“I'm preparing myself mentally to latch baby ont “I'm preparing myself mentally to latch baby onto the breast. She latches on well and after those first almost unbearably painful seconds, my tense posture softens. I close my eyes as I get completely immersed by sleep. Immersed in gratitude and weariness. “ ~ series in the newest edition of @kiindmagazine Both image and words by me @warmcuppatea Model dearest Marieke @marieke_sterenborg 💫 #engorgement #stuwing #tepelkloven #sorenipples
“Today in the West, we are waking up to the impo “Today in the West, we are waking up to the importance of cocooning baby in the weeks following birth. But somehow, we have forgotten the time-honered wisdom that this special cocoon of care should extend to the mother as well.” ~ Heng Ou , the first forty days (Model: dearest Jaira @jaira1 )
Ongeveer 2 jaar geleden ontmoette ik Jilke @zwaano Ongeveer 2 jaar geleden ontmoette ik Jilke @zwaanopdemaan tijdens een kampeerweekend. Onze dochters Nin en Nore klikten ogenblikkelijk en spendeerden het gehele weekend in hechte vriendschap. Onze mannen Christophe en Timmo sloten ook al snel een bondje tijdens een mannencirkel. Maar het was echter pas (als de heuse introverts die we zijn) na een aantal weken, toen we afspraken voor de dochters, dat Jilke en ik elkaar écht leerden kennen. En wat ben ik daar blij om! Inmiddels is ze zo’n goede vriendin geworden en hebben we bij elkaar de geboortes van onze jongsten vastgelegd. (Zie foto hierboven, die ik maakte van haar lotus-tweeling) Anna Myrte @annamyrte ontmoette ik ongeveer 1 jaar geleden toen we samen in de leer waren bij traditioneel vroedvrouw Angelina Martinez Miranda uit Mexico. Veel tijd hebben we toen niet gekregen om elkaar te leren kennen, maar ze liet toen al een mooie indruk op mij achter. Toen Anna Myrte & Jilke mij in de nazomer vroegen om hun te fotograferen, werd ik meteen enthousiast. Deze twee fantastische vrouwen schrijven namelijk samen het boek ‘Mijn reis naar binnen’. Dé weg naar een @vrijegeboorte ! Hoe bijzonder en nodig is dat!? Ons samenkomen die dag voelde als kloppend en het contact verliep zo organisch, ik weet gewoon dat er nog meer moois uit deze combinatie voort zal komen. Ik ben ontzettend trots op jullie, stelletje geboorte revolutionisten! #vrijegeboorte #gentlebirth #lotustwins #birthrevolution #mijnreisnaarbinnen #degeboortefotograaf

Some people might think I have a strong opinion ab Some people might think I have a strong opinion about how babies should be born a certain way. But that is such a misconception. I BELIEVE in mothers! I have complete confidence in the woman's ability to determine how she wants to give birth. What that looks like for her personally. I am in total amazement of the strength that I witness during every birth I attend. Mamas truly have the knowledge! I dream of a world where we actually want to listen to that wisdom. We know what to do. If a woman asks for guidance / help / intervention, we must listen. She need not be ashamed of that. If a woman wants to give birth unassisted, we must listen. She need not be ashamed of that. If a woman during labour wants to deviate from her original birth plan, we must listen. She need not be ashamed of that. I KNOW the way I gave birth to my children is not the way for every mama. I respect that. All I advocate for, is for women to have a VOICE. Because what I am willing to admit is, that it deeply saddens me when women have seemed to lost their voice. That they essentially outsource their existence. I refuse to see women apatically do whatever they're told. Women are medicine and we must walk with that medicine! Let that sink in. Pictured here dear mama @wombfulness who just found out she gave birth to a son after four daughters. Thank you for making me part of your journey Marjolein💛 #vrijegeboorte #degeboortefotograaf #waterbirth #homebirth #givebirthlikeafeminist
