A treasured gem, this project is my absolute favorite work my kiddos do at school in Kindergarten. My feral sweet Mama girl Maple Jean is growing and full force trying my patience as a gentle parent. I have to work hard to recognize my triggers and show empathy when she comes at me like a bat outta hell. Her teacher mentioned the other day how delicate and feral she is at any given moment. I’m lucky to have these educators in my children’s lives. She’s a force to be reckoned with and I wouldn’t change the human she is blossoming into for anything in the world. My fierce, independent, kind, Mama bear, baby Maple is no longer that little squishy baby. She grown and she will remind you of her capabilities in a split second. May the people who cross paths with this incredible human know that she will change the world one day. I’m so lucky to be her Mom.

This is Flying Cowgirl (can we rename this please?! siiiiiiigh) Anyway- this position opens the brim or top of the pelvis from front to back. The p***c bone shifts when tilted away from the spine, creating more room for baby to drop into the pelvis and progress descent + dilation. This position is usually used in bed with a peanut ball between the laboring person’s legs, but you can adapt it to work in the water too! (If you’ve got a wide enough birthing tub to work with- sans peanut ball of course 🤪) Go Birther, go!!

✨ It’s all about that space ✨

This.

Walk into a room while I am supporting a birth and you might think that I am just sitting there doing nothing. I won’t be talking. I won’t be touching the client. I won’t be using anything in my bag.

So what am I doing exactly?

🪑 Watching mom’s breathing and sometimes breathing loudly alongside her to remind her to slow down her breath

🪑 Scanning mom’s body during the contraction to make sure that she isn’t holding any tension

🪑 Monitoring the temperature and lighting to create the peaceful environment that she desires

🪑 Calculating how long it has been since she emptied her bladder

🪑 Thinking about how long she has been in her current position and thinking about the next position that she might try

🪑 Timing contractions to see if they are longer, stronger and closer together

🪑 Thinking about when mom and her partner last had a snack

🪑 Reviewing her preferences to make sure that everything is going according to her plan

🪑 Giving the couple space to connect on an intimate level (allowing for oxytocin) and/or guiding the partner to be the lead support

🪑 Updating notes and capturing labor flow

Sometimes just being fully present is enough. Sometimes just knowing I am there in close proximity is all mom needs to be able to relax and focus on what she needs to do. Sometimes just holding space for them in an unbiased manner allows for a noticeable shift in the energy of the room.

And the list goes on….

💭Did you know that your breasts are never empty?

▫️Even after a successful feeding, a baby tends to remove only 70% of the available milk.

▫️Your body is constantly producing milk. In fact, after you pump or feed, it just takes about 30 minutes to an hour for your breasts to refill. (Exactly how long it takes to refill will be unique to your body as well as how often you’re feeding your little one).

▫️Also: the more frequently you drain your breasts, the more milk you make!

“Your breasts are like a river, always flowing”. -Unknown
