Moms your midwife will give you exercises to help baby turn or help baby during labour to turn. Ocipital posterior babies are born normally as well...but moms will tell you the baby labour is no joke...

🥚 SUNNY SIDE UP BABY 🥚

• Can cause longer, more painful labor 😣
• Increased risk of back labor 💥
• Sometimes needs special delivery or C-section 🏥

💡 Many babies rotate naturally with guidance from your healthcare provider.

Big congratulations are in order for the newly qualified Doulas🥳 Now this photo does contain some already qualified ladies like Bernice and Lauren, and me...but congrats to all of you ladies ( not just those in the photo). Doulas complete a course, attend births, write an exam and have a yearly Registration with their regulating body. Here is to me and the other midwives looking foward to having these lovely Doulas working with us at births.

✂️ 10 C-SECTION RECOVERY TIPS ✂️

1️⃣ Rest as much as possible – Let your body heal, even in short naps 🛌
2️⃣ Walk gently – Short walks prevent blood clots and aid digestion 🚶‍♀️
3️⃣ Eat balanced meals – Protein, fiber, and hydration speed up recovery 🥗💧
4️⃣ Take pain meds as prescribed – Don’t endure unnecessary pain 💊
5️⃣ Support your incision – Hold a pillow when coughing or laughing 🤗
6️⃣ Avoid heavy lifting – Give your core and incision time to heal 🪑
7️⃣ Wear comfortable clothes – Soft, loose clothing avoids irritation 👚
8️⃣ Monitor for infection – Redness, swelling, or unusual discharge? Call your doctor ⚠️
9️⃣ Practice gentle pelvic floor exercises – When approved, help regain strength ⚡
🔟 Accept help – Let family and friends assist with baby care and chores ❤️

✨ C-section recovery takes patience—small steps every day lead to healing!
