🤰✨ Are you embracing the holiday spirit with your birth clients? 🎄👶 .....OR.... 😩😥 Totally frazzled, having to provide even more support to help your clients navigate the "Christmas coercion" within maternity services? ❌ We hope it's the first but we know from experience that it is more likely to be the latter. It can feel overwhelming for doulas as well as the client at this time of year. Keep doing what you do brilliantly; educate your clients, remind them to openly discuss their birth preferences with their healthcare team and continue to be an advocate for trusting their body's natural rhythm. 💕 #DoulaNearMe #DoulaChristmas #BirthChoices #ChristmasMiracle #PatientAdvocacy"

The Genesis Birthing and Living Natural Birthing Philosophy: Pregnancy is not an illness needing to be monitored with fear, apprehension, and uncertainty. It is a process of nature needing only to be nurtured with factual information, support, and confidence. Labor is not a medical emergency that a family is incapable of experiencing or managing. Childbirth, naturally, is something no one else can do or experience for you. It is labor, and it is yours. Natural Childbirth then, is a commitment. It is a personal belief; a principle rooted in truth, faith, and prepared sacrifice. It does not falter at the threat of pain of the enticement of ease. It is resilient, and determined to succeed. Connecting you with the resources you need to birth like a Boss. ✍🏾 🎥 — @genesisbirthingandliving uses storytelling to help Black women give birth without trauma and shame even if they are statistically “at risk”.

'''Different Birth position Options''' When it comes to giving birth, there are various options available for expecting mothers to consider. From natural births to cesarean sections, each option has its own set of benefits and risks. It's essential for mothers to consult with their healthcare providers to determine the best birth position for their specific situation. Whether it's a water birth, home birth, or hospital birth, the most important thing is the safety and well-being of both the mother and the baby. https://buff.ly/3OYG7bN #BirthOptions #MaternalHealth

Birth Trauma Ontario’s original and continuing mission is to support mothers in their recovery from obstetric violence and its consequences of birth trauma as well as finding solutions that work. After 10 years and mountains of research, we know that the solutions will never come from within the medicalised maternity services industry. They’re not going to change. It’s our time now. No more pleading, begging, advocating, birth planning, whining, or complaining. It is what it is and they do what they do. The industry delivers absolutely terrible outcomes for birthing women. However, they also deliver competent medical care in medical situations, which is still needed When it comes to birth, we can do better ourselves. We are already doing better. If you want something better than what’s on the menu today, build a new restaurant, get a new chef, bring in some great food, call your friends, and embrace life in all its glorious sovereignty. We are going to see more babies arrive safely and gently from healthy, empowered, non-traumatised mothers. And it starts with us. #takingbackbirth #bringingbirthhome #sovereignbirth #sovereignty #sovereignfamily #faithinthefuture #itbeginswithus #wecandobetter #harriganhive #onlinecommunityforwomen #traditionalbirthcompanion #traditionalbirthattendant #amoreusefulhuman
