#normalizebreastfeeding

I’m so thankful for the 25 months that God allowed me to breastfeed. At times it felt like the most natural thing in the world, other times it felt exhausting, there were times it hurt, times I needed space, times I loved it, times I hated it, times I laughed, times I cried, times I just wanted to pee or shower, times there was no place else I wanted to be… I am grateful for ALL of it. Encourage a Mom this week… breastfeeding is an amazing gift and sacrifice and we need to support each other throughout the journey.” @mamasdeilight beautifully said thank you for sharing your journey and encouraging other mamas throughout their journeys you’re amazing!🤍🤍🤍 #normalizebreastfeeding #breastfeeding #breastfeedingisbeautiful #love #unconditionallove #mama #momlife #motherhood #momsupportingmoms #breastfeedingweek #breastfeedingjourney #breastfed #breastfeed #breastmilk #mamasliquidgold #liquidlove #liquidgold #dropthecover #mindyourowntits #milkbar #life #normal #natural #beauty #magical #breastfeedingmom #breastfeedingsupport Repost @mamasliquidgold @wonderwombman @wonderwombman2 #wonderwombman #mamasliquidgold https://www.instagram.com/p/ChIAj1CASme/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I was like... WHOA. Do you even know who I am? Routine use of episiotomies is now pretty widely considered a form of obstetric violence. It doesn't serve a medical purpose and it causes physical (and often emotional) harm to the birthing person. So, no, I did not put an #episiotomy on my #birthplan. Also- even as an Evidence Based Birth® Instructor, veteran labor and delivery nurse, and lactation consultant, people STILL feel the need to give me pregnancy-related advice. Why, when my entire job revolves around giving other people advice that's actually evidence-based and medically appropriate, I have no idea. But to all of the pregnant folks reading this right now: Whatever ridiculous, fear-inducing, medically inaccurate advice is thrown at you today, you have full permission to walk away, tell them off, gently correct them, or otherwise do whatever's necessary to protect your own peace of mind. ✌

It’s all worth it though!
