#challengeaccepted (edited) - @gweena91 nominated me - 💪🏼 @beelzeboobz has a great breakdown of the origins of this challenge. Black and white images are unfortunately seen through the news in Turkey of women lost to murder and violence.

•Won’t sharing any content for the next while - there’s so much learning, education and reflection needed as a society, and there are many people more educated and more importantly, deserving of your attention. Instead, I’ll be amplifying these voices.

Childbirth Pain Relief Options :
Little boy is sick today - not much of an appetite.
Yesterday I was meant to post the latest episode for the podcast, a day that I had determined for myself, no other reason.
To all the families that had their babies taken from them, and to the babies that were ripped from their families...for all the mistreatment and brutality...the unjust, undignified and disrespectful characterisations, for all the damage and heartbreak inflicted on a people, today is a day we reflect on our shameful history as a nation and say sorry. Sorry.
Just a little reminder : Checked your Boobs recently? We’re tackling this over on @alittlebirdytoldme_podcast throughout June. #checkyourboobs #cancerprevention #breastcancer #earlydetection #lumpsandbumps
A massage...a kiss...making you laugh...a loving hand on your shoulder; all helping to boost your love hormone (oxytocin), endorphins and reduce fear. ❤️ What an important role the birth support person plays.... Beautiful 📸 by @wovenstudio
Visualisation can be a powerful tool when in labour to help manage the power of contractions.
