Here is another example that the mainstream medical system is broken...

Round-the-clock fetal monitoring leads to unnecessary C-sections. But it’s used in nearly every birth because of business and legal concerns, The Times found.

Edited to clarify: Most breech births go smoothly without need of intervention. This is a simulation of a mom on her hands and knees. The baby is not doing well and the head is extended and stuck on the p***c bone and arms above the head. A very RARE situation and that's why we practice, just in case we are ever presented with this scenario.

Jami and I at Breech Without Borders hands on skills. We learn for head down births how to get a baby out when they are stuck. You need specific skills to help a Breech baby out who gets hung up in some way and needs help. Your midwives at HHH and Nativiti Family Birth Center are prepared for what comes your way. I do some sort of advanced skills class every year to keep current and my skills where they should be.

At another breech birth training today in Dallas, it is important to keep your skills sharp.

My latest She Is article, I hope you like it.

The fourth trimester is real and it is rough. Healing, hormones, sleepless nights, and an identity shift nobody warns you about. My newest SHEis.com article breaks down what this season really looks like and how mothers can find their way back to themselves.

Fast and furious but the midwives made. We were not Fast enough for the pool though. I loved how he prayed over his wife and baby and then recieved their baby into his strong capable hands. She felt loved and cared for. She is amazing, strong, and really great birthing these babies.

They thought they were fine at two, but then two more in two years. She is powerful and strong. He is with her every step of the way. I was privileged to see them become parents, growing and thriving as their family grows. Shout out to Devynn LeeAnn Photography!

Congratulations to this amazing family. Her third birth with me. (Little/big sister is taking a nap and not to be woken) It was everything she wanted and I couldn't be more happy for her. First babies are just unexpected, second babies are so different from the first, we are caught off guard. The third we are ready for and have a plan. She caught her own baby in her loving arms. Beautiful. Welcome to Mary Ellen our newest birth assistant. She is loving birth and has such a big heart. Welcome to HHH.

Such a sweet birth. Exactly what she wanted. Peace and calm and filled with love. Feeling very blessed to share this experience with this family.

Such a sweet and empowering birth. I loved their teamwork. They were so connected through the whole process and very in tuned to reach other. He was her champion and protector. It's really difficult to watch the person you love more than anything to work so hard and not be able to fix it. So you have to stay steady for her to lean on. It was beautiful to witness and I thank you you for allowing us to walk this journey with you.

I love this family. She makes birth look easy. She doesn't know it yet, but we are going to be quilting buddies in the future. 😆
