yet?” questions.
It’s the pressure of the timeline.
Due dates. Cervical checks. Charts and graphs. Numbers that somehow begin to dictate how ready your body is, how safe your birth is, and how normal your experience should be.
Let’s call it what it is: a culturally imposed clock.
And it’s time to ditch it.
