Posted • The birth of Evelyn May Owen 🕊️✨🌙

6 days since I birthed our baby girl into the world, in the comfort of our home, with my love, my mum, our puppa, and our 2 incredible midwife’s Emma and Teena by my side holding space as I journeyed the realms of birth.

Born at 11.03am on the 21st of May after a 30 hour unmedicated, undisturbed, complete physiological birth, weighing 8.6pound, 51cm long ✨

Birthing life took me to a place beyond what l’ve ever known existed, a place that demanded the full surrender and handing over of my physical body to what felt like the entire pulse of the universe coarsing through me, opening me, while my spirit journeyed back and forth to some other place to collect our daughter.

Biggest shoutout to my mum and Luke who held the most incredible space as I laboured over 27 hours in our home, through day and night and day again, before we called our incredible midwives at team for the final stretch and delivery of our baby girl.

I cannot even articulate how empowering it was having a birth team around me that fully understands and advocates for physiological birth, trusting my body and baby completely, allowing and encouraging us to take our time, follow my bodies cues and looking me dead in the eyes and telling me I can, soul to soul, mother to mother when I felt like birth was bigger than me.

I believe it’s every woman’s birthright to be advocated for and to birth in this way- if this is what she chooses.

Birthing at home healed and empowered the deepest parts of me as a mother and as a woman. 🕊️

And in the famous words of my midwife Emma..

‘This isn’t bigger than you, this IS you. You’re already doing it, and you’re doing amazingly, now keep going’ 😭

Posted • The Cochrane review on midwife continuity of care models versus other models of care for childbearing women has been updated.

The results show that midwifery continuity of care leads to better outcomes than any other model (Sandall et al 2024).

Evidence from 17 studies involving 18,533 randomised women shows that women/babies who received midwife continuity of care were:

Less likely to experience a caesarean or instrumental birth (forceps or ventouse suction cup).

Maybe less likely to experience an episiotomy.

More likely to experience spontaneous vaginal birth.

More likely to report positive experiences during pregnancy, labour, and postpartum.

As the authors write:

Continuity contributes to patient perceptions of having a trusted care provider who knows their social and medical history and harnesses an expectation that a known provider will care for them in the future, lessening stress and anxiety (Haggerty 2003; Kildea 2018; Parchman 2004; Rayment‐Jones 2022). This longitudinal aspect develops a trusting relationship between women and their midwives. It enables midwives to work to their full scope of practice across women’s care journeys, improving their ability to identify women’s individual needs and providing a safety net (Cook 2000; McInnes 2020; Rayment‐Jones 2020).

💫 Discharge Day 💫
When 6 weeks comes around and it’s time to say goodbye, there are both sad and joyous feelings. Sad that our journey together has come to an end (for now 😉) and joyous feelings of how they have evolved as a confident mum. Trusting their instincts and knowing their little one, and their quirks 🙃
Today I said goodbye to Courtney and Reggie, and Christina and Joseph. Both boys were born a day apart and have grown so much over the past 6wks. Thank you for trusting me to support you on your motherhood journey, it has been a pleasure caring for you 💜
