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

Breastfeeding is definitely a full time job! Exclusively breastfeeding your baby may take up to 35 hours weekly.

Menstrual cups are inserted into the vagina to collect blood for up to 12 hours. They are a great way to save money long term on period products, as they will last for several years. Because they are reusable, they are also good for the environment. 📸: @putacupinit #midwife #midwifical #midwifery #midwives #menstrualcycle #obgyn #gyn #gynecology #midwifelife #midwivesrock #midwiferycare #menstruation #menses #periodproblems #periods #period #menstrualcup #menstrualcramps #menstruationmatters #menstrual #menstrualhealth #menstrualhygiene #menstrualart #periodart #periodpositive #endperiodshame #periodsbelike #periodstories https://www.instagram.com/p/B4aAHDIAWgb/?igshid=1x7eolh2gu6fs

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

Sisterhood.

Are you okay? The postpartum period and the postpartum mother are often neglected. This is a time where hormones recalibrate, bodies change unexpectedly, and sleep takes on a new meaning. If you’re visiting someone who recently gave birth, you are there to support her, not just to see the baby.
