weight loss on pregnancy
Author and illustrator Christy Tyner has written a new childrens book, Mama Midwife: A Birth Adventure. Its about about life when mom is a midwife. Christys partner Michelle is a homebirth midwife, and their two children ages 4 and 5 are used to birth talk.
Why write a childrens book about when mom is a midwife? Christy explains:
Growing up with positive messages about birth will hopefully reduce the fear created by the flawed model I grew up with. I was exposed to birth the same way most people are - through movies and television, where unfortunately most birth scenes are excruciating emergencies in a hospital that requires intervention. By contrast, my kids hear stories firsthand about whole families that participate in birth, where siblings are woken up in the middle of the night to come witness the birth of their baby brother or sister. They hear stories about the mom reaching down with her own hands to guide her baby out, about birth by candlelight in a warm birth tub, about babies that are placed immediately on the mother’s chest, and about dads and partners that provide amazing support, catch the baby and stay by the mothers side. And of course a perfect birth isnt always the case, but we talk about the transfers, too. I think they have a more realistic sense of the spectrum of birth experiences that are possible. Every time a baby is born, Michelle texts me a picture of the baby with his family. I show the kids, and we all celebrate. Their association with birth is joy.
Mama Midwife is populated with charming, whimsical animal characters. Miso the Mouse has a midwife mother. Miso
watches and learns and plays midwife. She even gets to come along with her mom one special night. Heres a sample page from the book:
