24.01.2022 NO, is a complete sentence. I DO NOT CONSENT is appropriate at any time. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Be watchful for implied consent. Eg we are just going to ....

23.01.2022 They tell you about the contractions, but do they tell you about the expansion? Do they tell you how your body would open to make way for the whole universe to... pass through? Do they tell you how your heart would explode with a love bigger than anything you’ve ever known as you pull your baby to your chest? They tell you about the ring of fire but do they tell you about the crown of stars? Do they mention that there’s a moment when your baby enters the world and you leave your body and touch the heavens and become the light of a million galaxies? They say that you would scream but do they tell you about that ancient roar deep down inside of you? Do they tell you about the power that would rise up from your belly as you call your baby forth with your mighty voice? Do they tell you how you would embody the wise and ancient woman within you that knows exactly how to give birth in that moment? They told you that your body will hurt, but do they tell you how that hurt doesn’t scare you? How you would feel grateful for what your body is capable of, how you would honour its flow and design? Many stories teach us to fear birth, to fear our power, to fear our body and to fear ourselves. But I’m stronger and wiser than that. I know that birth is a divine dance, the song of our souls and ancestors, a pure moment with God & Nature and it’s divine Creation, and so I chose to walk fearlessly into the arms of the known unknown of giving birth to a divine child.

22.01.2022 It's important to know that until recent times generally a wait and see approach was taken when amniotic waters ruptured after 37 weeks gestation. The wait and see approach, when no adverse symptoms are presenting, means a natural spontaneous labour will kick in to play therefore avoiding the cascade of intervention. It's always your choice as to which type of management you pursue and you may always respond 'I do not consent to ....' Your body, your baby, your choice. Be inf...ormed and base your decisions on the plethora of evidence-based information that is available to us as we journey our births. Use the B.R.A.I.N.S acronym .... Asking - B - what are the benefits R - what are the risks A - what are the alternatives I - intuition : what is your intuition saying. N - nothing/necessary : Is it necessary? What if I do nothing? What if we wait 10/15/30 minutes? 1/5/7 days S - space : give me space to discern and decide See more

22.01.2022 Nuchal Cord Nuchal cord is usually referred to a situation in which the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby’s neck in the womb. What does this truly me...an? The umbilical cord supplies all the nutrients, oxygen and vital support for the baby to grow well via the placenta. It’s usually long so that there is enough room and it doesn’t get tangled with the baby. One beautiful thing about the cord is that it’s covered in a jelly like slippery substance called Wharton’s Jelly. This prevents it from knotting too tight at any point and cutting the oxygen flow to the baby. Imagine a thick rope which you’ve dipped in a lot of grease or jelly. If you try to knot it, the knot won’t stay put and come undone. Wharton’s Jelly is a natural lubricant that prevents the umbilical cord from doing just that. In the first trimester, the baby is too small to even think about a nuchal cord. In the second trimester, baby is big enough that movements are noticeable to the mother. Any mother can vouch that the baby is moving all over the place and somersaulting and doesn’t stay put. Obviously, this may lead to baby wrapping the cord around itself many times and even detangling out of it many times as well. Not a cause of concern. In the third trimester, baby is growing bigger, gaining more fat, has lesser room to move about. It may so happen that sometime, the baby got tangled in the cord and couldn’t untangle itself. Or you’ve had a scan while the baby is tangled and baby may very well get untangled later. This is when some of the freaking out may begin. The doctor may tell you that the baby has a nuchal cord. There’s no reason to worry now but if it remains the same way, we may have to think of other options close to the due date. Some doctors may immediately say that your chances of a natural birth are risky and we schedule a C-section already. Also, the few rare doctors may brush it off saying it’s nothing and we don’t have to worry at all. Nuchal cord is a very common occurrence and happens in about 85% of pregnancies with most of those babies being born vaginally and completely healthy. A single or even double loop of cord around the baby can be immediately unwrapped during birth just after the baby’s head is pushed out. This means a vaginal birth is definitely possible even with a nuchal cord. Also, it’s not so easy to detect a nuchal cord by an ultrasound. Multiple scans from different angles are required to confirm it. And it may all be in vain as baby may detangle itself before or during birth. A nuchal cord is not a reason for an immediate C-section. A trial of labor must be given to the laboring mother as baby can be born normally without complications. If the cord is wrapped multiple times, or is too tight or wrapped nearer to the placenta which prevents baby from moving downwards, this can be witnessed and diagnosed during labor. The mother may have a very long labor or even after complete dilation, and upright positions the baby may not move down and out. Or there may be a sign of fetal distress which then requires an emergency C-section as there are risks of the oxygen supply to baby being cut off. If all else is fine and labor is progressing naturally, the mother will deliver with ease and the cord wrap can be undone immediately. Studies have shown that having a nuchal cord has good outcomes for both mother and baby in most cases. It’s in very rare cases that a dire situation arises. So, rest assured, a nuchal cord visible in a scan is no reason to panic or immediately schedule a C-section. There are various other factors involved too. Do your research, take a second opinion and make an informed decision. While you’re doing all that, the baby may just untangle itself and be having a laugh inside your womb! #nuchalcord #pregnancy #labor #birth #naturalbirth #csection #complications #makeinformedchoices #ownit #yourbody #yourbirth #yourchoice #amani #amanibirth #childbirtheducation #amanibirthindia

20.01.2022 Julia's training is brilliant supporting the post partum period. Recommend watching this free webinar if you are pregnant, or post partum or know or supporting someone who is.

16.01.2022 There is so much not taught about the intricacies of the body of a woman. Highly recommend vaginal steaming. As well as yoni mapping by a trained practitioner.

14.01.2022 Birth is an empowering rite of passage. And you deserve to embrace it with the greatest joy and exquisiteness and euphoria.

13.01.2022 New babies are so sensitive to the cold. Here are the five warms to prepare you for a beautiful baby massage. I learned these from my great teacher Ysha Oakes. ...Warm Room Prepare a room without drafts by heating with an oil heater or similar. A little warmer than room temperature is lovely. If you're not sure how warm take your own clothes off too! Warm Bath Start running the bath before you begin. A bathroom is a great place to give baby massage, and running the bath will have the bonus of steaming up the room. Warm Oil If your massage oil is in a small plastic bottle put the whole bottle of oil in bowl of hot water for a few minutes. Otherwise, pour enough oil for one massage into a tiny bowl, then put that bowl inside a slightly larger bowl of hot water. Test it on your skin. Warm Hands Rub them together with warm oil and make sure your fingernails are trimmed. Warm Heart Don't worry about doing it 'right' just enjoy. #MothersMatter https://buff.ly/2FhOfDX

11.01.2022 #WBW2020. Truly connect with your baby while breastfeeding. There is nothing like this bond. Aside from watching for feeding cues, you will get to know every so...und and movement and what they mean. You will become the expert on your baby very quickly. The love will pour out of you like you have never experienced before. See more

10.01.2022 Have you heard or are you aware of elimination communication? From birth babies express subtle cues indicating when they need to pee and poop. EC as it is known is practiced widely around the globe in many cultures. The use of nappies and disposables has created a negative impact where our babies learn to switch off from their genital area because of the unpleasant sensations of wearing a walking toilet. Babies actually do not like to sit in their own pee and poop. Initial...ly EC takes time and commitment. The payoff being a child who is generally free of nappies by the time they're one. Daytime nappies at least that is. So the long-term benefit is cost-saving and much less time and effort all round and a lighter load on our planet, especially if a family has been using disposables. https://sarahbuckley.com/mothering-mindfulness-and-a-babys/ See more

09.01.2022 Nurturing, nourishing and caring for Mum. Supports building her strength to recover whilst nourishing and caring for her newborn. The family unit needs support. When desiring to visit the new baby please remember Mum is in a highly sensitive and vulnerable place. Keep visits short and call beforehand.

07.01.2022 Women and birthing people are being impacted daily through the way health care providers work with them. You have the right to be heard and supported in the way you desire and need. Protocols are not law. You have the right to NOT CONSENT to anything during your pregnancy and birth. Be aware and be informed of all of your options rather than what are presented to you and the way they are presented to you through your health care provider who is following their facility protocols. https://www.facebook.com/events/241554850477350

05.01.2022 Human Milk and its benefits continues to amaze and inform me.

05.01.2022 15 Cool Facts About Breastfeeding 1. Human milk boosts a baby’s immune system big timehelping baby fight viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections, including...: Respiratory tract infections Ear infections Bacterial meningitis Pneumonia Urinary tract infections Infant diarrhea Common colds and flus 2. Breastfeeding can actually reduce baby’s risk of disease later in life, including: Type I and II diabetes Hodgkin’s disease Leukemia Obesity High blood pressure High cholesterol levels Crohn’s disease Ulcerative colitis Asthma Eczema 3. Breastfeeding reduces mama’s risk of ovarian and breast cancer, heart disease, and osteoporosis. The longer she breastfeeds, the higher the benefit. In fact, a woman who breastfeeds for 8 years has nearly a 0% risk of breast cancer. Get thisbreastfeeding a baby girl actually reduces her lifetime risk of breast cancer by 25%. 4. Breastfeeding saves a family approximately $2 to 4 thousand dollars annually (compared to cost of formula). 5. Breastfeeding helps mama heal faster in the postpartum, helping her uterus return to pre-pregnancy size faster and lowering overall postpartum blood loss. 6. Breastfeeding can help mama return to her pre-baby weight. It takes 1000 calories a day on average to produce breast milk. Women are advised to consume an extra 500 calories a day, and the body dips into reserves it built up in pregnancy to make the rest (it’s important to consume those extra calories or the body actually goes into starvation mode and holds onto the reserves). 7. Producing breast milk consumes 25% of the body’s energy; the brain only uses 20% by comparison. 8. On average, babies remove 67% of the milk mama has availablethey eat until fullness, not until the breast is emptied. 9. Almost 75% of all moms produce more milk in their right breast, whether they are right- or left- handed. 10. Mama’s body is constantly making the perfect milk for baby. Milk changes its nutritional profile as baby grows (milk made for a 3 month old is different than for a 9 month old). Milk can even change day to dayfor example, water content may increase during times of hot weather and baby-sickness to provide extra hydration. 11. Human milk contains substances that promote sleep and calmness in babies (who doesn’t love that?) Breastfeeding also calms mama and helps her bond to baby. 12. Breastfed infants are at lower risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) 13. Mama’s breasts can detect even a one degree fluctuation in baby’s body temperature and adjust accordingly to heat up or cool down baby as needed. This is one reason skin-to-skin contact in the early days is so crucial. 14. Breastfeeding reduces baby’s risk of cavities later on and may lower the chance they will need braces as kids. 15. Breastfeeding mamas sleep on average 45 minutes more a night, compared to those who formula feed. http://healthfoundationsbirthcenter.com//15-cool-facts-ab/ Photo- Woman nursing two babies, Alaska.

04.01.2022 I shared this on my personal page in 2017 ...... "Peace is your natural state. It is who you are at the deepest level. Go there, connect with that, and inform your life from this infinite expansiveness." The Sacred Rite of Passage of Pregnancy and Birth leads us into joyous and dark doorways. All are an experience that do not need to impact your inner realm of love and peace. So as you journey this Sacred Rite of Passage, tune in, drop in, become aware of what is arising for... you and go there. So much is simmering just below the surface waiting for love, acceptance and to be let go. With each surge through labour the same applies. Ride the wave, and drop into the crest or the trough, rest a moment as you wait for the next surge. All the time peace is within at the deepest level. <3 https://m.facebook.com//a.101500914522/10151936517177625/

03.01.2022 There are continued stories of how the current measures are negatively impacting birthing women and people, and their families, babies and birthing outcomes. Take time to share your experiences please.

03.01.2022 Breastfeeding is, for most people, an incredible nurturing connection between mother and child. "Unfortunately, many parents end up having to deal with criticism about their choice to breastfeed at one point or another. Criticism from strangers happens occasionally, but tends to be easier to deal with since you’re unlikely to see those people again. Criticism from family members and others close to you can be much harder to handle. Sometimes the people close to you particul...arly your parents feel that when you make parenting choices that are different from their own, it is a personal attack on their own parenting choices. They may truly feel that accepting your parenting choices is the same thing as admitting that their own parenting choices were wrong. It may be helpful to make it clear that your choices are not a judgment on their parenting, but a result of having different information available that you are using to make choices for your own unique child and family. . Always keep in mind that family members and close friends who make negative comments about breastfeeding generally do so because they care for you and your child, even if their comments are uninformed or inappropriate." https://kellymom.com/ages/older-infant/criticism/

03.01.2022 The last weeks if pregnancy are a test of our patience, preparing us for child raising. Go gently. Enjoy this time of inbetween.
