I saw a mother with a newborn on the plane and I could see she was struggling. Should I tell her it’s ok to nurse to comfort her crying baby? What if she wasn’t supported that way and I made her feel bad because she feeds formula? I guess I’ll just smile at her and let her know it’s ok the baby cries - it doesn’t bother me or my girls. The flight attendant told her she’s in the easiest part of parenting. I’m not sure that’s accurate. It’s true; parenting constantly changes. It doesn’t really get “easier”. But they do eventually sleep. Eventually, you accept the term “mother”. I am a mother. It is the hardest and the most amazing thing I have ever done. I tried to tell her this - even though it doesn’t get easier, the transition eventually comes. Eventually we complete the matresence, the evolution into motherhood and that makes things just a little easier. But it’s certainly a journey, and it’s not over in 6 weeks, 3 months — there’s no time limit. Personally, I think it took me at least 5 years to truly accept my new role as a mother. It doesn’t mean the girls were neglected in that time or I didn’t “mother”, but the mental shift from maiden to mother takes as long as it takes. And that is just not easy. But eventually we make the transition, and that feels good. (P.s. I think if we had better support and more #community it wouldn’t need to take so long, but this is the reality of our current culture. I hope we continue to demand better.) #motherhood #mothering #matresence #motherjourney #maidentomother #doula #postpartum #postpartumdoula

Partners practicing hip squeezes, massage, and communication in the comfort measures section of Resilient Birth Prep yesterday. 💕 We talked a lot about movement and keeping the pelvis free to open and allow the baby to work through. 💕 What’s best for birth is NOT what you have seen through popular media! When possible, get off your back and just keep moving.
💕Come to the next session May 5 or private classes are always available!

💫 New Research published this month in Acta Paediatrica (113: 199-205) suggests that 90 minutes of skin to skin after birth can lead to higher rates of exclusive breastfeeding at 60 hours, 6 weeks, 10 weeks, and 14 weeks of age. Many providers are eager to start newborn exams by an hour post birth, but this research suggests we might want to advocate to delay exams even longer if at all possible (sometimes it’s just not feasible so it’s ok to start skin to skin time WHENEVER you can, there’s always a benefit). This is something you might want to consider for your birth plan! Learn more about setting yourself up for breastfeeding success at the Prepare Your Nest class February 10 with @mamabirdhendry and at Resilient Birth Prep February 18. If you’ve already given birth, were you able to delay your newborn exams to focus on skin to skin with your baby?

Do you know anything about your family’s home birth history? 11 out of 12 of my great grandma’s children were born at home (the children pictured here!).
.
It really hit me last night how wild it is that in TWO generations, the thousands of years+ legacy of birthing with other women in our own environment was lost (like, literally all of human history before this!!!!). Generation after generation called for the midwife or whomever was the most experienced woman around, and then POOF, that has mostly disappeared for so many (it was actually a drawn out takeover of midwifery by the medical world, but in all of history, a very short time period).
.
I don’t want to glamorize or gloss over the complications that could have been seen without backup emergency provisions and when sanitation was less on the mind, but clearly we aren’t doing so well with the current over-medicalization of birth either. Our rates of morbidity and mortality and birth trauma are so disappointing, especially for the BIPOC community.
And the research keeps panning out that for low-risk birthers, home is as safe as hospital with a lot less risk of major interventions, and a much higher satisfaction rate. Although people who are choosing home birth are still quite the minority, I am glad that the legacy of home birth carries on for some, and I hope it continues to gain traction as a safe and evidence-based option as we move forward.
.
I wish I could ask my great-grandma: who was this midwife? How did she arrive at your home? How did she know when to come? How far away did she live? How did she acquire her skills? Sure wish I could ask her!
