Repost @douladianne ・・・ Mid-contraction! It's absolutely incredible what a woman's body does in labor to birth her baby...SO strong! Yes, this woman works hard to keep her body in shape...and it's a good thing because she needed a lot of strength to push out her 9lb baby! (Photo taken two hours before birth at 7cm!) . . . #midwife #midwifery #midwifical #midwives #midwifelife #midwivesrock #feministmidwife #midwiferycare #midwivesmakeadifference #midwivesmatter #thankyoumidwife #lifeofamidwife #labor #birthmatters #thebirthhour #thebirthfemmes #bumptobaby #birthgoddess #childbirth #pregnantbelly #birthbecomesher #birthphotogs #birthwithoutfear #fitpregnancy #naturalbirth #douladianne #birthphotography #phoenixbirthphotographer #birthchoices https://www.instagram.com/p/B1UJ0aSAf5u/?igshid=8zlwd7pp8vpd

My first year as a midwife

I can’t believe it’s been a year!

Last year I… …felt tens of dozens of pregnant bellies …talked hours on the phone with mothers needing someone to talk to …saw more adorable little babies than I can count …worked numerous nights and fueled on endorphins alone …shared laughter and sadness and everything in between

47% of the babies I helped into this world in my first year as a midwife were born at home!

Girls ruled the statistics by a dazzling 53% of all the babies born into my hands!

Primum non nocere. The rite of passage.

The one who guided and loved me through it all. Who made it all happen by holding my hand and giving me his shoulder to cry on or to lay my head upon when it was too heavy to be carried by my neck alone. The one who sacrificed more than I would ever feel comfortable asking of him. The one who stood by me through every step, hump and victory. The one who I’m eternally grateful for sharing this crazy life with.

I love you immensely and unconditionally.

R/P and signal boost from @feministmidwife via @empoweredbirthatx Image @wisewildwell⠀ .⠀ Truth! Providers do not empower people: we make space for people to recognize their own power, the power they have if only / when someone allows them. When a provider enters a room and realizes the space isn’t their own but rather the person’s for whom they are honored to provide care. When a provider speaks and acknowledges that the power in conversation isn’t their own but rather of the person seeking counsel. In birth. In abortion. In hormone affirmation. In contraception provision. In sex positive counseling support. In annual exams. In STI screening. Always. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #midwiferycare #feministmidwife #safespace #youarepowerful #selflove #selfcare #feministquotes #intersectionalfeminism #intersectionalfeminist #selfworth

I was very glad that at yesterday’s counter-protest that we repeatedly chanted “Pro-Life, Pro-Killer! We Remember Dr. Tiller!” Posted @withrepost • @feministmidwife Ten years ago, the abortion community lost Dr. Tiller, an incredible provider, activist, and unwavering advocate for womxn’s rights and reproductive freedom, to a gunman who shot him as he ushered in his church. Ten years, and the National Abortion Federation report on “Anti-Abortion Violence and Disruption Statistics” is still frightening. Healthcare providers and our patients are targeted and attacked. The spectrum of hate is well known. And Dr. Tiller lost his life because of it. Grateful to have said his name to and remember him with a beloved colleague today. He is in our hearts. #stopthebans #abortionishealthcare #drgeorgetiller #rip #drtiller #abortionrights #mybodymyrights #mybodymychoice #prochoice #healthcare #womenshealth #womensrights #reproductivehealth #reproductivejustice #reproductiverights #abortionisnormal #righttochoose #stopthebans #1in4 #wewontgoback https://www.instagram.com/p/ByRMkmXgZmL/?igshid=1ie70z2okaxgz

I love how each baby always looks so different. They are each born with distinct personalities, but they are all born with an immutable power to love and trust. . . 📸: @darianclousephoto . . . #midwife #midwifery #midwifical #midwives #midwifelife #midwivesrock #feministmidwife #midwiferycare #babypictures #babypic #babypics #babypicture #newborns #newbornsofinstagram #newbornboy #newborngirl #newbornbabygirl #newbornbabyboy #babyphotoshoot #babyphotos #babyphotocontest #neonatal https://www.instagram.com/p/B8lzDngAatT/?igshid=cxr20varnfe6

Forward leaning inversion: great exercise for a stubborn breech baby. This encourages the baby to disengage from the pelvis and spin.
