April is cesarean awareness month🌸

1/3 women in the U.S. birth their babies by major abdominal surgery and statistically, more than half of cesareans are unnecessary and/or preventable. This is unacceptable. As much as I love empowering mothers to make their own decisions, I can’t ignore that cesarean birth is not ideal for mothers and babies when the opportunity for a vaginal birth exists, which is the majority of the time. Babies should make the journey through the birth canal for their health and safety. The perineum literally squeezes fluid out of baby’s lungs on the way out. Bathing in mom’s vaginal flora gives baby’s gut microbiome the best start. It’s all so intricately designed by our Creator.

I will always advocate for and teach the importance of vaginal birth. But sometimes a cesarean is needed. And for that, we can be grateful for it🫶🏼

As someone who has walked the path of an unplanned, traumatic cesarean, one of my goals in my work is to help parents prevent the need for cesarean delivery through education, support and advocacy.

What’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen?
Me: just my dear friend freebirthing her baby into her husband’s arms with nothing but love, gratitude, and the Holy Spirit in the room. Top it off with a gender surprise - her first girl after 3 boys - and I’m just a puddle of tears 🥲

Words can’t explain the gratitude I feel to be invited into these spaces - the closest to Heaven on earth I’ll ever be here.

The cutest vernixy little buns😍 Vernix Caseosa is the white creamy substance on baby’s skin that offers a number of benefits when left on and rubbed in after birth!

Delaying bathing and keeping vernix on baby’s skin will:

🦠 Provide antimicrobial protection to baby’s skin. Vernix is rich in amino acids and protects baby from harmful bacteria and pathogens.

💦 Moisturize and hydrate the skin. Vernix smoothes the transition from an environment surrounded by fluid to the dry air by protecting baby’s skin from dehydration and cracking.

🌡️ Help regulate baby’s body temeperature along with lots of skin-to-skin with parents.

🧼 Act as a skin cleanser and antioxidant.

It’s common practice for doctors and nurses to immediately wipe off baby’s vernix after birth, but let your provider know beforehand that you would like to leave it on. This is a great item to add to a birth plan! But you’ll likely still have to enforce it in the moment.

Even though American hospitals have held onto many outdated practices, professional groups like the World Health Organization and the National Association of Neonatal Nursing actually recommend leaving it on.

When Jesus came, it wasn’t peaceful. An inconvenient trip, a poorly timed labor, a less than desirable location, no midwife or doula. Just a young couple suddenly thrust into welcoming new life amidst the shifting of hooves and rustling of hay.

Can you imagine the urgency - the fear - when Mary told Joseph, “I think it’s time”? and yet another innkeeper tells them, “we don’t have any room.” It wasn’t supposed to happen like this. He is the Messiah.

But there in that stable amidst the darkness of the lengthening shadows, perfect light was born. Amidst the cries of pain, fear, chaos and uncertainty, our peace was born.

This Christmas may find you in an imperfect place. Situations that are outside our control, an empty seat, a broken heart. It’s not supposed to be this way - it’s Christmas!

But this is the Christmas He came for.

He came to rescue us from the hurt, the fear, the chaos and unmet expectations. He came to hold us in our grief, give us hope of Heaven, comfort us in the uncertainties and sit with us in our loneliness.

He came to shine His light in the darkest of corners, to bring peace to a broken world. He came to give the gift that we’re all searching for - that is what Christmas is about.

-Katie Calabrese

As the season of Christmas unfolds, we’re reminded of the beauty of hope and the gift of life.

Whether you’re welcoming new life into the world, healing from loss, or supporting others in their journeys, may you find moments of peace, joy, and love during this holy season. As a mother, you are a vessel for something truly special—the miracle of life.

May your holiday season be filled with blessings, and may your heart be as full as the manger was on that sacred night.

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11
