There is some serious magic happening in this photo!

When physiologic birth is respected and protected, it’s very common for the amniotic sac/bag of water to break on its own closer to pushing or baby’s birth. This photo captures the baby coming into the world with its bag intact! Baby is in its amniotic fluid and being born into water! 💫

From our sister midwives in Mexico City...a beautiful reminder 🦋 Can’t wait to be with you ladies Luna Maya DF on Saturday!

La mujer está en el centro y la mujer decide. Siempre.
¿Quiere estar en el agua? Perfecto. ¿Quiere estar acompañada? Bien. ¿Quiere estar sola? Bien. ¿Quiere estar sentada en la taza del baño? Ok. ¿Quiere ella recibir a su bebé? Fantástico.
Cada mujer sabe lo que es mejor para ella, su cuerpo y su bebé y las parteras les creemos y las apoyamos en sus decisiones.
No “permitimos” que hagan lo que quieran, las protagonistas siempre son ellas y quienes permiten que se haga una u otra cosa, son ellas.
Nosotras apoyamos, acompañamos y las abrazamos en sus procesos. Cuando las mujeres son respetadas en sus decisiones, su maternidad es más gozosa porque se saben poderosas, capaces y sostenidas!

There’s so much beauty in this photo. A mother holding the baby she grew for so long, her baby covered in vernix or “birthday frosting”, a limp and pale cord that has given baby it’s full blood supply, warm water for a soothing environment. 😍

The peace between progress. Labor has this sweet gift for mamas. It’s the breaks between contractions. It allows you to focus on getting baby closer, then breathing, and then bringing baby a little closer. And repeat. You can rest, move, ask for support, make a joke, take a bite of food or a drink, and go right back to bringing baby down. This is one of the secrets to an unmedicated birth. Taking one contraction at a time and building strength during your breaks.

I love this baby’s unrushed, gentle entrance into this world! His mama’s joy is everything we want for all families.
