We love this, but if you don’t, we’ll totally go with you and hold the baby or stay home with them so you can enjoy some well-earned silence!

When they reach up and hold your hand 🥰 What is your favorite thing your baby did while eating or falling asleep?

Sometimes… I crave that first night in the postpartum room.

Not the pain.
Not the exhaustion.
Not the fear.

But that moment when the world felt like it paused.

The lights were low.
The room was quiet.
And it was just me and my baby, still brand new to the world, still wrapped in hospital blankets and smelling like heaven.

Everything hurt, but everything felt right.

I was sore, swollen, and stunned.
But also completely in awe.

There was a stillness in that room that I can’t explain.
Like time slowed down so I could memorize the shape of their face.
Like nothing else mattered but the rise and fall of their tiny chest beside me.

It wasn’t glamorous.
It wasn’t easy.
But it was sacred.

And sometimes, I find myself chasing that feeling again, The quiet magic of a brand new beginning.

"Midwifery models of care are models of care in which the main care providers for women and newborns, starting from pre-pregnancy and continuing all the way through the postnatal period, are educated, licensed, regulated midwives who autonomously provide and coordinate respectful, high- quality care across their full scope of practice, using an approach that is aligned with the midwifery philosophy of care, which:

i. promotes a person-centred approach to care;
ii. values the woman–midwife relationship and partnership;
iii. optimizes physiological, biological, psychological, social and cultural processes; and iv. uses interventions only when indicated.
In midwifery models of care, midwives provide integrated care, addressing the needs of each individual woman and newborn, within functional and enabling health systems, equipped with necessary resources and streamlined consultation and referral processes. They collaborate within networks of care as part of interdisciplinary teams characterized by equality, trust and respect. This approach guarantees that every woman and newborn receives personalized care, tailored to their health needs.

Midwifery models of care are adaptable to all levels of care and contexts, including home-, community- and hospital-based settings; the public and private sectors and public–private partnerships; resource-constrained environments; and humanitarian and crisis settings. This ensures wide accessibility, equity and relevance across different cultural contexts for women, newborns, partners, families and communities."
