Timeline PhotosFUN FACT FRIDAY ABOUT MILK-MAKING. Did you know you grow more milk-making cells in your breasts with each pregnancy? So the more pregnancies you have, the more grapes (erhm.. I mean milk-making cells) you’ll have! 🍇
.
.
Were you a first time mom struggling with milk supply like me? I don’t think a day went by where I didn’t think about ways to at least keep up my supply.
.
.
Second time around? A BOUNTIFUL supply! Now there are many factors for this, but one is because the hormone changes that you go through in pregnancy help your body make more milk-making cells. So in addition to the ones you had from your last pregnancy, you’ll have some more!
.
.
Pretty neat huh? So if your breastfeeding journey didn’t work out the way you wanted to your first time, it likely won’t be the same the second time around (for many reasons, having more milk-making cells being one of them!) 🙌🏻

I’ll have way more information like this on my website, where the launch is coming in March. Be the first to know! Link in the bio or go to breastfeedingdietitian.com 🤱

I’ve witnessed several hands off, intervention-free, physiological births in hospital and want to talk about the one thing these births had in common...the midwife who was on shift at the time.

This is Midwife Roulette and you need be aware that this comes in to play as part of the chess game that is industrialised birth.

Which Midwife are you going to spin up when you arrive to birth your baby?

• Have they eaten?
• Are they rested?
• Did they just have an argument with a loved one?
• Are they just fucking over it and the job they do?
• Have they witnessed a physiological birth?
• Do they trust birth and the non-medicalisation of it?
• Are they remotely invested in you, your baby and your birth?

Woman centred midwives are still keeping an eye on the clock...not because they’re waiting to perform the next VE but because they know when unwanted people are going to start knocking on the door. They will leave you alone to birth while they intercept anyone that’s about to come in to your room...by meeting them in the corridor. They’re not afraid to tell people to back off and that you’ve got this.

Woman centred midwives are birth bouncers.

Woman centred midwives know how to leave their own stuff behind before they walk through those doors to start their shift. They take care of themselves, are fed, hydrated and rested as much as possible.

Woman centred midwives trust birth, are excited by it and know the long term effect a physiological birth has on everyone.

Woman centred midwives welcome Doulas with open arms because why wouldn’t you want someone else in the room 100% focussed on Mum? 🤔

It’s a gamble, not knowing which Midwife you’re going to have with you and preparation for this gamble means preparing as if you’re NOT getting the woman centred Midwife, which means preparing for battle. All of this effects your birth because if you don’t have a woman centred Midwife, which you won’t know until you get there and have fully assessed everything (while primarily labouring and birthing your baby...just think about the effect this has on your and your baby’s nervous system), you will have to tighten that armour and engage in battle.

Which Midwife did you spin up on the Midwife Roulette wheel? ... See MoreSee Less
