To the ones who drop everything in a moment’s notice, the ones that stay up all night and work all day, the ones who fiercely protect the physiology of birth, who witness and support transformation with both strength and tenderness, the midwives who laugh, and cry, and carry so much wisdom… Thank you for all that you do! You are not invisible and your work matters more than words can say. Thank you for all that you do!

INTERNATIONAL MIDWIVES DAY

Choosing midwifery means choosing to show up again and again for some of the most sacred, vulnerable moments in a person's life. It means carrying the weight of those moments long after the birth. The births that took your breath away and the ones that broke your heart, and somehow coming back to do it all again.

It is not just a job. It is a privilege and a calling in equal measure.

To every midwife: thank you for choosing this. The world is truly better because you did.

An important part of hydration is minerals and electrolytes. It’s not just about getting enough water in your day.

When it comes to electrolytes and pregnancy, these minerals are crucial for you and your baby. Electrolyte needs increase during pregnancy; here’s how to get enough in your diet.

It's moments like these that offer a reflection, a reminder of the true sense of joy and gratitude this calling brings. The time invested, the sacrifices made, the shared joy, and sometimes tears that come with walking families down this path. What an honor it is to do this work❣️ I've had a hand in caring for all of these children on some level over the years. It's a beautiful thing to hold these deeper relationships with families.

Unless there is a rare emergency, the timing of cutting the cord is always the parents choice. The average time in this practice ranges from 20-60 min.

This cord is still full of blood.

Blood that belonged to the baby.

Blood that was meant to finish transfusing back into the newborn after birth.

Instead, it was cut short.

The placenta and cord hold up to ⅓ of a baby’s total blood volume.

That blood carries oxygen, iron, stem cells, and immune support that the baby is supposed to receive in the first minutes of life.

When a cord like this is clamped too early, that transfusion is interrupted.

And the baby simply loses it.

The question we should be asking is: Why are we still rushing the one transfusion every newborn is born waiting for?

This blood belongs to the baby!

Not rushed systems.

Not protocols.

Not “this is how we’ve always done it.”

Not “30 seconds is long enough.”

Imagine interrupting someone’s blood transfusion after 30 seconds and calling it ‘standard practice.’

Babies need their blood!

There is so much about delayed cord clamping we still have yet to learn.
