My post-partum journey. Plus I’m filling in some gaps that I think I missed in the earlier episodes.
This is everything from cocooning for 10 days, co-sleeping, babywearing, finding a pram in hard rubbish, breastfeeding, weaning, elimination communication and navigating customs bringing Violet’s placenta from Australia to New Zealand and the smell of cooking human flesh (it was the placenta, don’t worry). Mastitis and saying NO 3-4 times to maternal health nurse services.
Something else I want to add which wasn’t mentioned in my birth story…
When I was giving birth to Violet there was a lot of noise (from me) it came from somewhere else and what I feel was a primal birth.
It’s something I always ask women who have already given birth, but didn’t have the outcome they desire.
Did you make sound?
Often the answer is NO.
Why not?
I was worried about the other women in the ward, what the midwives would think of me, it’s not like me to make sound…
My encouragement to them… Make the sound and see what happens.
I’ve heard some beautiful stories of the following births being liberating.
