As many as one in three women in the UK are traumatised by their birth experiences, and one in 25 of those will go on to develop full-blown PTSD

Dear new mother,
The postpartum period is very very hard. If your baby is inconsolable and you get angry and frustrated, it doesn’t mean you are a bad mother. It doesn’t mean you don’t love your child. It just means you need support, understanding, and help.

Delayed cord clamping...Did you know you have a say? Do you know why it’s important?

Delayed cord clamping...Did you know you have a say? Do you know why it’s important?

How’s this umbilical cord 😊 this is 4 minutes after birth, still pumping with blood, big and juicy. Some care providers say delayed cord clamping is 1 minute, but look at this cord still facilitating a placental transfusion. All this wonderful cord bliss being delivered to baby. There is a good reason they say ‘wait for white’ so the cord is completely drained before cutting it. 📷

I couldn’t love this more!

This Dr. was AMAZING! Baby was face up and Dr. was not able to turn the baby, which is pretty uncomfortable/painful. Instead of going straight to a c-section like most others do he tried everything else to help this mama deliver naturally.⁣ Louisiana Women's Healthcare Associates Birth Center of Baton Rouge

⁣ This position here is called “Towel Pull or Tug of War”. When a contraction comes, you pull on the towel, curl your back forward, and pull your knees back and apart as far as you can, so you are making a C shape curved around your uterus. It sounds like a lot of effort but it really works! you see those bars under moms legs those are also great for helping with pushing, called the “row boat”. Don’t think only lying down is your only option in a hospital! Find amazing Drs. Like this that will help do it all!! Melanie TheDoc McHenry-LeBlanc

** EDITED TO ADD- You know you went viral when you have to have one of these 🤷🏼‍♀️!! I do many many c sections and love and praise all my section moms! Sections are actually one of my favorite births to attend. If you go and read the moms that had to have sections on here I praised them for being so strong for having a cesarean and how amazing they are because birth is birth no matter how it comes it will be hard and beautiful! I will never think any of my section moms as giving up! I simple love trying everything else first to avoid a major surgery! No birth is giving up!
