24.01.2022 Postpartum Preparation Sessions are now available AUSTRALIA WIDE via video call. They're not parenting classes. We will have lots of discussion and opportunity for questions about what to expect physically, emotionally and practically in the first 6-12 weeks with a newborn. I'll give you a number of suggestions of topics you and your partner should discuss before baby is born, so you know how you'll deal with certain hurdles before you even get to them. Research shows that ...having an idea of what to expect in any situation can reduce anxiety and increase confidence, and that's exactly what these sessions aim to do. If you'd like to know more, please comment below or DM me.

24.01.2022 Happy Sunday! I've just sent out my July newsletter - Your birth Your baby July update - https://mailchi.mp//your-birth-your-baby-augustseptember-1

24.01.2022 In the last few weeks I've been speaking with Sarah from @vandababy about motherhood, journaling and the importance of leaving a legacy. I'd love to share a blog Sarah has written on why she started journaling. http://ow.ly/L50C50AIc4m

23.01.2022 Weve all seen those movies or TV shows (or heard a real-life experiences) where baby is born and is instantly whisked to the other side of the room for weighing, measuring before being swaddled and returned to the eager parents for their first real look at their baby. Im here to tell you that it doesnt need to be like that, and in face, thats not best practice. [ 404 more words ] http://yourbirthyourbaby.com.au//why-keeping-mum-and-baby/

22.01.2022 Know a man that's soon to be a Dad? Beers and Bubs is childbirth education for Dads - at the Pub! Well, usually. Due to Covid19 restrictions, these sessions have moved to the online format, but they're just as valuable for any man expecting a baby.

22.01.2022 The Five Ss Dr Harvey Karp suggests calming babies using a five step method called The Five Ss. This activates the babys calming reflex during the first three to four months of life by mimicking experiences in the uterus. Some babies need all 5 steps, others are calmed with one or two. The 5 steps are:... Swaddling - Swaddling recreates the snug packaging inside the womb and is the cornerstone of calming. It decreases startling and increases sleep. Side/Stomach hold - holding baby on their side, on their stomach or over your shoulder. Shushing - In the womb, the sound of the blood flow is a shush louder than a vacuum cleaner! Swinging - use fast, tiny motions to soothe a crying infant. Always support the head/neck, keep your motions small; and move no more than 1 inch back and forth. Sucking- Many fussy babies relax into a deep tranquility when they suck. Try them with your newborn in the postpartum. Thanks to @lamazeaustralia for this graphic and info.

21.01.2022 I always find asking for the actual number of a 'risk' helps me decide what I'm willing to accept and what I'm not. If you have ever considered a vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) or achieved one, did you know the actual numbers of chance of uterine rupture? If you had multiple caesarean sections, where you told that the chance of needing a hysterectomy increases with each subsequent surgery?... It is ENTIRELY up to the parents to decide what risk they're willing to accept and what they're not.

21.01.2022 This list shows some examples of fear-based language. Have you heard any of these in your own care? Tell me about it, and how it affected you.

20.01.2022 I was finally able to get professional business photos done! After 2 booked dates were cancelled due to changing COVID restrictions, last week it FINALLY happened, and I'm so, SO happy with the result. If you're a small business wondering if the cost of getting pro photos done is worth it, please trust me, it is!!! Thank you so much to the amazing @vppics, you're a star!! ...

20.01.2022 I've come to the conclusion that in parenting, something is only a 'problem' if *you* feel it is. For example, if you rock or pat or tickle your child to sleep every nap/night, and you're happy to do that routine, then ignore anyone who tells you 'it's a bad habit'. The day that the thing becomes an issue for *you* is the only day where you need to worry about changing that thing. Of course this extends to so many scenarios where other people have an opinion about how we pare...nt our children. So this is the thought that runs through my head whenever I come across criticism for my parenting decisions: 'Is this behaviour/routine/habit a problem for *me* right now? If the answer is no, then I politely change the subject and ignore the comment. If I realize that the answer is yes, then I go away and examine how to go about changing the situation. I'm happy to admit (for lack of a better word) that I rarely suffer from 'parent guilt', and I feel that this thought process is in part responsible for that. I hope it helps someone else too. What parenting idea or practice helped you move past some worry and/or parent guilt? Photo thanks to Derek Owens on Unsplash

20.01.2022 I've heard some providers giving the opinion that skin to skin after birth was nice to have, but didn't hold any real benefit. Well, there is SO MUCH evidence-based research that actually shows that immediate skin to skin post birth helps the baby adjust smoothly to terrestrial life, and has health benefits for mum too. And yes, it is possible in the operating room after a caesarean, but you'll need to discuss this with you providers before-hand to let them know it's your preference. If you'd like to be directed to some of the research, please comment below.

20.01.2022 Was your baby born with a little hair, or a lot? Both my girls had a full head of dark hair, & my second had plenty of lanugo too - not as much as the darling bub in this pic! Great info below from @badassmotherbirther and photo by @sarahfairlight... , . Lanugo is the first hair that your baby starts to form in the womb. It is very soft, fine, usually unpigmented & covers the bodies of almost all babies except for his palms, the soles of his feet, lips, genitals, nails & sides of fingers & toes. This hair usually starts to form on a fetus around 5 months gestation. This unpigmented hair generally falls off or is consumed by your baby between the 36th and 40th week of pregnancy. Babies born prematurely tend to have more lanugo present than those born full term, although many full term babies are born with lots of lanugo - no reason for concern. Any leftover Lanugo disappears on its own within a few days or weeks after birth. You do not need to do anything except wait for it to fall off on its own. It does not mean your baby will tend to have more body hair as an adult. ? it serves as a barrier to protect your babys skin from the constant submersion in amniotic fluid. when it starts to fall off in the womb, your baby swallows it & it is stored in his intestines to help form meconium, which is the first bowel movement your baby will have. it helps vernix adhere to your babys skin. Vernix is a waxy white substance which helps your baby stay nice & warm in utero plus MANY other benefits (please read my article on benefits of vernix at badassmotherbirther.com/vernix-caseosa @badassmotherbirther)

14.01.2022 Birth plan, birth preferences, written down or just in your head, call it what you will and do it how you like, but the education side of things is what it'a really about. Did you not have a birth plan/preference for you first birth but did for your second? Or vice versa? Comment below and tell me about it

14.01.2022 Your care giver may have recommendations about the course of action you could take at different points in your pregnancy and labour, but they should never try and bully or coerce you. If they do, they're not the care provider for you! I've got some examples of fear-based language your care providers may use in an upcoming post.

12.01.2022 Check on your mum friends. They may need an ear today (and any day). I was having a vent the other day to a friend on messenger. Miss P is learning to use the toilet (I hate the term 'toilet training') and on a day 2 weeks in, she was having an accident every 45 minutes. I'd had enough. I had a good old vent to this friend, and she just listened (well, read). She didn't offer advice, a different way of doing things, any 'have you tried...?' or 'it could be this...?' The fact ...that her bladder hold time had reduced from 2 hours to 45 minutes had already given me the hint she may have a UTI, and the appointment was already made at the time of this vent. I was following my 'mum gut', but I still needed an outlet for my frustration. And she provided it for me. Listening, and HEARING, as one of the most important things we can do for each other. We need to make sure we do more of it. Photo from @saracelinaa See more

11.01.2022 Sorry for disappearing for 8 weeks! Here’s a little explanation.

11.01.2022 THIS is entirely possible. In fact, it's the best care practice available. But it takes planning & discussion, for both planned & emergency c sections. It's why I encourage parents to have a Plan A birth preference doc, & a Plan B. You can discuss your wishes for a c section even if you're hoping to avoid one. Reposted from @thebirthplanco SKIN-TO-SKIN after cesarean: In 2016 a Cochrane study found the following facts about skin-to-skin after a csection (defined as at lea...st 10 min of skin on skin contact within an hour of birth). Those giving birth who did skin-to-skin were 50% more likely to exclusively breastfeed & had lower anxiety levels 3 days after birth. The babies who did skin-to-skin were 32% more likely to have a successful first feed, had higher blood sugar levels, better oxygen levels, & were more content. Some mothers who are especially exhausted after a long labor or those who were given sedative medication will need extra help caring for their infant, but skin-to-skin is still possible with assistance. In cases where skin-to-skin is not possible with the mother, skin-to-skin can happen with the birth partner instead. Another barrier to having immediate skin-to-skin after a cesarean is hospital culture. EG some doctors may hesitate because they want the newborns weight taken right away, but the record could be completed later or written that weight was pending due to skin-to-skin. Having a thorough discussion with your medical provider before your labour is often helpful. Talking with your anesthesiologist is also vital, since various monitors will need to be placed in different locations to accommodate your birth preferences.

11.01.2022 The Path of Least Anxiety. This is a phrase that made SO MUCH SENSE to me when I first heard it! As new parents were trying to do so much. Learn a new job, care for older children, recover from birth physically (and perhaps emotionally), run a household and potentially entertain visitors (who may be very helpful or as welcome as a hole in the head).

10.01.2022 So, youre a brand-new father. Or you will be very soon. Perhaps youve been through this stage in life before; you already have children and you have some insight into whats about to go down, and how your life is going to change (again). Or maybe this is your first time, and you have no idea but youre excited for the journey. [ 266 more words ] http://yourbirthyourbaby.com.au/20//18/to-the-new-fathers/

09.01.2022 I met with a client for the first time the other day who freely admitted she gave zero thought to what it would actually be like once baby was born. Hes now 8 weeks and shes struggling with lack of sleep, self confidence and the unpredictability of having a baby whos happy one day and grumpy the next (just like all of us!) Youve likely heard the phrase Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Well when youre planning your postpartum period, its not a schedule ty...pe plan and the performance is not measurable things like KPIs. Its planning where youll get support from outside the household, discussing with your partner how youll manage night feeds, deciding that youll have a tap out clause if one of you is up in the night with bub for more than 2 hours. Ive just finishing the content for my Postpartum Planning sessions. In these 90 minute Zoom sessions well go through a number if topics its worth thinking about and discussing with partners before baby arrives. I now have one Postpartum Planning Session to give away! Id love to offer a first-time family at 20+ weeks pregnant a personalised session in the next 10 days. If youre partnered, preferably both of you will be available for the session- we can discuss a mutually convenient time. Whats the catch? Id love you to follow both my Facebook and Instagram pages, and in return for the session Ill ask you a few questions to gather feedback. Id also appreciate you taking the time to write a Google and Facebook review about the session. Ill do a Facebook Live hat draw this evening (Tuesday 21st), and contact winners directly. If you have any questions or would like to have your name added to the hat, comment below. https://yourbirthyourbaby.com.au/birth-and-postpartum-plan/ https://www.facebook.com/yourbirthyourbabyra/ https://www.instagram.com/yourbirthyourbaby/

08.01.2022 Reposted from @coddledotco FLAT OR INVERTED NIPPLES Flat or inverted nipples will make it difficult for you to breastfeed your baby. If you give birth in the hospital the difficulty starts there. So make sure you demand to see a lactation consultant don't tough it out on your own! They are skilled to evaluate your nipples and help you with what will work. Don't leave until you see one. This is the story from the mama pictured: In the beginning I u...sed breastplates, because it felt so good to have him close to me...but unfortunately my dear nipples had never seen the day of light. When they got so overexposed it ended up with two flesh wounds and got 3 massive breast infections. They had to rest and I had to get well. The next time I tried Leon wasn't interested at all. That was a tough time for me, because I wanted him close to me. I was very determined for him to receive my milk, so I was breast pumping like crazy for 4 months.....almost had a mental breakdown Anyway..breastplates can work but you have to be prepared that breastfeeding can be troublesome. And this constant pressure about breast feeding is a fucking hassle! Be proud of the mother you are whether you are breastfeeding or with a flask. Yes, I have sunken nipples...DEAL WITH IT !"

07.01.2022 Know anyone that's pregnant? Are they having some sort of baby shower? Ge them something totally out of the box that they'll thank you for later - a gift voucher/money towards a birth or postpartum doula! I have gift vouchers available for my services, and many other doulas do too.

06.01.2022 World Breastfeeding Week 2020 Did you meet your own breastfeeding goal? Tell me in the comments. Did you know that in Australia 2/3 of mothers don't meet their OWN breastfeeding goals? Regardless of whether the goal was 3 months or 18 months, something happened for a massive number of families which means they're not reaching that goal. ... The two biggest breastfeeding hurdles reported where an abundance of misinformation and a lack of support. It's for this reason that in my Postpartum Preparation Sessions, the biggest topic we cover is breastfeeding. I'll go through what to expect, the best sources to get up-to-date, evidence based information when you have questions, how to build a solid support network around yourself, as well as a little myth-busting. Send me a DM or comment below if you have any questions about these sessions or would like to book a time. Photo by @trinacaryphotography

04.01.2022 #Repost @thelittlebirthcompany You see this... now turn your phone to landscape, either way... can you see the difference in the angle that the baby and pelvis make? Your baby has a more direct exit if you are in an upright position.... If you are laying on your back, your baby has to travel round a bend to be born, which can take slightly longer in many cases. The priority is your comfort and your instincts, you get in the position that feels right for you at the time. It is always worth baring in mind though, that it can help to change position Have you had any thoughts about birth positions?

04.01.2022 Do you know what this is? 'A squished yoga ball?' you may say. And you're not far off. It's called a peanut ball, and if you're pregnant it's definitely a piece of equipment you should know about for labour. It has many uses, but most of them boil down to helping maintain an open position of the pelvis usually while the labouring person is resting on a bed or with an epidural. Research has shown there are many benefits to using this type of ball; shorter first stage of labour..., shorter second stage of labour, reduced incidence of caesarean sections and more. If you're planning on an epidural, you might want to ask if your care providers/hospital routinely use peanut balls to help with maintaining an open pelvis. If you're not planning on using an epidural, it's a great tool to ask about, be aware of and have in your tool kit of coping options. Sometimes you just need a rest, and a bed can be a great place to do that on. The peanut ball can help maintain open pelvis positioning while you take a break from standing, walking, swaying. This article by Lamaze International has photos of different positioning and further explores the uses and benefits of the peanut balls. https://www.lamaze.org//peanut-balls-for-labor-a-valuable- See more

04.01.2022 Picture this: you've just given birth. You've got a brand new baby. You're a brand new parent (even if you already have children). You're in the haze of night feeds, visitors, and nappies. How often do you think about your uterus, and the 20cm wound in it?... When the placenta detaches from the wall of the uterus after birth, that's what's left behind - a wound that's 20cm in diameter - the size of the bread plate in this photo. If this wound was on the outside, say from a motorbike accident, you'd be told to rest, repeatedly. You'd have dinners arranged, maybe a cleaner come every few days, arrange playdates or childcare for older children, maybe have a parent or friend come stay with you for a few weeks to support you. But after childbrith, this exact wound is there, but on the inside, 'invisible'. And you're sent home to look after yourself AND a newborn baby, and perhaps older children. You might get a few dinners bought over, your bestie might be able to come over one day a week to help with washing and hold baby while you have an extra nap, but ultimately our Western culture let's new parents down. So you'll need to think ahead and arrange your own extra support. Because you will need as much looking after as your new baby. Contact me to chat about Postpartum Doula support, or check out my website. My pricing is now listed.

03.01.2022 Fundraising and Headshaving!! Vulnerable new mums need our help more than ever and that's why I’ve decided to help raise much needed funds to assist The Babes Project. The Babes Project is determined to raise $1 million, to ensure they can be there for every woman who needs help at her most vulnerable. With this in mind I am going to send 2020 off with a bang and shave my head on 31 Dec and would appreciate any donations to help me raise as much money as I can to help. If yo...u’d like to donate, head to the campaign page https://www.1millionformums.com/ where you can donate any amount, anonymously if you prefer. If you were to leave a little comment for example: 'Go Rachel...we love supporting you and vulnerable young families', I’ll be able to roughly track how much we’ve raised for them. On Head Shaving Day, I’ll video and post on my socials (Facebook and @yourbirthyourbaby on Instagram) for anyone that’s interested. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks in advance for your support for this great organisation.

02.01.2022 Have a look at this! Very little pressure is making the knot slide up and down the cord. If you’re told you have a true knot during pregnancy or find one after birth, don’t be alarmed. They’re common, and the body has ways of making sure they’re RARELY a problem

01.01.2022 Q: How are you?' A: 'I'm well/good/fine thanks, how are you?' I don't know about you, but the auto-response of 'I'm fine' is strong in me! So much so that when my GP rang me the other day for a scheduled tele-health appointment, and she asked me the 'how are you?' I still responded with 'I'm good' even though the reason she was calling me was that I was miserable with a chest/sinus infection. I wanted to bring this to your attention so you can examine any auto-responses you may have, and think about whether they're serving a purpose for you, they're just ingrained. Photo @kinshipbykristy

01.01.2022 Epidurals are brilliant pain relief, but theyre not without drawbacks. There are subtle differences to the epidural and spinal blocks, and each has different instances where theyre used, but for the purpose of this blog I have lumped them in same basket. Firstly let me say that the decision on whether to have an epidural is a personal one. If youre not planning on one going in to labour but then up having one, for whatever reason, you have not failed. [ 684 more words ] http://yourbirthyourbaby.com.au/20//17/about-the-epidural/
