24.01.2022 Kissing your baby changes your breast milk. Did you know that the undeniable urge to cover your baby in kisses serves a biological purpose? When a mother kisse...s her baby, she samples the pathogens on babys face, which then travel to moms lymphatic system. Moms body then creates antibodies to fight those pathogens, which baby receives through breast milk. What?! Amazing, right? http://www.mothering.com//10-things-might-not-know-breast/ : Dusktildawnphotography #doula #breastmilk #newbaby #postpartum

24.01.2022 A sad, but beautiful story from a truly courageous woman

23.01.2022 Just for giggles!

22.01.2022 When a baby suckles at its mothers breast, a vacuum is created. Within that vacuum, the infants saliva is sucked back into the mothers nipple, where recepto...rs in her mammary gland read its signals. This "baby spit backwash," as she delightfully describes it, contains information about the babys immune status. Everything scientists know about physiology indicates that baby spit backwash is one of the ways that breast milk adjusts its immunological composition. If the mammary gland receptors detect the presence of pathogens, they compel the mothers body to produce antibodies to fight it, and those antibodies travel through breast milk back into the babys body, where they target the infection. . credit: The Natural Parent Magazine See more

22.01.2022 Isnt this a rare gift?!?! This amazing organ is your uterus. It is shown here, connected to your ovaries. ... Most women are born with this profound spellbinding organ, yet most of us, have never ever seen one : asides from illustration & ultrasound. It is typically about about 7 cm long and 5 cm wide. The uterus works hard, and for a long part of our lives, it is almost always busy performing miracles and healing the womb with its monthly detoxification & equilibrium process. The organ expands more than 100 times its size to house our children, aka the fetus. Each month self-destructing, shedding and re-building its lining, and through this, it eliminates our blood, aka menstruation as it works through a contraction process Moon ( Menstrual ) pain, is therefore pain of the uterus, not ovaries. It can support up to 150 times its own weight. It is the only organ capable of creating another organ > Placenta. It is connected to you. If you get stressed, it gets stressed. If you relax, it relaxes. In that same organ, life is summoned literally. Life is also shared, because there are women who with that organ, gave life to up to 15 children. It is the second heart of a mother, because it is there, she forms the hearts of her children. The Physical body & DNA of her most loved life source. A hub for the soul to connect to this dimension & time space reality. Ladies : Meet Your Uterus Words by Billa Sheehan www.parenttv.com

21.01.2022 Ive tried to get behind this cause for the past couple of years with some friends. No woman, teenager or young girl should have to worry about not having sanitary items when they are needed. Most of us take these items for granted, I know I do, and I couldnt imagine not being able to buy what I want as needed. Imagine the humility these women face when they cant get these products, for a variety of reasons. Lets get behind our fellow sisters & support then by Sharing the Dignity in any way you can. #endperiodpoverty #sharethedignity

20.01.2022 Lately in the UK (or in the group of parents to be and parents that I know anyway), there has been a shift away from planning your birth experience. A lot of mu...ms-to-be especially have said to me that theres no point planning for what you cant control, or that if I dont make a plan, I cant be disappointed. I should mention a deeper interest here: I teach parents to be about birth for a living but Im also a parent and even before I had learnt more about care during labour, I still felt strongly that being engaged in the process would lead to a better outcome. I would urge any expectant parents to plan for their birth as carefully as possible. After all, many parents spend a lot of time choosing items for their babys nursery or their pushchair. I would argue that birth plans are just as good a use of that time. Keep reading DONT LEAVE YOUR BIRTH PLANS TO CHANCE here https://bit.ly/2D2iH02 Call The Doula . .

19.01.2022 I cant love this enough There is so much pressure on how women should look after having a baby. A womans body is incredible, it is strong and it is capable of so much. We need to appreciate what we go through, between our hormones forever changing & growing a baby...what a miracle!!! Stop giving each other grief and comparing each other, lets start encouraging each other and supporting other women, because; we are enough

18.01.2022 No-one is exempt from PND, we need to talk about it, and support those women who are suffering. Watch Kates story tonight, on Australian Story, at 8pm.

17.01.2022 Beginner swimming lessons Mamas, ever felt your kiddo moving and wonder what they were doing?!?!? This. This is what they do. Occasionally during C-section t...he sac is not broken and you can see an outside view of the sac and amniotic fluid intact. #coolestthingihaveeverseen

17.01.2022 You are valid, and your feelings are valid.

16.01.2022 The first few months after giving birth are the hardest and the most eye-opening. You are giving every ounce of yourself and recovering at the same time. Youll need time to adjust and thats perfectly normal.

15.01.2022 BRB just waiting for my pre baby body to bounce back - two years later (well actually 12 years) Oh and Ill also love my old set of jugs to return to say 16 yea...r old ones if thats okay. And whilst were at it Id love my teenage mental health to flick itself right in there too, the IDGAF mind would be absolutely trick right now. ITS NOT COMING BACK, NONE OF IT. I get so angry and fired up when I see people writing about bouncing back post baby. Youll never ever ever be the same body or mind after youve had a baby. Its gone. Just like your ability to stay up all night and feel fresh the next day. We set so many up for failure because they feel like they need to bounce back, they need to get back to their pre baby selves. Sheesh Id love my husband to bounce back post birth too, but he aint and no one is telling him he should. The reality is thatll hell never be the same either. We either bare the scars on the outside or feel the changes on the inside. Not one person has walked out or been wheeled out of birth the same as they went in. We except we can just go back to our past selves as we cradle our future. Embrace the what the heck you have, if you dont like it, fix it. With the right mindset you could love the person you are right now, and if someones telling you differently - do you really need that? It takes time to like you, but once you do youll see that you arent actually that bad. And in my case youll realise your sense of humour and stunning set of abs will get you the tribe of friends you deserve - including being my own friend!

15.01.2022 A little misty eye moment for you.... When you first have children they talk about the challenges of parenting....the struggles of a baby waking in the night, t...he toddler who wont stay in their bed, the cost of childcare, injuries from sports... Having to take off work to pick them up from school when they dont feel well, helping them with homework, a messy house, the never ending laundry, the cost to buy school clothes, packing their lunches.... You watch their eyes light up on Christmas morning....and try to soak in the magic of those moments. You coach them in sports, rushing to practices and ballgames...and tote them all over the country to let them play the game they love...no matter how exhausting or expensive it becomes. Life is just so busy that you rarely even stop to think what the end of those days look like. In fact, its not really even something you can wrap your mind around. You go into it thinking that 18-20 years sounds like a long time.... Then suddenly hours turn into days...days into months...and months into years. That little person that used to crawl up next to you in bed and cuddle up to watch cartoons...suddenly becomes this young adult who hugs you in the hallway as they come and go. And the chaos and laughter that used to echo throughout your home....gets filled with silence and solitude. Youve learned how to parent a child who needs you to care for and protect them....but have no clue how the whole letting go thing is supposed to work. So you hold on as tight as you can...wondering how time passed so quickly...feeling guilty that you missed something.... Because even though you had 20 years.....it just somehow doesnt seem like it was enough. You ask yourself so many questions... Did you teach them the right lessons? Did you read them enough books as a child? Spend enough time playing with them? How many school parties did you have to miss? Do they really know how much you love them? What could I have done better as a parent? .....When its time for them to go, it all hits you like a ton of bricks. And all you can do is pray....hope....and trust that God will protect them as they start to make their way into the world alone. Parenting is by far the most amazing experience of your life....that at times leaves you exhilarated....while others leave you heartbroken. But one thing is certain.....its never enough time... So for all the parents with young children...whos days are spent trying to figure out how to make it through the madness... Exhausted day in and day out... Soak. It. All. In. Because one day....all those crazy days full of cartoons, snuggles, sleep overs, Christmas morning magic, ballgames, practices and late night dinners... All come to an end. And youre left hoping that you did enough right, so that when they spread their wings.... Theyll fly... credit ; Misty Brewer Lee

14.01.2022 I love this This is how I feel when I am supporting someone as their Doula. It is an incredible feeling to support someone when they are at their most vulnerable beautiful state.

14.01.2022 Life changes in an instant, our children are our world. I would like to share this Go Fund Me in support of one of my sons good friends little brother. If you can share or help in anyway, this family would be grateful

14.01.2022 My wife is a best friend kind of woman. She has hour upon hours of long conversations with her friends ALL the time and occasionally I get to hear little pieces.... Recently she was talking to a friend and they were talking about this thing called "co-sleeping" and I heard the other person ask doesnt your husband hate that? My husband would never let me do that. This blew my mind and has bothered me for days. So I just decided to come out as a man and set a few things straight. I do NOT hate any part of what makes my wife the mother that she is. I would NEVER degrade or disregard anything that she feels like doing for my children. Do I have to squeeze into a small corner of the bed sometimes? Yeah? But my God how beautiful does she look holding my children? Making them feel loved and safe? The thing is that our wives only experience these little seasons in motherhood for a short time. They carry our babies they birth them they nurture them and maybe while they are little they let them crawl into our beds and snuggle but eventually our babies get bigger they grow up they get "too cool" for snuggles so why would we as men want to steal a single second of this time from them? Being mothers is part of their identity and whats a year or 3 out of decades of life spent together? I just want to say that I am proud of the decisions my wife makes as a mom and I support every single one of them. I would never want to rob her of this time she has or these seasons that are in reality too short to not enjoy. Please respect your wives as mothers. - David Brinkley

13.01.2022 Womens bodies are simply amazing!

11.01.2022 My favourite thing to do when a friend has a baby, is drop a meal and sometimes cookies over for them. If youve ever had a baby, youd know how grateful you are to receive a cooked meal, and have one less thing to do. Maybe, next time your friend or someone special has a baby, try to do something for them, I know theyd appreciate it.

09.01.2022 Stop shaming women for breastfeeding. Stop shaming them for feeding their child how they choose... Without a cover, with a cover, in their home, on a bench, wi...th a glass of wine, without a glass of wine, with a cup of coffee, without a cup of coffee (I have no idea how you survive but I will not judge), on Facebook, not on Facebook, from a pump, from a bottle, with a little formula, with a lot of formula, for 1 day, for 5 years, on a boat, in a moat... I dont give a flip. Dont tell a woman what to do with her body and how to do it. Stop it! Stop it! Stop! Its sickening and my girls deserve better than what I and some of my friends have experienced... my boys will be raised to never do this. Thats pretty much the bottom line. Im sick of it. Solutions to YOUR problem... 1) Instead of taking the time to write someone a message on Facebook... Unfriend them, block their post from your feed or keep on scrolling. 2) Instead of taking the time to walk over to a breastfeeding mom and tell her to cover in public, just keep walking. More time in your day! Better yet... If you are ever so brave. Smile at her like you would at ANY OTHER PERSON. 3) ^same goes for telling a mother to NOT cover. Let her choose her comfort. 4) Instead of telling a woman that is feeding her baby with a bottle that "XYZ is better for the baby", first remind yourself that unless you prepared that bottle, you have no clue whats in it. Then remind yourself again that its none of your dang business whats in that bottle. 5) educate yourself on the female body and its value and beauty. Educate your children and your spouses and your friends and your sisters and your brothers and your cousins and your grandparents and your aunts and your uncles about the female body and its power. NOT JUST ITS SEXUALIZATION. and last... Thats a beautiful male nipple below... Which is apparently totally acceptable.

08.01.2022 World Breastfeeding Week

08.01.2022 A SURPRISE TWIN WATERBIRTH A completely missed twin pregnancy. Ultrasound did not pick up the other fetus, they only ever heard just one heartbeat and... she measured right on track for carrying only 1 baby. She birthed her first baby in the water and shortly after felt another strong contraction and another ring of fire. As to which she yelled out What the fuck?! The midwife said Oh, its probably the placenta coming. Another midwife said Its a water bag, Ive never seen that before. The whole room was in utter shock to see another baby come earthside and born encaul. The likelihood of another baby hidding in the womb is extremely minuscule, but it happened. Born at 38 weeks and 4 days, both babies weighed 6lbs 11oz, and both measured 20 inches.

08.01.2022 Don’t cry, little baby....I got you. Hearing my daughter whisper these words over her baby remind me of the times that those very words were all I could muste...r to whisper over my children. Motherhood is indeed the dance of the perfectly imperfect and all the grace that comes alongside of that. Sometimes my motherhood looks like perfectly crafted meals for tiny hungry humans. But sometimes my motherhood looks like the undone me with messy hair, no bra, in nothing more than my panties cradling tiny people and whispering Don’t cry, little baby....I got you. And you know what....no matter what my portrait of motherhood looks like today....in this moment.....it is beautiful. And I am enough. I am certain that in all of my perfect imperfection, I am loved by a perfect Savior who sees me....messy hair, underwear and all....and says Don’t worry....I got you. #theperfectlyimperfect #gracelikeaflood

08.01.2022 No one can birth that baby for you! This is work that only YOU can do! Your loved ones, your partner & your family, your doula, your doctor, your midwife- we... can help, support, encourage, (even intervene if necessary), but you, YOU must birth your own baby. When choosing where you plan to do all that birthing, consider where youd feel SAFEST. Think about your choice of care provider, with whom do you feel safest? For some- a hospital feels safest, and thats ok. You dont have to justify your choices to others. For some- its their own home- and for some- a Birth Center. These are also valid choices for those with a low risk pregnancies. For some, its not so much a matter of feeling safe at all, but more like less terrified. That is also a legitimate experience. If you have no reference point for normal, physiologic birth- the prospect of squeezing a person out of your body can be really intimidating! Consider a provider who can offer you education as part of the care! Because- as our knowledge increases- our fear level tends to decrease- leaving us better able to make informed choices. Whatever you choose, bring support, ask questions, take notes, get informed, read, research, and take responsibility for your health See more

07.01.2022 What an amazing Mumma! A womans body is simply miraculous

07.01.2022 It really does seem like yesterday I found out I was pregnant with our first baby, and now in the blink of an eye, we have a 21, 18 and 16 year old!!! Time goes by so quickly, at the time it doesnt feel like it. At the time it feels like the sleepless nights wont end, but they do, at least for awhile, then you have teenagers and you lay awake stressing that they are safe. Our babies are only babies for a short time, enjoy every moment, try to embrace the milestones as they come, try to remember that youre doing a great job Mumma x

05.01.2022 I can’t love this enough There is so much pressure on how women should look after having a baby. A woman’s body is incredible, it is strong and it is capable of so much. We need to appreciate what we go through, between our hormones forever changing & growing a baby...what a miracle!!!

01.01.2022 I think Ive experienced all of these at some stage!
