25.01.2022 "The placenta cells may potentially quiet down that response, bringing down dangerous inflammation, the doctors said. The mechanism is not completely understood, but the cells may work similarly to how they protect a pregnancy from the mother’s own immune system, the doctors said"

23.01.2022 #COVID19 #COVID19 #coronavirus RANZCOG has updated its advice and information for pregnant women and their families. Read the latest here (as of March 16, 2020): https://ranzcog.edu.au/statements-guidel/covid-19-statement RANZCOG is closely monitoring the situation.

23.01.2022 In most countries of the world, parents will be asked whether they want their baby to have vitamin K, usually within the first hour of birth. It’s your decisi...on whether or not your baby has vitamin K. It’s also up to you to decide which kind of vitamin K (oral or injection) you want your baby to have. So you’ll want to weigh up the pros and cons, as with every decision you’ll make for your child. I have been researching vitamin K for more than twenty years, and I have written several books and information leaflets on this subject. I’ve just posted the most recent on my website. I have written this blog post to give a summary of some of the key facts that you might want to consider when making your decision. https://www.sarawickham.com/ar/information-about-vitamin-k/ #midwife #midwifery #doula #birthdoula #childbirtheducation #childbirtheducator #childbirth #positivebirth #evidence #drsarawickham #youdoyou #womanempowerment #whatsrightforme #consent #womensrights #vitamink #parents See more

23.01.2022 I love when I get to hear from birthing women who have used my "Colour Me" Positive Birth Affirmations. This customer from Ohio, USA had her kids get involved in the colouring, how special! So special in fact that here's what she said....... "My homebirth was 7wks ago and it was amazing!!! I still have my affirmations on the wall....I just don't want to take them down I loved my birth space so much Check out www.etsy.com/shop/projectbirth for all my birth prepara...tion products. x See more

22.01.2022 "When the 95-year-old Sakamoto assisted in delivering her last baby on Oct. 20 after 70 years, she quietly but emotionally described it as nice and peaceful.

22.01.2022 Big thanks to my gorgeous clients for letting me share some of their labour images. And a big shout out to the midwife at Sunshine Hospital who took this beautiful photo.

21.01.2022 Even if you test positive for Coronavirus there are ways to keep you and baby together and safe after birth. "Australian doctors who delivered a coronavirus carrier's baby say they have achieved what could be a world first by keeping an infected mother together with her newborn"

19.01.2022 8 years ago! Where does the time go? As I do every year I ran through my son's birth story this morning as we cuddled in bed. As usual his favourite part is being born in water. Today he said "You can call Aquaman".

18.01.2022 Wow! What a mama!

18.01.2022 Hmm...many of us have put on a few Covid Kilos I'm sure! Will they turn out to be surprise babies too?

14.01.2022 I am feeling very grateful for this beautiful gift I received from a client who did my Positive Birth Course a few months ago. This pin shows a sketch of the chemical composition of the hormone Oxytocin which is essential to birth, bonding and breastfeeding. What I also love is that it is made by a company https://www.facebook.com/Milkandmoonuk/ who sell gifts that are all about women supporting women. I will wear this with honour and pride.

Let's get rid of some of the myths out there, which are making women even more anxious than before. It's just 40 mins. If you miss it, it will be recorded. Stef will post it on her page. Hope to talk to as many as can make it. Don't forget your coffee and bikkies!!! See more

14.01.2022 Whilst the birthing woman benefits greatly from some inspiration so do their partners! Can't wait to share my tips tonight on day 2 of The Positive Birth Course.

13.01.2022 "Before being introduced to your new life as a mother, you have just gone through one of the most painful, exhausting, and mind blowing experiences in your life. Labour. Has everyone forgotten how tolling that can be on both your emotional and physical well being? The last thing you then want, is for everyone to be bombarding your room to play pass the parcel, before you have even had a chance to recover" https://www.facebook.com/106948317327862/posts/156162642406429/

13.01.2022 "No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite." Nelson Mandela

13.01.2022 Our babies are cute for a reason! https://www.facebook.com/284489278675856/posts/955578724900238/

13.01.2022 I am so fortunate to be able to teach The Positive Birth Course here @preggicentral in Frankston. Such a lovely space surrounded by all things maternity!

13.01.2022 So happy for this gorgeous couple who worked so hard to prepare themselves and optimise their chances of reaching their birth goals with their second baby! "Hi Yvette. Just wanted to say a massive thank you for the positive birth session! On Monday 28/10 I gave birth naturally to our little girl Ivy Grace! I had to be induced as the placenta was starting to wear out, my waters were broken at 12.30pm, and the gel to bring on contractions was put in about 2pm and they really kicked off hard and fast about 2.30pm. We were so well prepared because of the session we did with you, and David was an amazing support, we used so many of the techniques and tools learnt to get through, and I am so over the moon I was still able to achieve a natural birth after induction!"

05.01.2022 If men were the ones having the babies! I wasn't sure if I should share this because once I'd seen it I'm like OMG I can never un-see that!!! But I still couldn't stop laughing so here it is.

03.01.2022 The moment I became a mum

03.01.2022 What I have been banging on about for years! Labour pain is purposeful, functional and normal! It is not from an injury or illness, it is simply the uterine muscle working hard to bring your baby to you, the cervix opening, pelvic joints moving, ligaments and tissue stretching and pressure from your baby on other organs. Women who having a positive connection to pain in labour often cope much better with contractions and feel a greater sense of empowerment and satisfaction.... Many experts believe pain in labour is also a signalling mechanism and an essential ingredient to get the right balance of hormones and for the right mechanical processes to take place. The pain of each contraction becomes a guide for the labouring woman. The positions and activities she chooses in response to what she is feeling actually help labour progress by increasing the strength and efficiency of contractions and encourage baby to move through the pelvis. Often when pain is removed entirely, say with an epidural the feedback system is disrupted and labour slows or stalls. Get your head around this and you will be saying 'bring it on' to those contractions! https://www.facebook.com/iwakeupwithtoday/videos/390465784980606/

02.01.2022 Get some tissues before watching this. The strong emotions of the first baby right to the pure joy of the last, sooooo precious https://www.facebook.com/news.now.go/videos/1240104056149225/

01.01.2022 What an incredible image by @laceybarrattphotography. Often in a undisturbed, natural birth with the right balance of labour hormones a woman experiences the Fetal Ejection Reflex. "Extremely high levels of adrenaline during late labour can trigger the fetal ejection reflex.... This surge triggers strong, rapid contractions which move the baby from the uterus and into the birth canal. The pressure of the baby in the vagina stimulates the Ferguson reflex, which is the uncontrollable expulsion of the baby, which happens when nerves in the pelvis are stimulated as the baby descends through the birth canal. This biofeedback sends messages to the brain to release more oxytocin, resulting in two or three strong contractions. The baby is born quickly and easily without voluntary pushing from the mother. - See more at: https://www.bellybelly.com.au//fetal-ejection-reflex-what/

01.01.2022 Having a baby is stressful enough without also having to process misinformation. Here are the facts from the WHO, experts and the research evidence for pregnant and birthing women.

01.01.2022 Inspired by the doco @birthtimeworld a fabulous group of pregnancy, birth and post-partum professionals got together today to brainstorm, share ideas, pool our passion and work together to see what changes we can make as a collective to birthing on the Mornington Peninsula. #birthonthepen
