Rashes are often a stressor for parents. Check out this great resource for childhood and baby rashes. Link in bio. Reposted @withregram @brownskinmatters @Madeformums and their partnering GP have put together a guide to childhood rashes (link in bio) that includes both diverse photos, and descriptions of texture (which is vital when identifying rashes on darker skin that may not visibly change color). I love to see a reference that is valuable to all parents. #brownskin #brownskinmatters #blackskinmatters #mumlife #blackskincare #skinconditions #pediatricdermatology #momlife #blackmoms #transracialfamily #transracialadoption #blackkidsmatter #blackdads

Reposted @bcmidwives Midwifery in B.C. is facing a crisis due to inaction and lack of support from previous governments. This election, we’re calling on political parties to make sure midwifery services will continue to be available to those who need them.

Current TMG clients: our paging service has been experiencing technical issues recently. If you are unable to get through to or have not heard back from your midwifery team, please either call BC Women’s Hospital at 604 875 2424 and ask for the Urgent Care Centre or go to BC Women’s and the nurses will contact your team. We’re sorry for the inconvenience this many cause. Thank you for your understanding.

Check your red onions! Dehydration in the adult is the biggest concern usually when pregnant folks contract food-borne illnesses. There are rarely fetal complications as they are well protected and insulated inside the uterus. However, if the symptoms are not resolved in a couple of days check in with your primary care provider! https://www.cbc.ca//pei-salmonella-outbreak-canada-linked-

May and June kept us busy! Welcome to earth side, little ones #startlifewithamidwife #bcmidwives #midwivesinvancouver #homebirth #hospitalbirth #vaginalbirth #caesareanbirth

#Repost @midwivesinvancouver Dear Families, BC Midwives need your support Now in BC, midwives attend 22% of deliveries in our province. Last October, BC midwives voted down an offer by the NDP government because it failed to incorporate requirements that are critical to sustaining the profession and ensuring midwifery care is available to birthing families in BC.... This week Midwives are back at the bargaining table with the BC Ministry of Health- at a time when support and demand for midwifery is at an all-time high. As per a recent study, 1 in 3 BC midwives say they are likely to leave the profession within five years if support remains deficient. We are midwives as it is our calling, but no amount of passion can attract sufficient recruits without an urgent and robust rollout of ministry-funded infrastructure. Want to help our profession Bloom? 1) Visit @bcmidwives Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter pages- please share or re-post our campaign to raise some noise 2) Visit www.supportBCMidwives.ca (link in bio) to send a letter to Premier Horgan, the Honourable Adrian Dix and your local MLA 3) Post your reason for loving midwives and tag our BC decision makers @johnhorgan4bc and @adriandixbc, using the hashtag #deliverformidwives Thank you for your support!
