Repost from @momdocpsychology⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Repost from @momdocpsychology⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I loved her from the moment I saw her. I laid her on my chest and I wept. She was perfect. More perfect than I ever could have imagined. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I wept tears of joy and relief. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I wept tears of gratitude and sorrow. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was worn down. Beat up. Exhausted. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was thankful. Overjoyed. Fulfilled. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bringing my daughter into the world was the hardest and most rewarding experience. My birth did not go as planned or intended. Everything went wrong, yet it all went so right. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At my 41 week check up, my NST suggested my little babe was showing signs of distress. We were instructed to check in to OB triage for further evaluation. Before we knew it, I was admitted into L&D. I was induced and reached the max dosage of pitocin with very minimal signs of labor. I had very light contractions, but the monitor suggested otherwise. 8 hours had gone by since we were admitted. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “We need to break your water.” ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These were the next words that we heard from an on-call doctor whom we’ve never met until he uttered those words. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To read the rest of my story on my blog, please click the link in my bio…⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I wish I could share it all here, but it is much too long for an IG caption. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My baby is 16 months old now. It has taken me 16 months to write out my story, from start to finish. I’ve processed it a lot. I’ve done a lot of work around it. I’ve prayed a lot. And I feel overwhelmingly grateful for the peace that rests in my heart around my entire experience. For far too long, I let others determine how I should and shouldn’t feel about my story.
These poignant words from a student midwife really These poignant words from a student midwife really bring home the cultural changes that must happen if midwifery is to survive and thrive in the way women and birthing people need it to.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "I’m not a midwife yet, I’m in my final year of training. I’ve been thinking for the past few years about what I should write my dissertation on, about various things that affect women, babies and their families and what I could write about. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "We were told to write about what stuck out to us in practice, what we noticed and what interested us about midwifery, and what repeatedly stuck out to me wasn’t certain aspects of midwifery but the midwives themselves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Throughout my training many of the young midwives, some of whom have been midwives for less than 18 months, left midwifery. All of these midwives were women that I looked up to, that were passionate about care, knowledgeable and most of all incredibly compassionate and empathetic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "All of them seemed to share feelings of guilt with leaving the profession, and many of them expressed feelings of wishing to continue to be midwives."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Read the full blog here:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://doitlikeamother.co.uk/like-a-soldier-going-into-battle/ #childbirth #birthstory #breastfeeding #newborn #postpartum #midwife #birthisbeautiful #pregnant #babybump #momtobe #maternity #preggo #pregnantbelly #bump #babybelly #pregnantlife #thirdtrimester #mumtobe #motherhood #instababy #babyontheway #9months
Seriously. OUR OVARIES.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Seriously. OUR OVARIES.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Siblings. If you are a first time parent, it's OK to want your child to be an only child. It's totally OK to want more. And equally, it's fine to be on the fence. Whether you've always wanted multiple children or have thought that a single child is the path for you, don't worry what others say - there's no problem if you want to backtrack. Your experience, your babies are UNIQUE. Stand your ground and know it's OK whatever you choose. You have a LIFETIME.

How prepared do you feel as a first time parent?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m going to guess… probably not very. You might have bought all of the things you can think of or you might have the bare minimum. You might have read all the books you can get your hands on or you might not have even picked up a leaflet to skim over. Either way, you’re probably not quite feeling like you’re ready to become a parent and either way… you’re not alone.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s a little secret- no one ever really feels ready. No one ever really knows what they’re doing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I remember when I was pregnant, everyone thought I’d know exactly what I was doing because I was a midwife. But I can tell you that despite a degree in ‘how to grow a baby, birth a baby and look after a baby’- I still had no clue when it came to my own baby.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And that’s ok. It’s ok to feel unprepared, it’s ok not to know everything. The thing is, our babies are just as unique and individual as we are. What works well for one baby, won’t work well for another.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So for any first time parent out there feeling like you’re all at sea, don’t worry. Do whatever reading/ research/ classes you want to in order to get yourself slightly grounded but then for the rest of it, just have a little faith. Have a little faith in that small inner voice that knows you’ve got this. Don’t let it be drowned out by all of the external voices telling what to do and how to do it. Do it your way and you and your baby will reap the rewards.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Chloe x
