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

Nurse Sheila visits baby Elcia and mom Ketty Pierre, 25, at their home in Cabestor, Haiti. Ketty walked for half an hour (in labor!) to reach the Carrie Wortham Birth Center, where she delivered her fourth child - and first daughter. Home visits play a key role in providing culturally-appropriate midwifery care in a country where many new moms don't leave the home for a month or longer after giving birth, or may have to walk 30+ minutes to reach a facility. Nurse Sheila will be a member of our ninth class of skilled birth attendants and will return to work full-time in Cabestor when she graduates! #communitysolutions #midwivesmakeadifference . . .

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

One of my favorite things to say to my pregnant patients! Case in point: just recently I had a patient who was 1cm dilated and three days later she showed up to the hospital at 10cm after laboring for 2.5 hours!
