“In a news release about research on eating and drinking in labor, one researcher in the field said laboring people’s energy/calorie needs are similar to those of marathon runners.” 🍓💗🍇

In many hospitals, patients are told not to eat or drink during labor. Are these eating bans based on best evidence?

“I think this needs to be said healing mother.
You are becoming this type of parent not to control your child’s behavior, but because they deserve this type of kindness and compassion as they learn to become their own person. Which brings me to asking you, do you feel you extend the kindness and compassion to yourself that you do for your child?

When you’re experiencing challenging moments are you more judgmental and harsh on yourself than you’d be on others?
If so, practicing conscious/gentle parenting will trigger you in many ways:
1. Feeling inauthentic
2. Feeling you’re betraying yourself (your inner child’s needs)
3. Jealously and frustration

And many more. Understand that this type of practice becomes a LIFESTYLE when you choose to show up and be a conscious/gentle being for yourself FIRST.

If this is something you struggle with because you feel disconnected from your own emotional needs and how to show up for them”

Sign the petition 🙏🏽❤️ I’m all for the right to a gun, absolutely but something has to change to protect against those who want to harm our innocent babies

“Gun violence is tearing families and communities apart, and we urgently need Congress to put common sense gun control laws in place. Parents are mourning the children they lost. Teachers are shocked that active shooter drills turn into tragic reality. Students are forever traumatized after watching their peers killed. Siblings are missing their best friends at home.

There’s something deeply troubling when attack after attack on our schools, places of worship, and community institutions simply go on without any government response beyond thoughts, prayers, and soundbites on cable tv.

A right-wing racist gunned down ten community members in a Buffalo, NY supermarket.

The attack on a Taiwanese Presbyterian Church in Laguna Hills, CA was carried out with two legally purchased guns and bags containing incendiary devices and extra ammunition.

And the horrifying attack on Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX killed 19 students and two adults with weapons legally purchased by the teen shooter.

The gun homicide rate in the United States is 25 times higher than that of other developed countries. Congress must act to pass meaningful legislation immediately. Our families are under attack, and shouldn’t have to live in constant fear of our safety for one more moment.

We need basic protections to keep our children safe. It’s long past time for Congress to take bipartisan action to end these senseless shootings.”

Very interesting and sad to see that a well known midwife in the area would go such lengths to publicly discuss and calumniate an Afro Latinx midwife who had moved to VA out of state to serve this community.

It is my hope that such unprofessionalism will be recognized by the community as a whole, other birth workers, and especially those birthing people considering where to receive their midwifery care. How someone handles personal/business issues can be a window to what you may face during challenges or disagreements in care.

Let it be known and said that this kind of unprofessionalism, Facebook feuds, and drama is absolutely unacceptable. In the face of business challenges, such obstacles should and must be handled privately and directly. This is not the way.

Some midweek beauty for the many hills and mountains we trek and climb ⛰ if you’re feeling down or challenged, or just having a tough day, just remember: it won’t always feel like this. It won’t always be hard and you will conquer yet another mountain 🤎🫂

Keeping it simple and releasing the idea of control is one key step towards a positive birth experience. 🗝 Mentally prepare pre-conception, prenatally, prepare for after baby and just accept that you don’t know everything but know that you are CAPABLE of figuring it out as the challenge presents itself. Trust YOU. But beyond that, take actions that subconsciously confirm you are trustworthy, your body is trust worthy, your mind is trustworthy.

Whether you just want more information, new, or already on a journey for nonviolent parenting - please check out this podcast ❤️

In treating / disciplining our babies and children without violence we end generational cycles and trauma; we teach them what healthy love, protection, and safety truly is; and we teach them emotional intelligence and accountability for their actions.

We instill in them their true worth, value, and the fact that they are to be respected (& vice versa) - by everyone, young and old.

🧡🧡🧡
