Merry Christmas 🎄

Did you know that the placenta is essential resuscitation equipment!
Babies are born with their own resuscitation equipment. The placenta not only helps the baby to transition, but assists with resuscitation if needed. There is no reason to clamp and cut the cord of a baby who needs help. Doing so will create more problems for the baby and mother. Anything that needs to be done can be done with back-up from the placenta, and the involvement of the mother.

SHE IS NOT SLEEPING.
.
She has her eyes closed, but she doesn't.
She is feeding her child.
Her arm is in the wrong position, she hurts, but she does not move, because the baby is comfortable like that.
She appears to be sleeping, but she is not.
She's tired, she closes her eyes, but she listens to every breath of her baby.
Even tonight she will spend it like this.
In that position.
Awkward, weird, but like this.
She doesn't move so as not to wake him up.
She would like to fall asleep but she doesn't.
A mother's night is only the other half of the day.

✨The uterus is considered a free floating organ, supported by 14 ligaments, nestled between the bladder & bowels. ✨It has the capacity to shift & move, to grow & shrink not only during pregnancy but also during each & every menstrual cycle. ✨ A non-menstruating uterus weighs about 4oz, but by the end of pregnancy these same ligaments must support an organ that now averages aprox 11lbs ✨The amount of strain incurred on the uterus can be likened to first degree musculoskeletal strain - with a recovery time taking much more than 6 weeks ✨ Healing the uterine ligaments is a primary reason why profound REST is so important during the fourth trimester 🛌 May we all live with strength & vitality & without prolapse ✊🏻

Did you know how good encapsulation is for the maternal cardiovascular system post brith? The placenta is rich in selenium, a mineral with antioxidant properties that protect cells from damage[1] and may be partly why placental ingestion is so effective in aiding uterine recovery. (2)

What do you know about iron and the placenta? Studies show a strong correlation between maternal iron levels and the mother’s experience of depression, stress, and cognitive functioning postpartum. (3,4) Amazingly, a term placenta has an iron equivalent of nearly two blood transfusions. (5)

Claiming homebirth is ‘risky’, while pretending hospital birth is not, completely ignores what we know to be true. The evidence and statistics are clear. Hospital birth carries risks we do not see in homebirth. And homebirth is just as safe, if not more safe for many.

Regardless of where you choose to give birth, no where is risk free. The best place for you to birth is the place YOU feel safe, supported and in control.

Reach for the stars. Aim higher.

Your cervix is not a crystal ball. All it can tell you is what is happening at that exact moment. It can not tell you how far away you are from holding your baby. Stop letting people put there hands up you to check every other minute.
