Returning to the conversation around safety in homebirth...
This is a real question/concern not just presented by parents -but other medical providers. Which is, er, interesting. Because the knowledge of anatomy & physiology explains why (when done properly) waterbirth cannot cause drowning.
Let me explain👇🏼
When your baby is born there is a nerve on their face (the TRIGEMINAL nerve) that is activated by the cool air, which causes them to take their first breath.Their lungs, already filled with fluid, then expand which causes negative pressure in the chest, which draws in air & pushes out the fluid in the lungs into surrounding tissues. This first breath also begins the physiological cascade in their circulatory system -triggering the fetal shunts to close & redirect blood flow fully through the lungs. But what does this even mean?
When your baby is born *under* the warm water, the trigeminal nerve has not been activated. It is when they're brought up out of the water that it is activated & they take their first breath.
💦 It's important that the provider you hire has experience with providing waterbirth because there are important things they should know to keep babies safe. Most midwives are the experts in waterbirth BUT not all.
Here are some guidelines:
✅️ Mothers should keep their bottom fully submerged when delivering the head. To prevent that activation of the trigeminal nerve. Otherwise she needs to stand up completely to birth her baby.
✅️ Whoever is pulling the baby out of the water should do so with care, to prevent snapping the umbilical cord which would cause the baby to lose blood. Ideally, the mother does because she can feel the pull on the cord. Some umbilical cords are really short or need to be unwrapped from baby.
✅️ The water temperature of the birth pool needs to be maintained between 97-99⁰. Not too hot & not too cold.
✅️ 💩 Ninjas (your birth team) should remove any f***l matter as soon as possible.
✅️ Hydration & monitoring your temp should be performed frequently to assess for over heating & dehydration.
✅️ If an emergency occurs during the birth, the mother should be supported in getting out of the tub immediately.

Merry Christmas Eve!! 🎄

Pro tip: If you're giving birth in the hospital, bring a freezer meal & put it in the nourishment room fridge or your own cooler so you can have a warm, delicious, nourishing meal, after your marathon.

If you're giving birth at home, we've got you covered! We will whip something up in the kitchen before we leave & make sure you're well hydrated & fed something hearty before we tuck you into bed and leave. 😘

I want to know, who here went into labor at night? Who went into labor at night & then when the sun rose, labor stopped? (That's me!) Who had poor sleep & went post dates?👇🏼
》》
Sleep & melatonin play very important roles in your health, especially in pregnancy!
》》
What is melatonin? It's a hormone in the body that is produced in most cells. Melatonin is produced from serotonin. Serotonin is produced in the gut, those with gut dysbiosis (leaky gut) or lack the nutrients required to synthesize melatonin will decrease your body's ability to create & release melatonin. Melatonin is a potent antioxidant, it's neuroprotective, aids in bile production & detoxification, can improve adaptation to stress, & helps lower inflammation by regulating the immune system. There is 400x more melatonin in the GI tract then in the nervous system!
》》
How does this relate to pregnancy? There are studies that show promising effects on:
▪︎ Prevention of induction for postterm pregnancies
▪︎ Prevention/treatment of preeclampsia
▪︎ Supporting fetal development & prevention of IUGR via placental perfusion
▪︎ Reduces oxidative stress
▪︎ Enhances mitochondrial production + the body's ability to detoxify *including your baby's* as it crosses the placenta!
▪︎ Treating infertility
▪︎ And one that interests me the most: A potential candidate for the treatment of perinatal asphyxia & HIE!!
》》
Should you run out & just start supplementing? No. I'm not your provider & this isn't medical advice.
Here's what you should start with to promote your body's own production:
▪︎ Better sleep hygiene: No blue light within 90 minutes of bedtime. Go to sleep by 10 pm. Dark room. Decrease temp to ~67⁰ in your room. Use all the pillows you need to get comfortable. P*e before bed. Take your magnesium. Get morning light in your eyeballs. Eat a snack before bed, preferably one high in tryptophan.
▪︎ If you need to supplement:
Chinese skullcap herb contains high levels of naturally occurring melatonin.
Get *slow release* 3mg.
Make sure you have the necessary nutrients to synthesize melatonin (especially if you get side effects). B complex, magnesium, zinc, vitamin C, & iron.

🩺 Next up in the series...
>> Parents want to know: "what if my baby needs help after birth?"
This is *my* setup -your midwife's might be different.
::
It's not enough to just have the supplies & equipment though!
You need a competent birth team who understands neonatal resuscitation and can perform it accurately under pressure.
And anyone who works with Indigo Midwifery is certified in Neonatal resuscitation!!
::
You should also know that there is a slightly increased risk to the baby when having a homebirth. (2.6/1000 in a planned community birth vs. 0.8/1000 -in Utah) Because the fact of the matter is, we aren't a NICU team and we are in a low-resource setting. And some emergencies are unpredictable/unpreventable.
::
When we meet at a 36 week home visit we cover the majority of the reasons we may need to transfer, we discuss what a normal newborn transition looks like, & we come up with a transfer plan. In some births spaces, parents and providers alike, don't want to "manifest" it by thinking about it or discussing it. However, it's imperative to me that we are all on the same page & parents are fully informed all along the way!

Share this with someone who has questions about the safety measures taken at a homebirth!

🧸 Let's do a safety series!!!
One of things I get asked a lot about is how we maintain safety in a community setting. This is a multifaceted response...
1. Midwives should have proper training in birth emergencies & be prepared to manage these. Including equipment, meds, supplies, assistance, and the knowledge and/or hands on experience.
2. There should be a thorough conversation/education/monitoring starting at the interview, throughout prenatal visits, & clear communication with shared decision making during the labor, birth, and postpartum.
3. The informed consent document should reflect the risks as well.
4. The mother should be low-risk and appropriate for community birth. Though this doesn't negate the presence of ALL risks. Some things we can't foresee.
5. A deep understanding from *both * parents that birth is as safe as life. The willingness to accept these risks & assume a portion of the responsibility.
6. A healthy fear of birth on all sides. Birth *demands* respect.
7. A discussion around transferring, how that looks, how your midwife manages emergencies, i.e. "Can you tell me about a time you had to transfer a baby, what led to your decision, how did you navigate it, and what was the outcome?"
8. What does your intuition say?
::
Community midwives KNOW NORMAL. If/when deviations from normal occur, we don't wait for red flags & for a problem to potentially get worse before transferring.
::
In *my* opinion, a solid midwife knows how to be present -consistent risk assessment, how to sit on her hands & allow labor to unfold normally, when to step in, and has the discernment and competency to know when homeopathics/herbs are enough or when more is needed.
Equipment/medication/herbs/tinctures/homeopathy accessibility don't make birth safer if the provider doesn't know when/how to use them appropriately.

If you were to ask me what my top 3 suggestions are for navigating an unmedicated birth, here is what I would *Not* tell you...
•TENS machine
•Labor combs
•Water
•Childbirth education
•Affirmation cards
•Essential Oils
•Or any other product being sold to you
::
Here is what I *would* tell you...
✨️Focus on physical health & wellbeing. Which includes a nutrient dense diet, physical activity, & mental well being. Stress, nutrient deficiencies, & lack of physical activity are not only detrimental to you/baby's health, it could potentially cause your pregnancy to turn high-risk. It can also have an effect on timing, complications, & outcome.
::
✨️Your environment. I have seen women birth at home, in the hospital, in their back yard, in a tent, in the car, tiny homes, unfinished basements, studio apartments... The one thing that matters the most?? Where do YOU feel most comfortable? Not: how aesthetic it is, how big, or how tidy. When you think about the environment, where does your body relax & take a sigh of relief? Where do you feel safe?
::
✨️Your support. Whether you are surrounded by your partner, a doula, a family member, your kids, or your bestie. And most definitely your provider & birth team! When you envision yourself in labor, in your space, and in the zone; when you open your eyes & look up, what face(s) do you want to see? The who is just as important as the what & how. Do you feel your birth team is competent & safe? Do you feel a connection & trust? Do they listen more than they talk? Offer guidance, options, the information needed & the space to decide? Are they present? Not just physically, but emotionally and mentally? If you imagine your birth team, can you imagine being unapologetically vulnerable & wild?
::
✨️You can have all the tools & take all the classes. Those are WONDERFUL. But they are meant to enhance the experience by being supportive. If your body isn't in an optimal state of well-being, you don't feel safe or supported, than those tools will only carry you so far.
✨And even then, you can do all the "right things," BUT Birth is unpredictable. Not meant to be tamed, forced, or controlled. Be prepared to go with the flow. 🌊

In my practice, these are a non-negotiable. This is known as holding space.
But what does "holding space" even mean?
::
It means; I am being present with people in a way that helps them to feel safe to let their guard down. Sometimes I am sitting in the discomfort or "mess" with them and co-regulating while they process. Most of the time my input isn't even needed but sometimes it's requested.
::
It means; I am taking the time to celebrate their accomplishments with them and/or remembering the small details they have shared with me before. It's taking the time to check in so I can meet people where they're at.
::
This isn't an added "perk."
This is what community midwifery is about.
This *is* H E A L T H C A R E.
::
People have said to me "I don't even know what I would talk about for an hour with people!"
I'll tell you; we've talked about fears of the impending birth, fear of being a good enough parent, domestic abuse, their older child's struggles, the recent loss of a loved one, mental health struggles, parental incarceration, their previous traumatic birth, their annoying mother in law, their overwhelm & decision fatigue, body dysmorphia, & lack of support. It's not always so deep there's a lot of laughter & soapbox rants too!
And then I can feel the shift in energy, witness their shoulders drop, their hands slow or stop gripping/shaking. Their facial expressions shift & sometimes they relax back into the couch.
::
We weave in the education to these conversations, ask pertinent questions, & then provide the clinical care. It doesn't even have to take a full hour! A great provider can spend the first 10 minutes of an appointment checking in with you. This is wholistic care. You are more than a vessel for your baby. And we know that when moms are well cared for, so too are their babies.🌀

Remember that B I G announcement that was coming?!🎉
It is finally time to announce that Indigo Midwifery will be closing its doors and moving onto even bigger opportunities! 🙌🏼 It is so bittersweet to be moving from my homebirth practice that I built with literal blood, sweat, and tears from the ground up. Learning how to create and run a business in a new place with nearly no support. Getting my name out there any way I could. Collaborating with hospital providers, joining the state committees, volunteering for the Utah Midwives Organization, starting with a little office in my rental home, driving all over for home visits, and creating/hosting my own midwifery assistant course so I could have my own assistants for births. It was HARD.
Through that massive transformation, I had so much love & support from so many incredible families who trusted me with their care, and it has been such a privilege to be working IN the community. With my eyes wide open, seeing the diverse needs & gaps within it. My heart is in homebirth, and the choices it has given back to women.
BUT I won't be going far! When I originally told my husband we needed to move back to CV, it was because I knew we needed a birth center here & that became a goal of mine. But with the amount of work, time, and funding it takes to create something of my dreams, I couldn't pull it off alone. So I just set aside. That's when Stacy Hepner and I met & we shared about our mutual dream of a birth center in CV! Finally, someone who could make the dream come true. 😍 I feel so privileged to be not only working for Cache Valley's first accredited birth center but also alongside one of my favorite humans & providers here. You can find me & student Amber at the birth center beginning this summer. I will be finishing out all of my homebirth clients for the year, and then I will be full-time at the center as a staff midwife attending births in a way that is more sustainable for my life & allows me to be more present with my family.
You will also find me completing a functional medicine program this year & beginning my somatic facilitation in the community. Stay Tuned!🤟🏼

It's International Midwives Day!!! 🩺
Not to toot our own horns but.... TOOT! TOOT!
::
"A recent analysis suggests that a well-integrated midwife workforce could avert a significant number of maternal and neonatal deaths and stillbirths."
:
"The WHO recommends midwives as an evidence-based approach to reducing maternal mortality."
:
If you would have told me 20 years ago that I would be a home birth midwife, I would have been awestruck, maybe a little surprised, and definitely excited.
::
But I wouldn't have understood yet what it meant to kneel at the feet of women, stand on the backs of giants, and between the threshold of life & death.
I wouldn't have known what sacred, assiduous, and rebellious work holding the space for mothers to birth new souls into the world on their terms.
::
But I would have felt it in my bones as the truth.
::
I have walked alongside and have been held by some of the best midwives out there. I have been welcomed by and befriended by many of the best clients, and my life is full because of it. 🌀🩵🤍
