I love it when my primips (people having their first births) push like champs! How long did you push for with your first? 📸: @catfancote.capturingbirth #midwife #midwifical #midwifery #midwives #midwifelife #obgyn #midwivesrock #midwiferycare #feministmidwife #childbirth #naturalchildbirth #birthphotography #birthphotographer #birthphotos #birthphoto #birthphotogs #midwifebirth #3rdtrimester #thirdtrimester #laboranddelivery #laboranddeliveryrn #laboranddeliverynurse https://www.instagram.com/p/B1htB5MAST3/?igshid=zr9uvds1uwc9

“Midwife” means with woman. It means labor support. It means continuity of care. It means family-centered. It means normalizing birth. Recently I had a glorious birth with a patient whom I had seen week after week in the last few months of her pregnancy. I met her partner, asked about her birth preferences, and listened to her concerns. We were fortunate enough to experience her birth together, and I even helped her partner guide their baby into the world. Truly an amazing journey. This is the heart of midwifery. 💗 📸: @jennifermasonphotography #midwife #midwifical #midwifery #midwives #midwifelife #obgyn #midwivesrock #midwiferycare #feministmidwife #waterbirth #waterbirthbaby #childbirth #naturalchildbirth #birthphotography #birthphotographer #birthphotos #birthphoto #birthphotogs #midwifebirth #3rdtrimester #thirdtrimester #laboranddelivery #laboranddeliveryrn #laboranddeliverynurse https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq-7j5sH14L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11waqrcbeffb3

One of my favorite parts of attending births as a midwife is bearing witness to the miraculous strength of a woman 📸: @kimberly.hammond.photography #midwivesmakeadifference #nmw2018 #midwiferyweek #midwife #midwifical #midwifery #midwives #midwifelife #obgyn #midwivesrock #midwiferycare #feministmidwife #childbirth #naturalchildbirth #birthphotography #birthphotographer #birthphotos #birthphoto #birthphotogs #midwifebirth #3rdtrimester #thirdtrimester #laboranddelivery #laboranddeliveryrn #laboranddeliverynurse https://www.instagram.com/p/Boe9U9sF0e2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nucd6neqaqyd

The afterbirth...here you see the shiny Schultz side of the placenta. This is the fetal side, slick with membranes and jelly covering the blood vessels underneath. 📸: @littleyou_capturedbyalysha #midwife #midwifical #midwifery #midwives #midwifelife #obgyn #midwivesrock #midwiferycare #feministmidwife #childbirth #naturalchildbirth #birthphotography #birthphotographer #birthphotos #birthphoto #birthphotogs #midwifebirth #3rdtrimester #thirdtrimester #laboranddelivery #laboranddeliveryrn #laboranddeliverynurse #homebirth #homebirthmama #homebirthmidwife #homebirthing #placenta https://www.instagram.com/p/BpccJECHnaF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l1oqjz4pnv91
