24.01.2022 We all have an unsuspected reserve of strength that emerges when life puts us to the test ~ Isabel Allende

22.01.2022 Well done Mama!

19.01.2022 Honest and powerful.

18.01.2022 Newborn and Fetal Skull At birth, the newborn's skull consists of five major bones (two frontal, two parietal, and one occipital) that are separated by co...nnective tissue junctions known as cranial sutures. The sutures function as seams, and they are highly necessary to facilitate the movement and molding of the cranium through the birth canal during labor. They also allow for rapid postnatal growth and development of the brain. However, the bones that shape the cranium begin unfused, leaving several gaps between the individual bones of the infant's skull. These gaps are composed of membranous connective tissue and are known as fontanelles.

18.01.2022 We would like to thank you for everything you taught us during the classes. We definitely used lots of the techniques and positions from the classes. Just letting you know that baby Noah Bastos Gray arrived at 11.17pm on 20/01/2021 Thanks heaps, Nay & Jarryd

18.01.2022 Very effective if back pain is at a level that you are considering an epidural. Incredible stinging for approx 30 seconds while administered ( like being stung by a swarm of wasps! ) .... but can provide potentially 2hrs total relief once stinging stops. Amazing. Definitely wouldnt do if just mild back pain.

17.01.2022 I have tears streaming down my face watching this.

16.01.2022 Nothing compares to when you hold the same baby you've felt moving inside your partner's body for months. They recognize your voice. They calm in your arms. The...y know you are their safe person, their anchor, their rock. It's the biggest responsibility and the greatest gift in our world. <3

15.01.2022 What should be in your hospital bag for giving birth? Pregnancy, birth and baby have produced a useful checklist to make sure you don’t forget anything essenti...al. Many hospitals will have their own checklists and rules around what is and what is not allowed, so it is still best to double check with them if possible.

15.01.2022 So important to open up conversation and negotiate some of these topics ahead of time! #maternalmentalhealth #parentalmentalhealth

14.01.2022 Today is International Fathers' Mental Health Day. Did you know that around one in ten dads experience a mental illness in their journey to becoming a dad? So ...it’s actually really common to have difficult feelings about everything related to becoming a dad. There is support available. Visit howisdadgoing.org.au for more information.

09.01.2022 Anger is a distress signal. Anger in the postpartum period is a red flag that is being overlooked and misunderstood. Studies have shown that moms st...ruggling with PPA/PPA are more likely to have symptoms of rage. This rage is often intense, hard to control and feels very uncharacteristic. Here is a short excerpt from Jill Bucher of @todaysparent ------- Anger is indeed a normal emotion that we can all have, but being prone to anger can indicate there’s something going on that needs to change. She [Christine Ou] adds that there is some evidence that shows that if a woman is both angry and depressed, the depression can last longer and be more intense. The things that moms are angry about postpartum aren’t earth-shattering. Some feel trapped or helpless as they shoulder so many new responsibilities caring for a new baby while their own needs are left unfulfilled. Others find the reality of motherhood and the supports they receive don’t live up to their expectations. And many feel guilty that they aren’t the picture of the idealized self-sacrificing mother that’s upheld in our society. What’s more surprising is that no one’s thought to look at anger as a red flag for postpartum mood disorders sooner. Ou has a theory as to why it has been overlooked: Culturally, we often aren’t comfortable with the emotion of anger because it can imply that you’re not in controlespecially for women. And women who’ve just had babies are expected to be particularly blissful. ----- If you are struggling with postpartum rage please visit @postpartumsupportinternational. They have several resources and a directory that can help you find a maternal mental health provider in your area. https://www.todaysparent.com//postpartum-anger-is-the-r/ See more

08.01.2022 Wow! Pretty rare these days. Big surprise for ALL involved.

07.01.2022 Incredible to think that for many years, men weren't allowed to attend the births of their babies. As a birth photographer, one of the best parts of my job is t...o see men not only observe but EMBRACE the birth process. To watch them fall in love with their partners in a whole new way. This dad didn't skip a beat during the entire process: -Holding his partner during each contraction -Jumping in the pool when it came time to give birth -Eagerly holding both baby AND placenta when mom needed help getting out -Snuggling their older children as mom did skin to skin -Helping clean out the birth tub while drinking coffee with the other hand (expert level birth partner skills!) Our world needs more of this, doesn't it? More men who reject the notions of toxic masculinity and embrace their partners and families with tenderness and nurturance. When I look at these photos, I see such happiness and beautiful human connection. Their three boys are so lucky to grow up in this home.

03.01.2022 As a Midwife for 25 years, I strongly believe that how we welcome our babies into the world matters. Imagine your baby’s first moments of life outside the womb being full of love not fear. How women experience and remember birth matters. We are more than just physical beings, we have emotions and needs. I believe that my Calmbirth classes teach you HOW to birth. With knowledge and tools comes confidence and trust. Partners and support people are vital in enabling you to ge...t on with the job of birthing, so they learn the skills that will help them help you. I have been teaching Calmbirth in Geelong for 14 years and offer small group workshops at The Birth House on Monday and Wednesday evenings and weekend workshops. Private courses are held at my dedicated education space on my property in the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula near Portarlington. Melbourne people often catch the ferry from Docklands and stay for a baby moon getaway. My classes are respectful and inclusive and I welcome diversity. Email: [email protected] See more
