Wisdom, Warmth and wonderment

Each woman brings her own uniqueness to the circle. Each has a gift, a talent that is her trademark. Welcoming in diversity and humility. To walk on your journey as you walk through life will bring you closer to your goal and more joy in your day. You are a midwife who is in creation. A midwife under construction. You are important in your journey. Always be willing to learn and always keep breathing.

Wisdom of nature or patience is a key

I pass along the wisdom of nature that like turtles who grow in their shells and must hatch themselves, so must most human babies. As I am awaiting the birth of yet another " grandbaby or niece" I am reminded by the wisdom of her knowing that time is important to allow all good to come about at her birth. I believe that we also have an agenda to bring to the table and life must dictate some of it.
To induce or not to induce is a question. Unless a woman is overdue or her blood pressure is questionable  by midwifery standards,  why then would be induce a woman. Is 280 days the perfect day for every human baby to be born? No! The clock is an illusion and the timing is dependant on many factors. First that so as a woman lives so shall she give birth. Who is she and how does she do things in life. Second, what is the moon up to? It does play a part as does some cosmic door that opens and lets people in and out. Third, what are the emotional drives that move a woman to her path? Every woman is different. The path to ten centimeters is different for every woman and every baby. No two are alike. The only thing we know is that they do.

That moment of still before life makes it's way forth. For some of my births, these days before are just as vivid in my mind. Waiting in anticipation for nothing less than a miracle. Sending peaceful warm light your way.
