Awesome news!

INTERESTING! FROM My Expert Midwife Did you know, since the Covid-19 lockdown began in the UK, mums and midwives across the country have seen an increase in the number of babies coming back up to their birth weight by day 5! - Something that has not been seen in decades!
It is totally normal for your baby's weight to decrease post birth, however in recent years, it's been known to take up to day 10, or longer, for babies to get back up to their birth weight. This meant, extra measures were advised if your baby's day 5 weigh-in didn’t reach the expected amount.

Interestingly, what the lockdown and self-isolation has shown us is that without a constant stream of visitors, mum and baby have had a better opportunity for uninterrupted bonding which seems to have hugely helped mums and babies to establish breastfeeding and feed for longer, helping them regain their weight far quicker!

Whilst this evidence from midwives and other professionals is only anecdotal, at this stage, we hope that, once the NHS workload has returned to normal, formal research can look into this data in greater detail as this could have a huge impact on how women and their partners prepare for postpartum and breastfeeding.

One of my favorite organizations.
What a beautiful photo 🖤

This mommas life was saved today by the skilled hands of her Haitien midwife at Mamababy Haiti.

When she continued pouring copious blood after the birth of her first baby, despite the shot of pitocin in her thigh, her midwife gave her misoprostol in her mouth against her cheek, stopping one of the severest hemorrhages she had seen.

It took other skills too... quick delivery of the placenta, a catheter to empty moms bladder, uterine massage.

These are skills that a midwife has, making birth a safe event. This young beautiful woman would have died today without these skills.

Thank you to all the hands that kept her safely earthside. Thank you to all of you who support MamaBaby Haiti so we can continue providing free prenatal and birth care to women and babies so they never have to birth alone.

"A study published in Pediatrics in 2016 documented that only around one in 200 intact boys will develop a medical condition necessitating a circumcision before the age of 18 years. In other words, the chance is around 99.5 percent that a newborn boy can retain his valuable fo****in throughout infancy, childhood, and adolescence and enter adulthood with an intact p***s."

Meanwhile, your circumcised son has about a 10% chance of needing a circumcision revision at some point in his adolescence.

He also has a 10-20% chance of suffering meatal stenosis at some point in his life, which almost always requires surgical correction.

By circumcising your son, you are GREATLY increasing their chance of needing additional pe**le surgery at some point in their lifetime.

They believe the procedure has no meaningful health benefits.
