“Please call me Sophie,” says Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau by way of introduction.

Though she’s married to Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, the role doesn’t come with an official “First Lady” title, as it does in the United States.

Today is ! Worldwide, as nurses, midwives, doctors, and community health workers, women are at the front line of health care. Health workers’ employment conditions need to be gender-sensitive to ensure full participation by women. Women and men should receive equal pay for equal work in health and other sectors.

Sobre el uso del

El uso del chupete se encuentra muy arraigado en las sociedades desarrolladas, ya que calma el llanto de un bebe, ayuda a conciliar el sueño, y reduce el estrés y el dolor en procedimientos desagradables, situaciones que provocan preocupación y ansiedad en los padres.

This is what contractions do!

Did you know labor is less about your cervix opening and more about the thickness and contracting power of the uterus moving baby down and out? READ more about what empowering birth expert Carla Hartley has to say about this revelatory perspective in birth physiology!

"We think in pictures and we should be painting accurate pictures. The cervix nor the va**na bloom. The cervix is not a zip lock bag. The purpose of labor is NOT the creation of an opening or a hole... The purpose of labor contractions and retractions is to BUILD the fundus, which will, when it is ready, EJECT the baby, like a piston. Without a nice thick fundus there is no power to get baby out....the cervix does not dilate out....it dilates UP as a result of the effort to pull muscles up into the uterus to push muscles up to the fundus. The cervical dilation is secondary to that. The cervix is pulled up as a result of the building of the fundus. Assigning a number to cervical dilation is of little consequence and we make a huge mistake by interpreting progress or predicting time of birth to that number. Any experienced midwife or OB can tell you that the cervix can be manipulated and that a woman whose cervix is at 7 could have the baby in a few minutes or a few hours.

If more providers and educators knew the truth about birth physiology, we could make a huge difference for mothers. What is important is to keep her well supported for the purpose of the appropriate chemistry, to keep her well hydrated and nourished for muscle strength, and to believe in her. We should be supporting her so that her physiology and that of her baby are unhindered, so they can finish what they started.

We should not be measuring, poking, or interpreting her labor. THIS CHANGE in teaching about labor could make such a difference for women who are imagining what is happening in their bodies during labor. How much more strength might they have if they have an accurate picture?" -Carla Hartley

Preciso não dormir
Até se consumar
O tempo
Da gente
Preciso conduzir
Um tempo de te amar
Te amando devagar
E urgentemente
Pretendo descobrir
No último momento
Um tempo que refaz o que desfez
Que recolhe todo o sentimento
E bota no corpo uma outra vez

Prometo te querer
Até o amor cair
Doente
Doente
Prefiro então partir
A tempo de poder
A gente se desvencilhar da gente
Depois de te perder
Te encontro, com certeza
Talvez num tempo da delicadeza
Onde não diremos nada
Nada aconteceu
Apenas seguirei, como encantado
Ao lado teu

Buenísimo. Totalmente cierto. A ver si a más de uno le deja la semillita germinando. Y nunca mejor dicho.

Poned a una pareja que quiera hacer el amor o s**o en la misma situación a una mujer que tiene que dar a luz y, ¿qué es lo que tendremos? El grupo Freedom Fo...
