Welcome
This page is here by virtue of Zoe showing up
A BIG thank you.
This is a heartful caring job – caring for the world’s mothers.
Shall we all?
We ourselves could have done with more likely.
When we were growing within our mum – she likely could have done with more help also . .
WE need to all rise up
What if we were that one?
How can it be that easy?

What the ‘experts’ try to say (biology does not count)
Zoe – a 34 weeks pregnant mum and Heather have a chat . .
START – Zoe discovering bodies do it for themselves .
1.30 – My first pregnancy experience . .
4.00 – The Continuum Concept – book by Jean Lieboff (The Continuum Concept introduces the idea that in order to achieve optimal physical, mental and emotional development, human beings – especially babies – require the kind of instinctive nurturing as practiced by our ancient relatives. It is a true ‘back to basics’ approach to parenting.)
6.00 – Blood nurturing mum and baby – Pro Creation D caps – all need to take all through pregnancy and out to past breastfeeding – such an easy way to nourish self . .and what Zoe notices . .
10.30 – 4 breeches? Josi’s last pregnancy . . coccyx not in right spot .
12.00 – WHY the breech?
14.00 – After birth healing of the inner surface in the womb. (Absolute need for rest and more rest – see The Golden Month)

15.00 – Zoe’s aha! moment . . . no accessories needed – just mum!
16.00 – placental wound need repair -and mum needs to learn to BE – ‘doing the month’ – unschool yourself to be the MOST important one for baby .. DO NOT BREAK THE BABY. . .
17.00 – no testing needed – make it all work optimally so no need to damage on all levels to ‘test’. NO invention ..
18.30 – How pregnant? Drs not listening to bedroom habits. . and apparently ‘too small’ baby . . on time – 12 day after conception date.
19.30 – INDUCTION? According to who – get well and no need ..
20.00 – Mums and bubs were in hospitals as a two week stay – in the 1950’s in NZ – the UK model – maternity home. .
21.00 – Stopping baby coming til the doctor was in the room . to get his fee.
22.00 – Salutogenesis – a HEALTH model .
23.00 – Zoe realising things could be different ..
25.00 – The First Three Years of Pregnancy . . . NOT THERE – brilliant work by Dr Suzannne Humphries now gone. With Hilary Butler. .
GONE GONE GONE See where it was . .
SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND – I was outraged! The most heartful and resourceful footage – caring/loving info GONE – as it is not spruiking the agenda by those who are not baby centred – or human centred. Here is Hilary on breastfeeding – and here (missing the bigger picture). Please follow to find – the series of brilliant videos MUST be somewhere . FOUND – rumble . .
26.30 – My discoveries – men who were helpful at birth and before and after – were held onto by mum – so no broken families for them . .
If we want to stay together – birth together. . .
28.10 – Do Not Break The Baby = must be mammalian maternity – imprinting . . .
30.00 – ‘What if something goes wrong’ – it is you are thinking like this. .
31.30 – My patient is . . .baby – soul calling me in . .
33.00 – Survival of the fittest – need to protect all of the birthing people
34.30 – Mother care . . . needed. We all do it somehow – BUT it takes a village. . .
36.30 – Needs to be baby centred . . not who can make the most $$ out of the misery . .
37.30 – Why I wrote WDCD
38.00 – Vaccination safe? Not when you have my family legacies . . . and maybe so many of us would be fine minus this.
40.00 – Heather’s many PhD’s . . . where is childbirth education?
41.30 – Bring birth back home . .
42.00 – Do we need midwives oxygen? Nature does not set us up to lose or to die. What is needed is HEALTH and an open baby gate.
Who is tasked with health/supporting LIFE?
All are NOT looking after either of these – but being ambos at bottom of cliff. We need so much more ..
Surely they need to stick with making then best birth possible – with ingredients and sort out the baby gate . .before hand.
43.00 – The Farm stats. .
46.20 – SELF FIRST . . . STOP Work – and be the best nest you can be . .
1.7% is the Cesarean Rate for The Farm from 1970-2010
Some other intriguing statistics that we could all learn from taken from her most recent book, Birth Matters:A Midwife’s Manifesta. (For complete stats list see her book, pgs 235-236)
Total accepted for care: 2,844
Twins: 17 sets
Vaginal births for twins: 17 sets
Vaginal birth after cesarean: 123, or 96.8% VBAC success rate
Brow presentations vaginally born: 5
Face presentations vaginally born: 12
Preeclampsia: 11, which is 0.4%
Maternal mortality: 0
Despite her passion, Ina May says she would never talk any woman into a homebirth. “But we do think that hospital birth could be informed by what we learn at home.” The Farm’s C-section rate remains at a tiny 1.4%. Ina May’s techniques ensure that almost two-thirds of the women she delivers keep their perineum intact.
Nature sets us up to win . .
