Ina May Gaskin an Inspiritional lady

I was reminded of this wonderful lady as I have been sharing her whole concept of birth to a doctor friend of mine, Dr Rashid. Dr Rashid is on her GP training and working through Obs & gynae experience.

There are some peers that are just so inspirational that you hold them high in your life for influencing the way you think and do things. Ina May Gaskin in one such lady. A 1960s Hippie now in her 60s and still wears flowers in her hair. Despite practising as a midwife in the high litigious world of the USA, she is an advocate for natural birthing. But can respond with knowledge, skills and judgment to emergency situations to lessen the impact of the emergency.


Her whole being inspires confidence in birthing for mothers in her care.. and this photo sums up the rapport and link that she forges between mother and baby... Just being around her you feel safe in her care... that is a good attribute for any midwife - for any caring professional...


I have met Ina here in the UK when I attended a Birthing seminar in Bristol and it was as if we had known one another for eons of time... such warmth in this lady for sure... and she has the ability to take an interest in you too...

Love one of her quotes and we women need to hear this with our hearts..

“There is no other organ quite like the uterus. If men had such an organ they would brag about it. So should we”
― Ina May Gaskin

Here is another quote that displays the biological confidence we should have in the whole process..

“It is important to keep in mind that our bodies must work pretty well, or their wouldn't be so many humans on the planet.”
― Ina May Gaskin, Ina May's Guide to Childbirth

The other side of the birthing coin

After my Earth Mother blog about Kate Silverton earlier in the week, with her beautiful birthing experience - we see in the media the other side of the birthing coin. When there are complications and problems to respond too and fast!

My thoughts are with Amanda Holden and her family...and a special e-cuddle to Holly Rose, this is the other end of the pole in childbirth... the blood loss can be impressive from a placenta praevia or indeed a placental abruption with SROM... good that everyone can act quick.. one reason I would keep up my scrubbing skills to meet the acute crash sections...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2091615/Amanda-Holden-baby-girl-named-Hollie-Rose-Star-nearly-died-gave-birth.html

I miss all this... being in a wonderful natural birth with one case then rushing down the corridor to respond to an emergency.. Marjorie could be in any situation and perform...dam shame I gave up midwifery - but really feeling too knackered for anything these days...

The irony is that I was such a case as a 17 year old.. I nearly lost my life with a stilbirth and massive Post Partum Haemorrhage... but I never lost my biological confidence in birthing and was able thanks to God to go on and have two lovely healthy babies and birthing experiences... though my last birth was much better due to the company of a medical student as in those days of delivery you were often alone with husbands not allowed in the birthing room.. Then able to later qualify as a midwife and give 20 years to this practice... what a reward for all the medical support I got when I was in an emergency situation...

Top Gun Bed time

Having to wear my CPAP mask to sleep in makes me feel like a Fighter pilot going to bed each night... like something out of Top Gun though not so glamourous... The CPAP is needed to support my sleep apneas and drop in oxygen sats through the night...all related to my Killer Boobs... loool yes the heavy breast tissue is causing havoc.. rather than an asset it is throwing me into structural stress problems...and I cannot get help... as the local PCT will not allow the funding for what is deemed as cosmetic surgery.

Was thinking how I am losing myself in all this and was reminded through my quip about Top Gun how I have a desire for my PPL...

To think I really have flown one of these.. Cessna 172....see pics.... was a crafty way signing up for trial lessons at Leeds/Bradford Airport Flying club... as I could not afford to do the full course... but scrapped 3 hrs out of this. Loved John the Irish flying instructor.... gave me such confidence and actually I managed to get it up without him.... loool well he was there at the side of me... but no more runway and he wasn't getting it up ... so what as a girl got to do... get it up for him... :-)

all that excitment and now the only yawing I do is yawning as I am tooo knackered to do anything...

but would love to fly again...

Actually was the first time I had ever flown that first lesson as never been on a commercial flight then...

Liberating...and therapeutic as to be above the clouds seems to shrink all the earth problems you have. It is like all the problems shrink to become black dots on the ground like the sheep in the fields as you rise above them. To feel a sense of freedom from the tethering of those problems... is a good feel indeed..... freedom! Love it


Also been in a microlight... which is when you think of it the equivalent of a box kite with a lawn mower engine in... but that was good time too... its gooooood...
