Imagine being in labor… and suddenly being put on Zoom court because you refused a C-section. This needs to be talked about more‼️

That’s exactly what happened to a Florida mother who wanted the chance to deliver vaginally. Despite understanding the risks, she was forced to defend her medical choices alone, in a hospital bed, surrounded by doctors and lawyers.

No advocate. No lawyer. Just her voice vs. the system.

This isn’t just about one woman it raises a bigger question:
Do pregnant women lose the right to make decisions about their own bodies?

She wasn’t refusing care she was asking for a choice.

Situations like this feel less like healthcare… and more like control.

Women deserve to be heard, respected, and in charge of their own bodies even in the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

Having Braxton Hicks?
In need of some relief?

Here’s an awesome breakdown from Liesel Teen BSN, RN | Pregnancy + Birth]

Liesel Teen BSN, RN | Pregnancy + Birth]
・・・
What are Braxton Hicks? 🤔⁣⁠
⁣⁠
💙 Basically, it's when your uterus gently tightens for 30-60 seconds (but can be as long as 2 minutes!)⁣⁠
💙 Often described more as uncomfortable than painful⁣⁠
💙 Most mamas describe them as a hardening or tightening of their belly ⁣⁠
💙 Can happen from the top down or across your stomach⁣⁠
💙 Think of them as your body's way of helping prepare your uterus for labor without actually being in labor ⁣⁠
💙 Many believe that BHs (especially the ones that occur in the third trimester) can help encourage your cervix to soften, so they aren't a waste after all!⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Braxton Hicks characteristics:⁣⁠
👉🏻 Usually irregular⁣⁠
👉🏻 Don't follow any kind of pattern⁠
👉🏻 Intermittent - you might have one or a few together and then they stop for awhile⁣⁠
👉🏻 Don't increase in intensity⁣⁠
👉🏻 Real labor contractions will become more rhythmic and intense as time passes ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
What can I do to alleviate BH's?⁣⁠
💜 Stay hydrated: Your uterus contracts much more when you are dehydrated⁠
💜 Keep your bladder empty: I'm sure you are already peeing wayyy more than you would like but an empty bladder can help alleviate BHs⁣⁠
💜 Change positions: Increased activity can cause your uterus to contract more⁣⁠
💜 Try lying down and resting for a little bit⁣⁠
💜 Hot bath or warm compresses on your back: Heat can help relax your muscles and alleviate discomfort⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Not helping? Starting to become more painful? It never hurts to contact your provider to check in!!⁣⁠

Let’s Talk About Vitamin K 📖
Here’s an amazing fact from Dr Sara Wickham]
Be sure to click on her link to receive more information.

Dr Sara Wickham]
・・・
A quick reminder of a few key facts, and a link to find out more.

Vitamin K is offered to all newborn babies.

It is up to parents to decide whether their baby has vitamin K.

Vitamin K is offered as a routine preventative treatment because a tiny number of babies (about 1 in 11,000) develop a serious bleeding problem, and vitamin K can prevent this.

As always, there's a bigger picture, and a number of things that parents might want to take into account when making their decision.

If you’re a parent or parent-to-be who is looking for resources on Vitamin K, we have an information hub on this on www.sarawickham.com/vk, where you can also see details of Dr Sara Wickham's book on this topic.
