19.01.2022 In honour of #whiteribbonweek enjoy this tribute to Helen Reddy at the Arias last night. Intimate partner violence increases in frequency and lethality during pregnancy. If you are experiencing violence in your relationship, you can talk to your OMGP midwife ANY time or call 1800 RESPECT. You are strong. You are invincible. You are woman.

19.01.2022 BABIES POSITION AT THE END OF PREGNANCY Your midwife may have spoken to you about trying some different exercises if your baby is in the posterior position (ie babies back facing your back) to help spin bub around to ideal fetal position for vaginal birth.... Such exercises can be found (along with some other really cool info) at https://www.spinningbabies.com/ below is a link to a post with a good explanation of the anterior position - the ideal positioning of baby prior to and during labour. What position is your baby in? https://www.instagram.com/p/CH02QxwnaCh/?igshid=5wx00976cnyg

09.01.2022 Some great information on growth spurts.

08.01.2022 BABY LED ATTACHMENT Have you ever seen a breast crawl? https://www.instagram.com/p/B41Om1iAZXr/... Talk to your midwife about this special way of allowing nature to help you to bond with your baby and helping them navigate their own way to attach to the breast. Here are some great resources and demonstrations of breast crawling & baby led attachment

08.01.2022 If you've never seen a placenta, this beautiful image shows the size of it perfectly. After birth, the placenta detaches from the uterus leaving a wound the siz...e of a plate. Now imagine you had a wound that large on the outside of your body. You would be told by everyone to rest, look after yourself and take time to heal. So why is it expected that new mothers should 'bounce back' so quickly after childbirth? When this is just one thing that needs healing; not to mention all the other physical, emotional and psychological changes we need to adjust to.. If you're a new mom reading this, it's ok to stay in bed with your baby. It's ok to ask others for help. It's ok to prioritise yourself and your baby. Get your family involved, ask your friends for some help, get a postnatal doula. Don't rush your post-birth recovery, be easy on yourself. No better time to do so than just after you've given birth.

08.01.2022 Some information taken from @AustralianBirthStories instagram today discussing 'The Purple Line'. Did you hear your midwife discussing our mentioning this to you during labour?

07.01.2022 Happy Mother’s Day to all Mothers.

06.01.2022 Are you familiar with why we wait for the white when clamping or cutting your baby’s umbilical cord? It’s known as delayed cord clamping. If you take a look a...t the first couple photos you’ll see what your baby’s cord may look like at birth. At that time there’s still about a 1/3 of your baby’s blood pumping through the cord and placenta. The latter photos show what the cord looks like after waiting a while. Physiologic cord camping allows for optimal transfusion of this blood which is necessary for your baby’s health. DCC results in a boost of your baby’s blood supply & higher iron levels, which is vital for healthy brain development and increased oxygenation for your baby. Midwives have always practiced delayed clamping and cutting while many providers clamp as soon as the baby is placed on moms chest. Policy’s are being updated as hospitals become more mom & baby friendly & providers are catching up on the evidence. Don’t hesitate to state your desires to delay clamping the cord if you birth in a space where this isn’t the norm. The time delayed varies by many providers, but a rule of thumb would be to wait until the cord is no longer pulsating. If you view many out of hospital birth photos & see the baby still attached to the placenta, this is why. Did you delay clamping and cutting your baby’s cord? Why or why not? #delayedcordclamping #waitforthewhite #homebirth #mymidwifetia #naturalbirth #midwife #childbirtheducation #birthprep #pregnancy : tagged in original post on Instagram. breedowners_doula_photography

02.01.2022 2 0 2 0 Wow what a tough year it's been! For many families, including our OMGP family, 2020 has brought new life. These little people have brought much joy to their families and to us. We are deeply grateful to have been a small part of your life during this hard year. Thank you for your kindness and patience whilst we navigated the challenges and continue to do so. We know that a change in date doesn't erase the hard bits from the past year. What the new year does represent is hope. Hope for more peace, kindness and faith in each other. So cheers to 2021. May we all have hope. And lots of it.

02.01.2022 B I R T H P L A N S: At OMGP we often encourage women to make a birthplan. Never as a strict set of rules for birth but as a way to become informed about your options. This is a great insta post from Better Birth UK about the importance and value of birthplans
