25.01.2022 Too good not to share!

22.01.2022 Another good one.

22.01.2022 I've got my reasons... what's yours?

20.01.2022 Because we need to laugh...

18.01.2022 A stunning photo with beautiful words! "And she wore a simple hair tie around her wrist so that she could pull her hair back as she labored...and then her baby came into the world with his cord also around his wrist. An incredible moment I couldn't have planned better even if I tried (which is one of the one thousand things I love about birth)."

18.01.2022 This might touch a nerve ANY routine intervention that is accepted by 100% of people it is being offered to is NOT being discussed appropriately. I am absol...utely 100% sure of this, and if you as a HCP never come across anyone saying ‘no thank you’ to GTTs, GBS screening, fetal monitoring, vaginal examinations, prophylactic antibiotics, suturing, thromboprophylaxis etc etc, the interventions are not being discussed in a nuanced way and without coercion. I know that some might feel defensive about this, but it’s the truth. See more

14.01.2022 That is the cutest! My kids would absolutely get into that!

14.01.2022 I have to be honest with you here. I found it hard to create this image and I'm finding it hard to post it. It's a mantra that every mum should feel free to use to keep her calm and relaxed during labour. But the truth is, if you are a mama of colour you know very well that birth is not as safe for you as it is for white women. And it has nothing to do with the physiology of birth, with you or your baby. It's got fucking everything to do with systemic racism and care provide...rs not paying attention to the calls for help from black families the way they pay attention to the words of white families. It has to stop. #ENOUGH

12.01.2022 I’m not anti intervention. It’s a common misconception about people fully advocating for pregnant and birthing people. But I have never met anyone who hates i...ntervention indiscriminately. Heck, I LOVE intervention. Truly. Appropriate intervention is a wonderful thing. It saves lives and sanity. And I will be the first person to suggest it should I feel it appropriate and support it if the pregnant person feels they want it. HOWEVER. What I don’t love is intervention that is not applied appropriately. That goes completely against the wishes of the pregnant person. For which consent has been coerced. Intervention that is applied as a blanket policy. That does not actually benefit the individual all things considered (there are many things to consider, EVEN if the research shows this intervention leads to better outcomes on a population level). Intervention that leaves people feeling like they had no choice. Intervention that ultimately cascades into more and more intervention, when on balance, leaving well alone would likely have been more appropriate. Intervention that happens after scaring people absolutely silly. I DO love intervention that happens after nuanced discussion and true informed consent. Intervention that makes the person birthing the baby more powerful. Intervention that enhances the persons experience. Lifesaving/damage averting intervention in emergencies (with consent obv). I guess the tricky bit is walking the line between appropriate and inappropriate intervention. It’s not an easy line to walk sometimes, especially when there is no TIME or *relationship* to discuss things in nuanced manner so decisions can be made without coercion and pressure. But we ALWAYS need to listen, hear, enable and support. Not tell, scare, pressure and coerce.

12.01.2022 Oh my gosh, the LOVE!

11.01.2022 Woohoo! Thank you so so much Rhea Dempsey Birthing Wisdom, you wonderful woman! My book has arrived and I was drawn in from the first word. So so grateful to have you as one of my major influences in this birth world. If you are a birth worker or a pregnant person, or if you know anyone in those categories, get that book for yourself and them!! This is stuff you WILL NOT learn in your hospital birthing class.

10.01.2022 Something we should be taught from a very small age... This is your body and it's going to do amazing things. It already does amazing things. It keeps you alive. It takes you places. It lets you interact with others. It lets you feel, love, cry, sing, dance, run, hug, kiss. Your body is enough. YOU are enough. <3

09.01.2022 Check out the video at the end of the media. This is a lovely post and an incredible little video of a cord with a knot in it!

09.01.2022 Uff... That hit a sore spot. This is true for me in my personal life. But I can also see how women stay in their "comfort zone" during pregnancy and birth, taking shit instead of speaking out. Which doesn't make the comfort zone all that comfortable anymore... Can you relate to this?

08.01.2022 You may think that this post has nothing to do with birth. I disagree. The way in which we portray women in stories /books /movies shapes the views of our kids. They need to see women who stand up and speak up for themselves. Women who ask questions. Women who make their own decisions. Women who can say "no".

08.01.2022 Could this be you?

04.01.2022 The world is a better place because you're in it!

02.01.2022 Be a difficult woman.

02.01.2022 Which one of these sentences have you heard from friends and family? Which other ones have you had thrown at you? Tell me in the comments! "HAHAHA, sweetie, you can't give birth without an epidural! Just wait and see!" "Homebirth? Are you crazy? Well if the baby dies it's your fault."... "Ugh!? You want to breastfeed? Well, at least keep some formular at hand. You'll need it soon enough." "Cloth nappies? Do they still exist? So much work when you could just do what everyone else does. But I guess you've always been the odd one out." Always good to know that you're a badass and you can do this!

02.01.2022 If we want women to stand up for their rights in the birth suite we need to support them in standing up and speaking up from a very young age. The entire system needs an overhaul.
