25.01.2022 24 hours before delivering....

25.01.2022 Pregnancy, birth, babies. All the curated instagram images make it look so sexy and romantic. And then there are the things no one prepared us for - the blood s...weat and tears - literally! The shift into postpartum leads to the most significant hormone changes we experience in our lives, all in a matter of 72 hours, and with that, some ‘weird’ symptoms can manifest. Below are some of the normal things nobody tells us about. Hopefully knowing will prevent you from thinking you’re totally dying or in the least, that something’s really wrong: Shaking: Immediately after birthing, intense shaking and chills are common due to shifts in adrenaline as your body ‘comes down’ from the birth experience. Baby blues: Different from postpartum depression, the baby blues are a common and normal period of weepiness, anxiety, and irritability in the first 5 days after birth, and can last hours or days. It’s due to massive hormone shifts - especially a plummet in estrogen and progesterone - that occurs after birth, and is aggravated by fatigue and low blood sugar. If you feel down for longer than this period of time, or find that the sadness is interfering with your ability to care for yourself and/or your baby, please talk to your practitioner. Night sweats: many new mamas are alarmed to find themselves drenched in sweat the first couple nights postpartum - don’t be! Your body releases fluid volume naturally accumulated in pregnancy (and from IV fluids in labor). Sleep on a towel, have a change of jammies nearby, and an extra blanket layer on your bed if you feel chilled from sweating. Fear of going to the bathroom: Fear of peeing and pooping post vaginal birth, especially with a tear/repair or after cesarean, are common. If your yoni is tender, use a squeeze bottle with tepid water as you pee; for pooping, eat fiber, take deep breaths, and take it slow, knowing it’s safe to let go - and go. Mood swings: Hormone fluctuations can lead to wild mood shifts from intense moments of elation and gratitude to rage or sadness. This intensity will pass, though mom-feelings are still intense. Learn to ride the waves and have tools for inner calm. See more

17.01.2022 Real pictures from the water birth of my daughter, Juniper. I had always wanted to do a waterbirth but wasn’t qualified given my lack of continuity of care being overseas for the two prior. This time, I called it a bit close... literally arriving 35 minutes before the birth at Calvary Public Hospital (who did an amazing job supporting my wishes). My beautiful husband helped me into the tub moments after I announced I feel the urge to push. All up I think it may have been... two pushes. In revisionist history I think I exclaimed princess of power as Juniper floated into the world. I had to get out to deliver the placenta. Which was good as it was questionable if some placenta had been retained and I needed to keep an eye on that. I relaxed in bed enjoying holding my gorgeous girl smiling with my midwife and husband. Lots of skin to skin... Home 17 hours after arriving. Welcomed by my son and daughter. We are now a tribe, complete.

16.01.2022 PREGNANT MUMS: I launched Mamaste in Jakarta, Indonesia and have been working with women and a hospital Colombo, Sri Lanka to bring women support and guidance for mindful and empowered pregnancies and births. I have been offering birthing workshops, one-to-one consultations, and prenatal/birthing yoga privately and in groups. I am happy to work by DONATION ONLY.... I am on Zoom, Facebook, Whatsapp and available to provide women contactless support OR I can do one-to-one if we are both willing to take proper precautions in our current COVID-19 world. Please share this widely with any women you know who might be experiencing apprehension about being pregnant and birthing in these new circumstances. AND follow here to: - connect with mamas (I can make a group if there is interest) -see what yoga opportunities are available (I have never done a home video as I am so passionate about working person to person but I am keen to try!) - learn family hygiene practices - cope with isolation - adapt your expectations of your care providers and of your dreamed of pregnancy and birthing scenarios - ask questions (if I don't have the answers, I have a midwife I consult with regularly who supports me supporting you) -birth choices and rights - and more.

11.01.2022 A baby born after the loss of a baby, is referred to as a Rainbow baby. A twin born who could not stay is referred to as a Sunset baby where the surviving twin ...is referred to as a Sunrise baby. This month we remember all babies born sleeping, the ones we've carried but never met, those we've held but couldn't take home, the ones that came home but didn't stay. Make this your status if you or someone you know has suffered the loss of a baby. The majority won't do it, because miscarriage, still birth, Infant loss and SIDs is still a taboo subject. BREAK THE SILENCE. In loving memory of all the angels who never set foot on earth. See more

10.01.2022 https://www.nytimes.com///coronavirus-premature-birth.html If lockdowns prevented early births in certain places but not others, that information could help reveal causes of premature birth. The researchers speculated about potential factors. One could be rest. By staying home, some pregnant women may have experienced less stress from work and commuting, gotten more sleep and received more support from their families, the researchers said.... Women staying at home also could have avoided infections in general, not just the new coronavirus. Some viruses, such as influenza, can raise the odds of premature birth. Air pollution, which has been linked to some early births, has also dropped during lockdowns as cars stayed off the roads. Dr. Jamieson said the observations were surprising because she would have expected to see more preterm births during the stress of the pandemic, not less.

10.01.2022 Great insight from Sara Wickham: The notion of risk is used to ‘sell’ a lot of things and ideas, and it seems to be a very modern phenomenon. When it comes to pregnancy and childbirth, I think it’s useful to remember that we can choose to step away from the risk-focused, fear-based, technocratic approach and instead surround ourselves with reminders that our bodies are amazing.... If we leave well alone, intervention is only needed now and again and there is a ton of evidence to support taking a gentler, more respectful, more holistic approach.

07.01.2022 I am again reminded of the privilege I have to have air purifiers throughout my home when living in polluted urban centers. The inequity for mothers and babies who can’t access clean air breaks my heart. Maternal health and baby health means we need a healthy Mother Earth. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releas/2019//191030073326.htm

05.01.2022 White Privilege in Motherhood Looks Like, by Happy as a Mother (give her a follow!) Being 3x more likely to survive childbirth Being offered pain medication No...t worrying for the safety of your child Having welcoming or inclusive mom groups Not having to carry the history of violence and being a wet nurse Not being asked if you're the nanny Not worrying your child will get racially profiled No one asking who the father is People not judging your financial status Having culturally sensitive prenatal, labour and breastfeeding support Not having to teach your children the protocol for dealing with the police. Thank you to all the mamas in my stories who contributed to this graphic.
