The world is asleep, but here you are, rocking, nursing, soothing, surviving. The room is dim, your eyes are heavy, and yet, somehow, your heart finds the strength to keep going. You might think no one sees you, but I promise… this is the kind of love heaven applauds.

These quiet, sacred hours aren’t wasted. They’re where the magic happens. Where your baby learns safety, warmth, and connection, all from the rhythm of your heartbeat and the comfort of your touch. You are the steady light in the middle of their little night.

And yes, it’s exhausting. The kind of tired that seeps into your bones. But even through the fog, you’re doing something miraculous. You’re feeding, nurturing, bonding, teaching your baby that love shows up, over and over again, even at 1 a.m.

You might not realize it now, but these moments, these sleepy feeds, these soft whispers in the dark, are the threads that weave the story of motherhood. A story of devotion, sacrifice, and strength that no one else will ever fully understand but you.

So take a deep breath, Mama. You’re doing enough. You are enough. The world will still be there in the morning, but tonight, it’s just you and your baby, and that’s more than enough. 💕

Why Aren’t More Breech Babies Born at Home? by Karin Peacock
I have fewer than 100 births under my belt. As a student midwife, I am always asking questions and wondering about the “whys” of birth. The majority of my birth work has been done within the walls of a free-standing birth center attended by local CNMs and CPMs and only serving low-risk mothers. However, after recently witnessing my first frank breech delivery at a homebirth, I realized how relaxed, gentle and normal breech birth can be. I can’t stop asking the world, “Why aren’t more breech babies born at home?”

Interesting who posted this article- not medical, however true

Decades of research have shown that round-the-clock fetal monitoring does not reliably predict fetal distress, and experts say it leads to many unnecessary surgeries. But it’s still used in nearly every birth in the U.S. because of business and legal concerns, a New York Times investigation found. https://nyti.ms/3WF7yLx
