so incredible

Während der Schwangerschaft wandern die Zellen des Babys in den Blutkreislauf der Mutter und kehren dann in das Baby zurück, was als "fetal-mütterlicher Mikrochimärismus" bezeichnet wird.

41 Wochen lang zirkulieren und verschmelzen die Zellen und nach der Geburt des Babys bleiben viele dieser Zellen im Körper der Mutter und hinterlassen einen bleibenden Abdruck im Gewebe, in den Knochen, im Gehirn und in der Haut der Mutter, wo sie oft jahrzehntelang bleiben.
Jedes Kind wird einen ähnlichen Abdruck hinterlassen. Studien haben auch Zellen eines Fötus im Gehirn einer Mutter 18 Jahre nach der Entbindung nachgewiesen.

Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass, wenn das Herz einer Mutter verletzt wird, fetale Zellen zur Verletzungsstelle eilen und sich in verschiedene Arten von Zellen verwandeln, die auf die Reparatur des Herzens spezialisiert sind. Das Baby hilft, die Mutter zu reparieren, während die Mutter das Baby aufbaut. Das ist oft der Grund, warum bestimmte Krankheiten während der Schwangerschaft verschwinden.

Es ist unglaublich zu sehen, wie der Körper der Mutter das Baby um jeden Preis schützt und das Baby seine Mutter schützt und wieder aufbaut - damit es sich sicher entwickeln und überleben kann. Wenn Sie eine Mutter sind, wissen Sie, dass Sie Ihr Kind intuitiv spüren können, auch wenn es nicht da ist ...

Nun, jetzt gibt es einen wissenschaftlichen Beweis dafür, dass Mütter ihre Kinder über Jahre und Jahrzehnte hinweg tragen, sogar nachdem sie sie geboren haben.

Introducing the woman behind Nurtured Journeys.

Talitha Herrick is an Endorsed Private Practice Midwife following her calling in nurturing couples to create informed, positive journeys through pregnancy, birth and beyond. Graduating from Nursing at CQU in 2001 she specialised in Neonatal Care before she began her midwifery career in 2012. She has since worked in tertiary, private, and rural hospital settings and as Director of My Own Midwife GC. Her experience in working with families has given her scope to holistically consider the individual needs of women.

Talitha understands the system, how to navigate this and why it is essential couples are informed and feeling they have the power to lead their experience in birth. She believes women deserve a positive, transformative birth and she knows that when preferences are nurtured this can be achieved.

Talitha’s passion lies in facilitating an empowering journey through the sharing of evidence-based knowledge, exploration of beliefs/fears and transforming them to offer connection to the innate power within. Childbirth is a deeply meaningful and significant event effecting the life-long journey of parenting. She has seen first-hand the effectiveness of a known care provider and use of Hypnobirthing in creating a positive birth experience.

After some welcome rest, I return as an Endorsed Private Practice Midwife to offer midwifery services to women in the Gold Coast area.

Nurtured Journeys is born of the offerings of genuine care for women and my desire to be a companion in empowerment through exploration, knowledge and support.

Currently I am available to provide pregnancy and after birth care to women due August onwards and am open to taking bookings for homebirth for women due in October onwards. I would be happy to hear from you if you are curious about what I have to offer. 🍊☀️

As the week brings us the final closures of our business, we extend a farewell and thanks to many.

Firstly we extend our thanks to all the families we have been lucky enough to inform, advocate for and support. Pregnancy is a deep journey of exploring, learning, adjusting & we as midwives are gratefully serving in our provision of care. Birth, a sacred portal of transformation we have been honoured to witness. Parenting, a complicated, fascinating journey of growth we have joyfully supported. Thankyou for investing in your knowledge and development of trust.

Thanking midwives whom have walked with us - for making the team work as well as it did. We relied on one another 24hrs a day/ 7days a week. The communication, devotion and integrity was exceptional.

Thanking our amazing secretaries Beth & Lyn. Your pleasant smiles & voice made the clinic run smooth.

Thanking the owners of 207 Currumburra Road, Ashmore. The clinic provided us a comfortable space to practice for 10 years. It provided a place for mother’s to meet & connect. Gratitude goes out to other health providers such as lactation consultants Shona & Arlie, osteopath Victoria, massage therapists Meaghan & Kristina. Thanking those that used our space to support positive birth such as Shari & others.

Thanking Gold Coast University Hospital for the collaboration & access agreement we had. Utilizing the hospital as needed allowed the continuity of care to our clients to be complete whether it was a planned birth centre or surgical birth or a transfer from home birth.

Thanking all of those in the background whom helped our service flow. Web master, photographers, student midwives, accountants, MIGA, BOC. Thanking those I have not mentioned.

Thanking our family and friends for your support, patience & understanding.

It’s been an incredible experience.

Farewell

Talitha & Maria
