I highly encourage midwives to learn more about this. If you aren’t familiar with Dr Small’s work, check out her website!

Only 1 week away before Midwife Jannie gets her online course and tech feet wet... (Hoping it goes off with not too many tech gremlins attending 😉)

If you know that you want to mother with connection and empathy, but feel triggered when parenting gets hard (which it does... frequently), and you want to respond, rather than react in those moments, and also want the support (because you are NOT alone...), then this is for you... Hope to see you there 🥰 Check out the link in the comment for more information.

Midwife Jannie is soon testing a new 4-week-long free course, made to support mothers beyond the baby phase, and would love you to join. You’ll get practical tools to reset your nervous system, and recognise your triggers. It’s bite-sized, practical, and designed for real life. Please feel free to share with anyone it might resonate with. More info in link in first comment.

The mind boggles at how this coersive escalation process is accepted.

Sadly I’ve had way too many women with previous traumatic experiences crying on my couch about this and wanting a better experience. It’s often wrapped in a bow of “politeness”. No means no. But also not offering alternatives is just as bad. Midwives there are ways of dealing with this in the workplace (not in front of the woman of course). This behaviour is against our professional and ethical standards. Show up as your most excellent self. Lead the way and have the courageous conversations with your colleagues. 🙏🏻

Thanks to resources like the Great Birth Rebellion women are wising up and expecting better. Listen, join the mailing list and share with your colleagues. We have a long way to go but let’s do this 🔥 If you need more support find a good mentor.🫶🏻
