Oxytocin: A Better Child-Birth - Family Clinic
Oxytocin also called the love hormone is secreted during hugging, love making, child birth, breastfeeding and the period after childbirth( bonding).
I chose the name cause it's got everything to do with my profession, and we cannot go without oxytocin.
About me: I come from a beautiful small town in the Boland where I was brought up calm, free and safe. My birth journey began when I was young and there were a lot of odds against me. Those years there were no antenatal classes or nothing to prepare you for birth. I also received a lot of attitude because of my age. I birthed natural but in government hospital. My son inspired me to want to do more in life and I went into a degree of nursing. In my third year we started with Midwifery and remember going home in awe with how beautiful we are designed, and how baby knows exactly how to come out. I finished my degree and became a midwife in a tertiary institution. All the high risk women were referred to us,
as well as complications and abnormal babies. I learnt all my medical skills their but always wanted to know and do more for women. In my spare time I went to natural birth conferences, seminars etc to learn about other methods that women want and to improve the care we offer. I had my daughter 11 years after my son, also natural birth private this time, but this time I was in control. I married a wonderful husband that is very supportive of what I do. I completed a Honours degree in Advance Midwifery and Neonatology, this made me competent in almost doing any type of birth. Our hospital was sometimes very full and theatre busy then people would come into labour with breech presentation, twins etc and nature would just take its course, I then mastered all these skills. I then heard about this big hype years back called hypnobirthing, with this technique women could have comfortable, relaxed almost pain free births. I did the course and it was the best thing I've ever done, I can see the difference it makes in women's lives and how easy they birth. I feel more blessed now that I'm seeing women privately, I can see the difference I'm making in their pregnancy and birthing because I’m allowing them to birth the way they choose. Give your baby the best start in life, by having a beautiful, calm, relaxed birth...My aim is to try and assist all women and give them a better experience..
