When we think about birth now a days, we’re met with induction, interventions to sp*ed labor up for the convenience of others, pain management, etc. rarely is the actual physiological aspects of labor often talked about or even taught in preparation for labor.

We ask ourselves, why can animals give birth the way they’re supposed to but not us. I understand interventions for medical reasons and for the safety of the birthing person & baby. But when things are absolutely normal?

When animals go into labor, the hide. They isolate and find some place safe to birth. We don’t bother them, we don’t disrupt their natural birthing process. Unless there’s a medical reason or for the safety of others. In order for us to birth, we need safety. We need the oxytocin hormone for labor to continue and begin.

If an animal feels threatened they tense up. The birthing process is interrupted.

If we feel threatened in labor, we tense up, adrenaline pumps and our natural oxytocin decreases, Resulting in stopped labor. In this sense, providers will “sp*ed things up” with synthetic oxytocin. Pitocin.

I cannot stress how important it is to feel safe in labor. To let our bodies birth how they are meant to. How to avoid these unnecessary interventions unless at the risk of safety of birthing person & baby.

WAYS TO SHORTEN YOUR LABOR PART 1:

Use a birth ball during and between contractions!

Using a birth ball before and even during your labor is so beneficial. Not only does it let gravity so it’s thing, but it OPEN up the pelvis to allow baby to descend.
This along with some counter pressure?? GOLDEN ✨

Have an epidural? No worries! Using a peanut ball gives the same opening of the pelvis but still allows you to rest.

It’s breast cancer awareness month! Do you know how to do a self exam?

This can be done in the shower, laying down or in front of a mirror.
Using the flats of your fingers, lightly check the breast/armpit area using light pressure & circular motions. Check both breast for lumps, knots or any thickness & breast changes! 

Check those bo***es ladies!

Mine is A3(1 too hard to choose)F(H close second) 5 !

What about you?!

Can I just say:
It really irritates me when pregnant woman are misinformed into believing their babies are “measuring big” and are pushed to believe they require an induction without any further medical cause?

💥Babies measuring too big is a MYTH💥

FACT: Ultrasounds cannot determine weight of a baby in utero. They are wildly inconsistent and inaccurate.

This concept is inferencing that the baby that your body and your placenta is building will somehow provide you some stock baby that will outgrow you and your body....... and your placenta is building YOUR baby. Not a one-size-fits-all-moms baby.

Have you ever heard the doctors say ”mmm you’re 3cm , 50% effaced & -2 station?

You’re probably thinking, what the heck is station?!
Station of baby during labor is how high of low the baby is in your pelvis. The higher they are, is negative. the lower and more descended into your pelvis they are, is positive.

Things you can do to get baby more engaged is sitting on a birthing ball, doing some hip circles!
Also just even sitting upright in a thrones position if you have an epidural works.

Gravity works in your favor for this ✨

"Training"⠀
⠀
Night waking is biologically normal. Night weaning does not ensure no wake ups. Sleep training does NOT ensure a good sleeper.⠀
⠀
Sleep is a biological function, it cannot be forced. Just as if someone sat you on the toilet and demanded you p*e right then.⠀
⠀
"Just give him rice cereal before bed. He's almost 3 month's, he'll be fine."⠀
⠀
"Put them in bed, close the door, don't go back in until morning."⠀
⠀
"If they are so upset they throw up, go in and change the sheets. Don't make eye contact or speak to them."⠀
⠀
"She's getting too used to being comforted every time she wakes."⠀
⠀
"Get out of the house when you put him in his crib, this way you won't hear his cries."⠀
⠀
"Let them cry, they're just manipulating you."⠀
⠀
Complete. And. Utter. BS.⠀
⠀
Not to mention, DANGEROUS.⠀
⠀
And many women believe that their baby, that only wakes a few times a night for nourishment and/or comfort, has a problem that needs to be solved.⠀
⠀
Waking frequently is a protective measure against SIDS, and also helps to maintain breastfeeding. ⠀
⠀
It's expected that they need feeds throughout the night. (Have you ever doubled your weight within a few months before? Or had rapid brain development and growth, so much so that you can't even rest?)⠀
⠀
It's unrealistic to expect babies to sleep BETTER than adults. ⠀
⠀
Why do we need studies, and facts, and statistics to show how it is or is not damaging. How it is or is not ok to hold your baby to sleep, nurse your baby to sleep, rock your baby to sleep.⠀
⠀
What happened to following our instincts? What happened to parenting from and following what you feel is right and good in your heart?⠀
⠀
If you need to p*e, do you wake? If you need to adjust the covers, do you wake? Do you wake when you're thirsty, had a bad dream, need to roll over?⠀
⠀
Let's normalize normal behaviors.⠀
⠀
Babies and children don't have sleep problems.⠀
⠀
Society has expectation problems.⠀
⠀
Needing comfort isn't a problem that needs to be fixed. It's part of being human.
