Building the bond.

We all know how important it is to build a bond with our babies.
But how much time do we spend building a bond with our midwives?
Appointments are short, conversations are rushed, we are too polite to ask questions, we don't want to be seen as a pain.
Well let me tell you, you are not a pain, you don't need to be polite, you and your feelings are important, your questions are valid.
If you feel you are struggling to build a positve relationship with your midwife ask for another (or get your partner to ask). You have the right to do so and I strongly recommend you do if you're not getting the right vibes. From personal experience I can say it was my biggest regret during my oldest daughter's birth. I was too polite, didn't want to cause a fuss and I live with those traumatic events where I felt ignored and unsupported everyday. If I'd of known I had the option and wasn't so polite I could have spoken up and come out of it with a completely different experience.
We were not built to birth alone, we need support, encouragement, protection, kindness. Make sure you are getting this.

😳 Transition.

👉 This is a point in labour where your body naturally releases a spike of adrenaline. This adrenaline is there to protect you, it's your body's innate way of checking the surroundings are safe. If they are your adrenaline levels will drop, your oxytocin will reise and your body will continue to birth your baby. If there is a threat your body will pause labour and you will have the energy you need to flea to safety.
Transition can be tough. The hormonal change can have a massive impact on your mindset. It's very common to feel scared, panicked and emotional at this stage. However knowing what it is and why it's happening can help. Understanding that it is an evolutionary trate that is there to for protection of you and your baby can help. If your birth partner knows what transition is and how they can best support you at this point can really help.

💪Transition is a bitch but even just reading this post will help.
