24.01.2022 It happens to the best of us.

24.01.2022 The most accurate thing I’ve ever read

22.01.2022 Watch yourself, Brooklyn! (Via twitter || lucky_leftovers)

22.01.2022 Lets have a chat about "due dates" Scrolling my mommy groups this week, I came accross almost this same exact post probably 6 time... "Im 40 weeks today and n...o sign of labour!! Help! How can I bring on labour?! I don't want to go overdue!!" Ok. So as a Doula, I do my best not to reply to these posts in general other than to suggest lots of rest, a walk, and the usual nipple stimulation and sex, followed by "babies come when theyre ready" . Don't get me wrong, I TOTALLY feel that "So done with pregnancy" vibe! Its completely normal and completely valid! Also, sometimes an induction IS the best course of action for SO many reasons... . That being said, in the absence of any clear medical reason for induction, its good to know the REAL FACTS about due dates, to avoid all kinds of anxiety, dissapointment or even an unnecessary induction when your body would have done exactly what it needed to! . Did you know that the average gestational period for a first time birther is actually closer to 41+5 days!? Thats a whole 12 days "overdue" or past when most birthers expect to go into labour!! . Did you know that as long as all is well with birther and baby, that it is safe to continue a pregnancy to 42 weeks!? . Statistically, 50% of birthers spontaniously go into labour by 40 weeks and 5 days. The other 50% go after that! . Reality is, your Estimated Due Date is really more of a guess than it is a solid date to expect baby to arrive. . In fact its almost always more like "the date your baby will not arrive . Did your baby(s) arrive on their EDD? Share with me in the comments!! .

20.01.2022 So this past weekend I was having a hard time finding the words (probably because I haven't had any sleep) to express to Kris why I'm not in the best of moods first thing in the morning. So I sat down with my coffee and drew him a visual.

15.01.2022 Repost from @bumpbirthbeyond2020 WOMEN ARE MAGNIFICENT We are strong. We are capable. We are amazing!... Do not fear birth. Prepare for it! Birth is a normal physiological process and a primal, sacred rite of passage. INFORMATION IS POWER // This account has been set up on the same principle as sex education - I would rather you were uncomfortable and not ignorant. Every birth only happens ONE time. It is a once in a lifetime event. There is no do-over. You only get one chance. Would you attempt to climb Mt Everest without thorough research, a support crew and preparation?... You would certainly not show up on the day and hope for the best! Yes, birth is a normal physiological, instinctive process, however we have been conditioned in such a way that many women have absolutely no exposure to birth and little, to no, ability to tap into these primal instincts. Please spend your time, money and energy researching pregnancy/birth/postpartum/breastfeeding. Birth trauma is very real and postpartum depression/post traumatic stress is very serious. Birth has become taboo, demonised and surrounded by messages of fear. I am frustrated and concerned with the dangerously high intervention rates. I am grateful for the science and technology available, in the event of true medical need, but are women told about the risks and side effects of intervention? Do women know they can refuse consent? You have the right to say "no", the same way you can say no in the bedroom and the workplace. We have been failed by society, mass media and the current culture. All women deserve beautiful, empowered births. And to be nurtured postpartum. Surround yourself with beautiful, positive stories and messages of birth - they do exist and desperately need to rise to the surface to encourage, inspire and support women. As the wonderful Dr Michel Odent once said "One cannot help an involuntary process. The point is not to disturb it." I really do believe we need to see images of birth. They change our perceptions of what our culture has taught us, that stereotypical presentation of birth as an intensely painful experience that's full of drama, being endured rather than enjoyed

12.01.2022 And this is why women need a doula- so they can make all the important decision in the antenatal period and then advocate for them during labour. https://www.sbs.com.au//we-need-change-way-we-deal-informe

11.01.2022 This week is Women’s Health Week. I’ve chosen to shine a light on just one aspect of women’s health this week; Post Natal Depression and I’ve decided to tie it... in with the amazing service we provide at our Early Parenting Unit (formally known as mother baby unit). Postnatal depression is the name given to depression that develops between one month and up to one year after the birth of a baby. It affects about 1 in every 7 women who give birth in Australia each year. Many women experience the 'baby blues' in the first few days after having a baby. When these feelings last beyond these early days and continue to get worse, it may be a sign of developing depression. What are the signs of postnatal depression? * having a very low mood * feeling inadequate and a failure as a mother * having a sense of hopelessness about the future * feeling exhausted, empty, sad and teary * feeling guilty, ashamed or worthless * feeling anxious or panicky * having trouble sleeping, sleep for too long or have nightmares * worrying excessively about their baby * feeling scared of being alone or going out It is also common to experience symptoms of anxiety at the same time as depression. How is postnatal depression diagnosed? If you've had any of these symptoms for 2 weeks or more, talk to your doctor or midwife. You can also visit your local mental health service or community health service.
