Mama Gaia

This week I had a call from a good friend saying "help! I have a 5 min drive to my friend's house who's in labour, what can I do to support her?".

So this reel is inspired by that. A very quick snapshot of what I'd tell someone whose partner or friend is in labour and they're wanting to support. Obviously the specifics are SO unique to each birth and circumstances,

The post birth poo 💩

I promise it's not as bad as you might fear!

Some clarification on the new transfer policy from Queenstown. To be absolutely clear, you can still CHOOSE to birth in Invercargill. But the new policy means if you needed to transfer from Lakes or home, or before you'd gotten yourself to Invercargill or wherever you're birthing, you would be taken to Dunedin.

How does this new transfer policy sit with you?

Due dates! One of my favourite rants 😂

What are your thoughts?

Choosing to go with the flow is a decision in itself! Think through all your scenarios foe birth and decide what feels right for you.

A new transfer policy for those birthing in Queenstown that's super important to know! Now, *all* air and road transfers will be sent to Dunedin.

That's a big change and can affect what some people will choose when giving birth. Please talk to your midwife and consider all the scenarios that could occur.

Tell me what you're thinking and anything else I haven't mentioned here. Spread the word, it's so important everyone knows!

A bit about your placenta and what to expect!
