This is my 2nd home birth… I had the pleasure of holding a safe space for my mama to do her thang. 👶🏽❤️❤️
The Midwife is examining the placenta after birth. The placenta can tell you a lot about your pregnancy including your health & gestational age of the pregnancy. The midwife is looking at the shape & consistency of the placenta. She will look for any missing pieces to ensure that none is left inside the uterus.
The Fetal side of the placenta is smooth. Unlike the mother’s side of the placenta. The midwife will look to see if the umbilical cord is attached in the center of the placenta & not on the side or in the membrane.
While some people have no desire to see the placenta, it is becoming more popular to look at the placenta, to take it home make smoothies and cook with it.
The placenta is a amazing unique organ. It’s the only disposable organ the body has. The placenta helped house & nourish your baby during your pregnancy .

Bengkung Belly Binding. After giving my client today a postpartum belly massage she asked if she could try a belly bind to see if she would like it. So I gave her a rundown of what it does for the body & how it feels to be wrapped. Bengkung Belly Binding is a traditional Malaysian technique used to bind a woman during their postpartum period. I used a long muslin cloth approx 17yards x9”. The cloth is wrapped around the abdominal area, starting low on the hips all the way up to where the bottom of your bra would lay. The binding offers support to the womb after birth. It aids healing, allowing your organs/ abdominal muscles to move back into its original position. The Bengkung bind also supports your pelvic floor It gives you a gentle compression that holds muscles & ligaments safely in place as your body heals it can also improve posture. Belly binding is not the same as waist training, belly binding is only meant to be a supportive device. You can begin belly binding depending on how you gave birth & which type of binding you plan on using. If you gave birth vaginally & the birth went well, you can start binding right away. If you delivered via C Section, you should wait until your incision is healed & dry before doing so. However talk to your midwife before you start binding. Bengkung binding are best tied directly on bare skin. But some of my clients prefer to have a bind over a vest top instead. You can move around comfortably & it shouldn’t impede on your ability to breathe or perform simple tasks like sitting. Some clients choose to wear their binds anywhere from 2~12hrs per day taking it off before bedtime. Client can opt to wear their bind for up to 2-6wks postpartum. This client added it onto her package.🤗
