The Birth Story: This mama absolutely rocked her second homebirth, it was an honor to be invited to capture it, witness this family grow as they met their final addition, and work alongside Corinne and Shelli.

You did it, mama!

“Dating pregnancy is not an exact science and there is considerable variation between women.

It is normal that some women naturally have longer pregnancies than others.

The idea that something terrible will happen if a woman remains pregnant for a moment longer than 42 weeks just isn’t true.

The baby doesn’t turn into a pumpkin at midnight.”

It’s so important that women have full information and are able to look at the pros and cons of different courses of action before making the decisions that are right for them.

Part of that is sorting the myths from the facts.

This quote is from my book, “Inducing Labour: making informed decisions."

After she changed positions - it didn’t take long for her to feel pushy. Just a short minute later, she roared her baby out and into the world. It was incredible!! ✨​​​​​​​​

A little late to post but I was able to serve this amazing family again! Lots of prayer, emotion and love (a great doctor and a clear drape)! Welcome, baby!

Grandmother breastfeeding her grandchild. It is a common practice in many cultures for a grandmother to relactate so that she may breastfeed her grandchild. It is truly an act of love.

A lot of people seem to be curious about how this is possible. Breastmilk production is all about supply and demand. The breasts can continue to make milk indefinitely as long as there is a demand for it.

People also seem to be curious about how menopause might affect this. Pituitary glands are necessary in the production of breastmilk and menopause does not restrict the pituitary glands ability to function.

So, yes, even after menopause it is still possible to produce enough milk to nourish a baby.

Loving all of the conversation around this?! Aren't women's bodies just amazing?

We can do so many things that we didn't even know 😉
