25.01.2022 When baby’s head is tipped towards one shoulder, it has a harder time passing through the narrow part of the pelvis. Labor becomes longer, and sometimes baby do...esn’t fit out the pelvis. Thankfully, we have techniques for this problem! https://spinningbabies.com//other-fetal-posit/asynclitism/ See more

19.01.2022 I have five kids, three of whom I birthed from my own body, so I thought I pretty much knew how childbirth happens. OMG WAS I EVER WRONG. This is the coolest de...mo I've ever seen explaining how labor worksI just wish I'd seen it *before* my babies were born!

14.01.2022 I am so so so in love with this beautiful homebirth. Dannielle was at my birth in February and photographed, filmed, and encouraged me through the hard parts. ... I'm very honored I was invited into her very intimate birth space to welcome their first girl after three boys. Watch in HD and grab the tissues! <3 Thank you for all the kind words, reactions and shares! I am TOTALLY blown away by the positive response y'all rock. Please keep it kind in respect to the Mama's birth choices. *(at 1:34 that's my baby who Dannielle was present for, so it's even cooler she got to attend Eloise's birth!)*

11.01.2022 There is nothing in the world like a bond between a baby and its mother
08.01.2022 Check out the remarkable bond between the mother and her baby.
08.01.2022 Such an incredible holiday gift for new moms!
08.01.2022 When the doctor told her that one of her twins didn't make it, she asked to hold him. What happened next is unbelievable.
04.01.2022 It has been said that of all the African tribes still alive today, the Himba tribe is one of the few that counts the birth date of the children not from the day... they are born nor conceived but the day the mother decides to have the child. It has been said that when a Himba woman decides to have a child, she goes off and sits under a tree, by herself, and she listens until she can hear the song of the child who wants to come. And after she's heard the song of this child, she comes back to the man who will be the child's father, and teaches him the song. When they make love to physically conceive the child, they sing the song of the child as a way of inviting the child. When she becomes pregnant, the mother teaches that child's song to the midwives and the old women of the village, so that when the child is born, the old women and the people gather around him/her and sing the child's song to welcome him/her. As the child grows up, the other villagers are taught the child's song. If the child falls, or gets hurt, someone picks him/her up and sings to him/her his/her song. Or maybe when the child does something wonderful, or goes through the rites of puberty, then as a way of honoring this person, the people of the village sing his or her song. In the Himba tribe there is one other occasion when the "child song" is sang to the Himba tribesperson. If a Himba tribesman or tribeswoman commits a crime or something that is against the Himba social norms, the villagers call him or her into the center of the village and the community forms a circle around him/her. Then they sing his/her birth song to him/her. The Himba views correction not as a punishment, but as love and remembrance of identity. For when you recognise your own song, you have no desire or need to do anything that would hurt another. In marriage, the songs are sung, together. And finally, when the Himba tribesman/tribeswoman is lying in his/her bed, ready to die, all the villagers that know his or her song come and sing - for the last time that person's song. (Footnote: since posting this, I have been contacted by a small number of people outraged because they see this post as racist and inaccurate and the invention of someone of white culture trying to perpetuate a myth that is somehow insulting. I have thought carefully about this. I choose to see this as an unfortunate response to a piece that is intended to share a vision of a way of seeing the sacredness of a person's own "song", of whatever race, that has sadly been largely lost in modern mechanistic culture. I am also guided by the way that this post has spoken at a deep soul level to so many, who also share that vision, and are awakening to the possibilities of a different way. I honour those awakening souls and this shared vision. I have therefore decided not to remove this post, but to allow it to speak to the heart song in each one of us. However, I invite you to choose for yourself whether you receive this as a beautiful spiritual fable, or as strictly factual. Your heart will lead you in the way you wish, just as my own heart saw beauty here and wished to share. If the post offends you, either because you see it as racist or inaccurate, or somehow disrespectful, please do not trample in and spoil the post stream for everyone else. Please simply choose to leave. Please respect the Oneness which is the absolute intention of this page, and which we celebrate daily, and do not bring your division or negativity here. I invite you also to question your own heart and examine why my sharing this beautiful story, factual or mythical, upsets you so much, and to examine your own motives. I reserve the right to block or delete anyone who cannot respect the actual intention behind the post, or who cannot respect the rights of followers of this page to feel the high vibration of it and to be blessed by it. These are, quite clearly, the vast majority. You will also notice that this vast majority see no racism or white man's myth here, but rather a beautiful vision of how we might see each other, and hear each other's song, if only we could get out of our own way. Love and sparkles, and in Oneness, Janny )
01.01.2022 The lack of a village has effected women is so many more ways then we know. Especially when we have children. Parenting babies has become one of the most isol...ating things we will ever embark on. Our village has been replaced with four walls and an IPhone. And I for one am lonely. I moved to the country nearly a year ago and partly because I am so busy with all of these kids, partly because I haven't put in enough effort but I still haven't found my village. Women are isolated now days because we are expected to be self sufficient, we don't need to go down to Penny's house to swap milk for tomatoes, we have child care so we don't need to ask Alice to watch our kids while we go to the doctors, the street doesn't even know each other let alone cook together. In fact asking for help has become so far from the community norm that we now sound like we "aren't coping" if we reach out. And guess what the silent cost of our lack of village is? Our relationships. Because all the things we should be getting from our village, we expect from our relationship. Our cups are empty and we need them filled, only society has structured us to only rely on one person. Our partners. We are expected to be bead winners, best friends, house keepers, on each other's side in arguments with the in laws, an ear, a shoulder, work hard- but spend quality time with each other, no take the kids out I need time alone, go to the shops, cook for me and for fuck sakes be sexually adventurous. If we could open our doors to the community, have company and help each other all day, our cup would be 80% full before we even reunited at the end of the day with our partners. Women are social creatures, we need each other like we need food. Children need relationships with adults who aren't their parents. And relationships need a bit of fucking pressure taken off them. It's true what they say, it really does take a village. I'm starting today
