25.01.2022 !00% having a known midwife in labour. 88% had a VBAC! What's not to love about these stats? <3

25.01.2022 Could you imagine!

24.01.2022 *any birth. Asshole midwives can ruin even an 'easy' birth. I had one, which is how I know how important it is to keep going to the conveyer belt baby factory, to make a positive difference in woman's lives, one shift at a time.

24.01.2022 Eco friendly nappy-free babies.

23.01.2022 Anxiety around leaving your baby is not a medical condition, it's natural, normal and necessary. It's called ATTACHMENT- Vitally important for making well rounded humans. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2R9UzBhPS5/

23.01.2022 Induction of labour NOT RECOMMENDED *just* because a baby is suspected to be macrocosmic ('extra large', usually 3800g+).

21.01.2022 The legal minimum age to turn children forward facing, or move into a booster is not the same as safest/best practice. Legal is not always 'safe'.

19.01.2022 We are doing women enormous harm by taking away their bodily autonomy when their baby is breech. In theory, state and federal laws support the principle of informed consent and informed refusal, and nearly every hospital has a patients bill of rights that ensures consent before medical procedures. Yet we throw these legal and ethical rights away when a baby turns bottom-first. We can do better. We owe it to the women we care for. Women should not be forced to leave the hospital in order to exercise their right to informed consent. Every woman with a breech baby deserves access to skilled providers in her own community who can support her, whether she chooses a planned cesarean section or a vaginal breech birth.

17.01.2022 Mmm hmmm. "Me wan(t) muuum doo it"

17.01.2022 A woman's birth decisions and experiences are nobody's business but her own. Every woman has the right to make the decisions that are right for her and her baby..., no matter whether that's to do with where she gives birth, who she has with her or what she wants going on around that. We need to work harder to ensure that ALL women's decisions are respected and that no woman is hassled, shamed, coerced or bullied about her pregnancy and birth decisions. Before OR afterwards. #midwife #midwifery #doula #childbirth #childbirtheducation #childbirtheducator #positivebirth #hypnobirthing #pregnancyyoga #royalbaby #meghanmarkle www.sarawickham.com/books/whatsrightforme

17.01.2022 Beware the misogyny & patriarchy. Beware the book burning and hanging those who stand for womens rights, out to dry.

14.01.2022 To all my pregnant and nursing friends: this is the bombest nursing position! Especially when you’re TIRED. Edit: I did not expect this to get shared so many times. If anyone can find he original creator, please let me know so I can give them credit and link their page. Thank you!

14.01.2022 I always suggest a 40-weeks date night. You'll either plan for a lovely time, or get a surprise bonus in the form of your new baby(ies) before hand :D For best results, also plan a date night for 41 + 42 weeks :P <3 Corryn.

14.01.2022 I am 2. I am not terribleI am frustrated. I am nervous, stressed out, overwhelmed, and confused. I need a hug. From the diary of a 2-year-old: Today I woke u...p and wanted to get dressed by myself but was told No, we dont have time, let me do it. This made me sad. I wanted to feed myself for breakfast but was told, No, youre too messy, let me do it for you. This made me feel frustrated. I wanted to walk to the car and get in on my own but was told, No, we need to get going, we dont have time. Let me do it. This made me cry. I wanted to get out of the car on my own but was told No, we dont have time, let me do it. This made me want to run away. Later I wanted to play with blocks but was told no, not like that, like this I decided I didnt want to play with blocks anymore. I wanted to play with a doll that someone else had, so I took it. I was told No, dont do that! You have to share. Im not sure what I did, but it made me sad. So I cried. I wanted a hug but was told No, youre fine, go play. Im being told its time to pick up. I know this because someone keeps saying, Go pick up your toys. I am not sure what to do, I am waiting for someone to show me. What are you doing? Why are you just standing there? Pick up your toys, now! I was not allowed to dress myself or move my own body to get to where I needed to go, but now I am being asked to pick things up. Im not sure what to do. Is someone supposed to show me how to do this? Where do I start? Where do these things go? I am hearing a lot of words but I do not understand what is being asked of me. I am scared and do not move. I lay down on the floor and cry. When it was time to eat I wanted to get my own food but was told no, youre too little. Let me do it. This made me feel small. I tried to eat the food in front of me but I did not put it there and someone keeps saying Here, try this, eat this and putting things in my face. I didnt want to eat anymore. This made me want to throw things and cry. I cant get down from the table because no one will let mebecause Im too small and I cant. They keep saying I have to take a bite. This makes me cry more. Im hungry and frustrated and sad. Im tired and I need someone to hold me. I do not feel safe or in control. This makes me scared. I cry even more. I am 2. No one will let me dress myself, no one will let me move my own body where it needs to go, no one will let me attend to my own needs. However, I am expected to know how to share, listen, or wait a minute. I am expected to know what to say and how to act or handle my emotions. I am expected to sit still or know that if I throw something it might break.But, I do NOT know these things. I am not allowed to practice my skills of walking, pushing, pulling, zipping, buttoning, pouring, serving, climbing, running, throwing or doing things that I know I can do. Things that interest me and make me curious, these are the things I am NOT allowed to do. I am 2. I am not terribleI am frustrated. I am nervous, stressed out, overwhelmed, and confused. I need a hug. *edited to add: I have finally identified the author! Thank you, Dejah Roman for your POWERFUL words*

14.01.2022 When you place the baby in a capsule on another flat surface outside of the car, it's no longer positioned at a safety tested angle, posing a fatal risk to the baby; positional asphyxiation.

12.01.2022 95% chance your baby will NOT be born on the day you reach 40 weeks. It's 40 weeks, NOT a due date! <3 Healthy babies come when they are ready.

10.01.2022 "Plot twist" How the 'labour and delivery' staff were surprised is weird to me. I always suspect transition as an option when an epidural is requested. And moving can be the key from 'stuck'/stalled, to baby arriving earth side!

10.01.2022 As we all struggle to adapt to our changing circumstances during the Covid-19 pandemic, we are looking for ways to empower and support women virtually through "...The Business of..." platforms. The new hospital restrictions banning partners and doulas during labor broke our hearts. For women birthing in hospitals, the idea of not having any labor support is frightening and unprecedented. Equally unimaginable is the fact that nurses and care givers lack adequate personal protection equipment, putting their own health at risk. In order to support expecting parents during this pandemic, we are streaming "The Business of Being Born" and the "More Business of Being Born" series FOR FREE from our website: www.thebusinessof.life

10.01.2022 Funny about that!

09.01.2022 "The studies in this area are limited by the expectant management group being managed by modern obstetricians, whose inclination for intervention may be higher than is optimal..."

06.01.2022 May his legacy live on. <3

06.01.2022 "...age two is truly a bare minimum. According to the previously noted study, at age three there is still only a 50% probability that the C3 vertebra has finished ossification. The older a child gets, the more time their spinal column has to strengthen and the reality is the longer, the better" https://csftl.org/why-rear-facing-the-science-junkies-gui/

05.01.2022 Louder for those at the back!

05.01.2022 MIDwives are with woman, MEDwives are with institution, policy, ctg machine, and unilateral thinking BEFORE they are WITH woman.

05.01.2022 "...ultrasound has never been properly tested on developing human beings although there are studies showing damage to animals." For some women, the false reassurance that nothing is picked up on a scan, meaning a 'healthy baby' is not 'worth it'. I've seen severe joint deformities missed on ultrasound! They are not perfect. ... Likewise, a false positive can cause severe stress. Even a correct positive may not be positive for the woman- some may like to prepare if there baby requires something, and others would prefer to only worry WHEN something is amiss. There is also the fact that many babies are able to have timely access to adequate medical care in the event they do require surgery or critical/intensive care immediately after birth. By all means, I'm not saying don't get one at all, but to be aware of all the potential risks of doing so, or not undertaking this medical intervention. Informed decision making is key. Neither choice is without risk. Some women have more factors that indicate it may be useful, others do not. Some may decide the potential for harm from a routine morphology scan is outweighed by the potential benefits. Some may be forced to get one or be kicked out of MGP programs (and publicly funded home birth). And some women may opt not to, and later decide to go ahead if there are concerning factors coming up during their pregnancy. Whatever the choice, it should be informed, and made by the woman in partnership with a care provider who understands a woman right to be involved in the decision making process, not by force, coercion, because the new doctors office wants a new 13 week baseline (was a load of lies and BS!).

05.01.2022 Meanwhile, the 'conveyer belt baby factories' (most hospitals!!) keep lowering the threshold to cut womens vaginas, usually with no consent, and almost certainly without informed consent! Please be aware if your intended birthing hospital is one that uses 'The bundle' or has a high 'episiotomy' rate. https://www.usatoday.com//episiotomy-vs-teari/3668035002/

04.01.2022 & the controlling language remains today. Assumed consent for procedures, from administering antibiotics, to upping the synthetic oxytocin & much much more. :( Practice these words "I do not consent" - just in case you need to use them .You'll want to feel confident saying them if you need, or want to. https://www.facebook.com/timelinenews/videos/2039691029387684/UzpfSTM2Mjc3OTM5MDQ4OTA5NToyNzU2OTk1MDA3NzM0MTc2/

01.01.2022 Amazing! How much wisdom has been lost, through mass production of substandard 'alternatives' that make a minority rich, at the expense of the many?! (Too much!!)

01.01.2022 Being mobile in labor is what we were meant to do. Its better for baby. Its better for momma. Its associated with shorter labors and easier births, less int...erventions, less risks for baby, and better outcomes for both. We werent moved to the bed to benefit women and babies. This wasnt some modern science breakthrough that we should have gratitude for. We were originally moved to beds so that men could have a better view of what birth looked like.... then later when obstetricians started taking over birth. They liked it, because it allowed them to make surgical cuts (episiotomies) with ease. That is why we now see it as the norm.... not because women are tired and prefer relaxing (not that that cant happen). #ActiveParticipation #StayMobile #GravityHelps #StayOffYourBack #OhioBirthKeeper #Doula #StudentMidwife Emily Schultz #WeAreSoProvidedFor #GoodThingsAreComing #IAmSoGrateful #LoveIsMySuperPower #ThisIsResistance #IntuitiveBirth #EthicsMatter #EveryBirthMatters #ChangeBirthChangeEarth #StudioSpiritYSol @StudioSpiritYSol This Beautiful Art is by: https://www.etsy.com/shop/StudioSpiritYSol Go check her out!!

01.01.2022 Lest we forgot the mothers whose babies are taken for the benefit and profits of another species. Choose to keep mothers and babies together.
