Overdue Babies,
For
those who encouraged me along the jouney.
The
babies who were overdue waited patiently.. while their mothers waited impatiently until Feb
arrived before their arrival. One due the 8th of jan was born
the 1st of Feb (24 days over) looking a little overcooked and
weighed in at 3.6kg despite the late scan saying 4.1kg..
the other due the 11th
of Jan arrived on the 2nd of Feb (22 days) looking not a minute
overdue despite mother’s dates and scan dates matching around 16
weeks!
Both
these women resisted pressure (and bulling) from the obs involved and from
family and friends to trust themselves and their babies. I am so inspired
by them both.

Midwife
"You
are a midwife, assisting at someone else's birth. Do good without
show or fuss. Facilitate what is happening rather than what you think
ought to be happening. If you must take the lead, lead so that the mother
is helped, yet still free and in charge. When the baby is born, the mother
will rightly say: "We did it ourselves!"
