✨What if we told women the truth about birth✨

We’d have to tell them that contractions will probably be more than “surges” or “sensations.”

That they’ll probably rock your f✨cking world and leave you begging for salvation as you clutch the edge of the tub or the hospital linens

That your gentle breathing exercises and your Spotify soundtrack will be left in the dust as you sweat and pant and sway and swear your way through it

That you’ll trip harder than any mushroom you ever did in college and vomit with the same ferocity and travel to places deep within yourself that you didn’t know existed. That you’ll float above your body and simultaneously be trapped in it with an intensity you’ve never tasted

And in that intensity, in the sweating and the swearing and the swaying and the vomiting and the endless hours of contractions crashing down upon you
You’ll find your strength
You’ll find a resilience you’ve never known
You’ll find the power you need for the journey of motherhood ahead

In the messy humanity of it all
You’ll find that you are holy
A portal to the divine
Capable of indescribable miracles
A vessel of sacred life

What if we told women the truth about birth?
We’d have to tell them they are capable of anything
Worthy of being treated like goddesses
Made to walk through the flames
Surf the tidal waves
Dive into the underworld
And come out alive

Not unscathed
Not unchanged
But whole
And healed
And ready to take on the world

If we told women the truth about birth
We’d have to admit that we’ve lied about everything else
And that they are more powerful
More fierce
More capable
More beautiful
Than we’ve ever let on.

If we told the truth about birth?
We’d shatter the world.”

SHE On The Tip Of Her Tongue

My intention here is to beam sunshine upon a solution for our stretched midwifery team. Also, I saw a post that ED staff aren't taking on any more additional shifts, they're exhausted. It's been a long few years for many ♥️

May a peaceful birth be available to every mama 🤱

May a risk analysis of the current mandates be actioned to save the amazing healers we currently have 🙏

To all concerned, Aotearoa midwifery has, for a number of years now, been in a state of crisis. The impacts of this are far reaching, for maternity consumers and their families and babies, for maternity staff in our hospitals and birthing units, for independent midwives, and for our society at large...

Our first baby's are so precious ✨ They facilitate the closure of our maiden journey to allow us to be born anew as mothers 💖

"There is a phase in labor, appropriately called transition, where a wahine will reach her breaking point. She'll feel as though she can't go on. She's right. The kōhine (maiden) in her is not strong enough for the task at hand. It's during this time the kōhine dies so that the wahine can be reborn as a māmā, with her pēpi. A new, more capable version of herself with far more strength than she has ever known. From Kōhine to Māmā."

PEACEFUL
🌼
"peaceful" is free from disturbances, peaceful is harmonious
🌼 I have heard a mama say "I just want to birth in peace"
🌼 Even if birth becomes noisy, (as it can do often) fast, jubilant, messy, busy ... it can still have an essence of harmonious synthesis, unison and goodwill
🌼 a peaceful basis that springs from love and connection
🌼 come, let me share with you how you achieve this ...

Hey beautiful hapu mama, are you loving in to the miraculous vessel of life you are? I dearly hope so 🌻

I've been so privileged to be with women as they open to motherhood through labour and birth. I adore watching a woman claim back and unleash her feminine power. We all have it in us! Unfortunately, negative conditioning from media, stories and well meaning loved ones can block this version of you.

I'm a midwife, a mama, a yoga teacher and hypnobirthing facilitator. I am so ready to share the hypnobirthing, relaxation and mindfulness programme with mamas such as you to help you feel in to your breathtakingly, beautiful birth.

Hypnobirthing mamas are simply free of fear. Your partner learns alongside you too so that they are fully on board so that you, dear mama, can get on with focusing on your incredible body and baby, loved, supported, held.

My vision is for babies to be born to empowered mamas, mamas that enjoyed the transformational process of stepping in to motherhood instead of fighting it or fearing it's power.

What a gift 💗

If you're expecting your greatest love to arrive September/October (or perhaps you love someone that is) my course starting Tue 14 June is perfect and waiting.

Please, gift your baby a peaceful birth, a positive birth that you will want to share for the rest of your life.

Come, come take a look ...

Some excerpts of NZ women's birth stories from 'Positive Birth in NZ, using Relaxation, Hypnobirthing, Mindfulness' book.

"I did not feel the need to ask for the gas; with the hypnobirthing techniques, I did not need it ... This was the greatest achievement of my life. I overcame a deep fear. Fear has been a re-occurring theme in my life so I am truly grateful to be able to overcome it ... This experience has opened my heart like no other" - Carol

"I had struggled to master the surge breathing during practice but managed to find a great rhythm during birthing. I am someone who suffers from anxiety and stresses out easily so I was a little unsure of how things would play out when it came to the big event, but at no point did I feel worry or panic in any way. It was wonderful to listen to my body and I honestly felt like I didn't need to stress because my baby and my body had taken over" - Alice

Dear mummy and daddy,

Keep this letter from me in a place where you can read it and re-read it when things are rough and you are feeling down.

Please don’t expect too much from me as a newborn baby, or too much from yourselves as new parents. Give us both six weeks as a birthday present, six weeks for me to grow, develop, mature and become more stable and predictable - six weeks for you to rest and relax and allow your body to get back to normal.

Please feed me when I am hungry, I never knew hunger in your womb and clocks and time mean little to me. Please hold, cuddle, kiss, touch, stroke and croon to me. I was always held closely in your womb and have never been alone before.

Please forgive me if I cry a lot. I am not a tyrant who was sent to make your life miserable, the only way I can tell you I am not happy is with my cry, bear with me and in a short time, as I mature, I will spend less time crying and more time socialising.

Please take the time to find out who I am, how I differ from you and how much I can bring to you. Watch me carefully and I’ll tell you things which sooth, console and please me.

Please remember that I am resilient and can withstand the many mistakes you’ll make with me. As long as you make them with love, I cannot be harmed.

Please don’t be disappointed when I am not the perfect baby you expected nor be disappointed with yourselves when you are not the perfect parents.

Please take care of yourself; eat a balanced diet, rest and exercise so that when we are together, you have the patience and energy to take care of me. The cure for a fussy baby is more rest for mum.

Please take care of your relationship with each other. What good is family bonding if there is no family left for me to bond with.

Please keep the “big picture” in mind. I’ll be like this for a very short time, though it may seem like forever for a time. Although I may have turned your life upside down, please remind yourselves that things will be back to normal before long.

Enjoy me – I’ll never be this little again!

7 billion human beings are living at this very moment 🤯 Birth truly does happen every minute. We are perfectly designed and supported to florish. Why then, are interventions and emergency births escalating so rapidly?!

How do you prepare to give yourself the best possible chance to birth as nature intended ...

I hold a kete of knowledge I'm bursting to share with you to help achieve exactly this. A safe, caring space to learn breathing techniques, visualisations, massage, self-hypnosis, mindfulness and understand your incredibly powerful body ... hypnobirthing.

During hypnobirthing classes, you learn and practice providing the most harmonious birthing body in readiness for the ecstatic challenges of labour. You will fully understand how your birthing muscles work in harmony with a flow of hormones to be as relaxed as possible.

💞 a relaxed body 💞
💞 a relaxed mind 💞

Sounds delicious doesn't it?! Let's get together and make your dreams a reality.

.
"Love is the priority of a sacred birth.
And love is the action of birth.
When the body resonates with love, tissues soften, thinning and opening.
The muscles act in their highest intelligence to move and turn the baby.
Hormones release in perfect timing.
Endorphins deliver to their full offering.
With love, all cells, tissues, organs and systems coalesce for birth."

- Sunni Karll, "Sacred Birthing: Birthing a New Humanity" via (I'm now a groupie of this incredible soul)

Thirty years ago, the Marie Mongan HypnoBirthing programme rewrote the language used in labour and birth.

language = words
words = vibration
vibration = energy
