On December 21st winter solstice ! I delivered my son at 9:11am weighing 9lbs 11ounces. Words can’t describe the feelings we all felt when Sagë emerged into this world.

I witnessed @londonbeloved give bearth to our golden child 🍯👼🏽💙 at home naturally in water. Her levels of strength, trust in herself, determination, fearlessness and preparation were all a strong reminder of why I believe that the melanin woman Is god. The godly energy of creation within the feminine body was an experience that will always inspire me for the rest of my life!

Cried tears of joy when I first laid my eyes on you BüBü.

I am still overwhelmed with joy & happiness.

You have no idea what my wife and I have been through to get to this point.

Appreciate all prayers and everyone who came together to bring forth this new soul.

Its hard for me to do anything other than be there for him, hold him, talk to him, smile at him, and give thankhs for him and to her.

Thankh you @londonbeloved

I am beyond grateful that what we hoped, prepared and prayed for all these past months - a beautiful, radiant, healthy, magical child - is now a reality.

To our son Sagë Akarï Wallace- Thank you for choosing and allowing me to be your father. It is a responsibility I cherish and will never take lightly. I can’t wait to be there for you every step of the way. I love you and appreciate you sooo much !! 💛💛💛 •

A reflection on birth in 2021

I’m writing a reflection paper on my first year as a student midwife for the purpose of comparing the differences in births and charting my personal growth. The goal is to look at the midwives model of care and decide how it plays into my ideas of midwifery practice. The biggest takeaway from this last year was from my last two births, a comparison between the two to be exact. 

One took place in the hospital, the momma flat on her back with doctors standing over her instructing her loudly how to do her job of delivering her child, counting for her until her face was purple as she pushed. Touching inside and outside of her body endlessly. Her baby was born into a room of loud noises and strong lights, into the hands of a stranger.

The next birth came days later, at a birth center attended by midwives. This momma was allowed to be in whichever position she wanted and she chose to stand/squat. As her pains told her the baby would come very soon, the midwives along with her husband and I sat on our knees around her. Silent. Supporting her as we believed she knew what to do to bring her baby into the world. With no hands but her own on her body, she delivered her child.

The differences between these births touched me in a special way. The first momma’s birth was what every TV show says birth should look like. It’s what I thought birth was supposed to be. Until my mind was changed this last year. Watching moms like the second one mentioned delivering their babies has been life altering. The difference is being pressured or being trusted. Hearing she’s not doing something well enough, or feeling the unmistakable calm of a mother’s personal responsibility to birth her child.

People standing over her, or people kneeling at her feet.

Every person in awe and reverence of what the female body can do, patiently awaiting the child of a family’s dreams.

If I ever have a choice in the matter, kneeling at the foot of the mother is where I want to be.

Birth is powerful. What if a provider's physical position could make a mother believe in her own power more fully?

For Megan’s first child, she planned to give birth in a birth center with her husband, doula and team of midwives. However, as is the nature of parenthood, the best laid plans can often go awry. In early labor, Megan transferred to the hospital where she had an unmedicated vaginal delivery. Her early postpartum phase was difficult – riddled with anxiety, sleep deprivation and feelings of grief, as she mourned the loss of her pre-baby self. Much of this she felt had to do with a lack of preparation and support for this time with a newborn. A little over a year later and expecting her second child, Megan was determined to prepare as best she possibly could for the birthing experience she had always wanted.

The Badass better known as Mother Nature

I was working on the delivery ward, it was a quiet shift without much to do. Then, a laboring woman came in together with her midwife. She had strong contractions, her labor had started a few hours earlier, a little before her due date. In the past couple of weeks, she had felt her baby move less three times before. She went for a hospital check up every time, and all was well every time. The last time only being the day before. The doctors talked about inducing her, but she hadn’t made up her mind just yet.

This woman was about to deliver her third child, and was kind enough to let me attend her birth along with her own midwife and the loving support of her husband, sister and mother in law. The birth of thirds can be a tricky one: I don’t know why, but they often are slower than second births (yet quicker than first babies, thankfully). But not this one. In what felt like no time, this mother gave birth to a healthy, beautiful baby.

While she held her newborn and kissed his little head, a little puddle of blood was forming on top of the mother’s stomach. At first, I thought it must be a little delivery-blood, as we so often see. But as both her own midwife and I weren’t quite sure, we decided to inspect the umbilical cord and saw that it had in fact torn! Thankfully, baby didn’t seem to notice and was completely fine.

Then, it was time to deliver the placenta. I was a little scared to pull because of the torn umbilical cord, but nature had my back and the placenta was born easily and without too much blood loss. As I always do, I inspected the placenta carefully while dabbing a piece of gauze to remove excess blood to improve my sight. While I was gently dabbing, I tore the placenta completely! Huge chunks of placenta came undone while I was simply stroking it. I had never seen anything like this before…

When I think about this afterwards there is only one explanation I can give: Nature is sacred and divine, and has her own ways way beyond our understanding. The reason why she had felt her baby move less probably had something to do with the fragile placenta and umbilical cord. But her body fixed this issue itself and labor started before things could go wrong. Hail, hail to a woman’s body!

Something that resonates with us ♡

[doulabyheart]

A favorite part of my work as a birth doula is getting to know my clients during our prenatal meetings. We linger over cups of tea as we chat. I get to know their pets. And I help them craft a birth plan. Whether it's a few bullets scribbled on a note card or a five paged type-written document, the PROCESS of creating the birth plan is so helpful. Also, then they have a clear outline and understanding of what they do want and what they don't want during their labor and birth. I can support my clients in those plans and they can just relax and focus on labor and welcoming their sweet baby. #northwales ⁣#babieswales #birthwithoutfear #empoweredbirth #hospitalbirth #labor #laboranddelivery #mentalhealth #momlife #motherhood #positivebirth #postpartum #waterbirth #womenshealth ⁣ #family #pregnancy #newborn #love #pregnancyannouncement #momtobe #pregnancylife #motherhood #wrexham ⁣ #cheshirelife #cheshire #northwest #cheshirebusiness ⁣ #mumlifeuk #cheshiremums ⁣#wrexhammums ⁣ (at Chester, Cheshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CorZwVXttl7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Lotus Birth

by Alysse

A lotus birth is a birth practice (and an option!) where the umbilical cord is not severed, it is left intact and attached to the baby. It is often wrapped and placed in a bowl and then the mother and child are left to bond. In 3- 10 days, the umbilical cord dries out and detaches from the baby. A benefit includes your baby receiving all the blood from the placenta. The idea is that you are honouring the connection between the baby and the placenta.

While there have been many studies on delayed cord clamping there have not been any studies on the effectiveness of leaving the cord untouched. Many people believe that leaving the cord intact creates a calmer entrance into the world for the baby. There are some cultures around the world where this is a typical birth practice, such as present-day Bali. Most monkeys and chimpanzees also do not cut or chew the cord, although many other animals do.

There are risks involved with having a lotus birth, such as a bacterial infection, so if you wish to have a lotus birth, please talk to your care provider. When it is practiced it is often during homebirths rather than hospital births, although it has been recently allowed in Australian hospitals.

If you do decide to have a lotus birth there are steps to take to help the placenta take longer to deteriorate. Immediately after the placenta is delivered it is placed in a bowl. After approximately an hour, the placenta would then be rinsed off, dried and then preservatives would put on it. The preservatives used are usually salt mixed with herbs. After the placenta has been preserved, it is wrapped in terrycloth or muslin. There are kits that can be bought that include the preservatives and linen-lined silk bags to carry the placenta in while waiting for it to detach.

If a lotus birth is chosen the placenta cannot be encapsulated or ingested. A lovely idea is to bury the placenta along with a tree, plant or annual flower to commemorate the birth of the baby.

[placentamom]

Reposted from @birthuprising At birth, ⅓ (or more) of your baby’s blood is still in the placenta. That means if you immediately cut the cord, your baby is missing A LOT of blood. If you were missing ⅓ (33%) of your blood, your heart and respiratory rates would increase, your blood pressure would drop, and you would become anxious and confused. If you lost 40% of your blood, all those symptoms would be worse and you would become lethargic. If you lost more than 40% you would die. So how long should you wait after birth to clamp the cord? Ideally you would “wait for white”. This means the cord isn’t clamped until it has stopped pulsing and turned white because all of the blood is now inside the baby. This is usually over 5 minutes (I’ve waited until the birth of the placenta with my two homebirths [about an hour]). But delaying cord clamping for even 60 seconds has been shown to have benefits including: 🔆 Increased hemoglobin 🔆 Increased iron 🔆 Increased blood pressure (early clamping means BP can be too low) 🔆 Increased urinary output 🔆 Increased body temperature (early clamping babies are colder) If baby is having a slower transition to breathing outside the womb upon their birth, keeping them attached to the cord will also continue to provide them with oxygen until they begin breathing on their own. Did you delay cord clamping with your babies? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #birthfacts #delayedcordclamping #dcc #waitforwhite #cordclamping #umbilicalcord #evidencebasedpractice #bornathome #newborn #nicu #nicubaby #nicumom #hospitalbirth #healthybaby #physiology #physiologicalbirth #postpartum #newbaby #newmom #birthplan #birthoptions #birthmatters #knowyouroptions https://www.instagram.com/p/CYic4d3LcOl/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s the power of ‘and’ instead of ‘or’. “I am sad and I am ready to keep going.” More from the wonderful and sage Britta Bushnell on Episode 16.
