London Doula - Michaela Kalusová I am a very experienced birth & postnatal doula living in Bromley working throughout London and surrounding areas.

Hypnobirthing, pregnancy massage, placenta encapsulation. The way we birth our babies has a profound effect on them. Babies born in a calm, relaxed and loving environment receive a foundational security of feeling welcomed and loved throughout life. They breastfeed well, sleep well, and are calmer as children and adults later in life. It is my dream that every woman gives birth peacefully, confidently, and with ease.

Bezpečnější mateřská péče pro přeživší sexuálního traumatu Úvodní webinář pro porodní asistentky, duly a zdravotníky

Sexuální trauma není vzácné. 1 ze 4 dívek zažila v dětství sexuální zneužití nebo pokus o něj a 58 % žen v ČR se během života setkalo s nějakou formou sexuálního násilí. Mnoho z těchto žen o své zkušenosti nikdy nemluví. To znamená jediné: ve své péči je už máte, aniž byste to věděli.

Těhotenství, porod a poporodní období nejsou pro každou ženu neutrální. Vaginální vyšetření, odhalení těla, ztráta kontroly nebo péče, která postupuje příliš rychle, mohou trauma nechtěně probudit. A reakce, které přitom vidíme, tedy mlčení, odpor nebo takzvaná "nespolupráce", jsou často špatně čtené projevy přežití.

Tento hodinový úvodní webinář vám ukáže, proč na tom záleží a kde začít. Není potřeba žádná předchozí průprava v oblasti traumatu.

Co si odnesete:

proč je sexuální trauma v mateřské péči častější, než se zdá (data z ČR)
jak trauma ovlivňuje celou perinatální cestu: početí, těhotenství, porod a poporodní období
které běžné momenty péče mohou působit jako spouštěče
proč se trauma reakce často mylně čtou jako "nespolupráce"
první principy trauma informované péče: souhlas jako průběžný proces, citlivá komunikace, snížení rizika retraumatizace
kam pokračovat dál, pokud se chcete vzdělávat hlouběji

Pro koho je webinář určen: směnové i komunitní porodní asistentky, personál porodnictví, lékaři, sestry na odděleních, duly, lektoři předporodních kurzů, zdravotníci s kratším nebo jednorázovým kontaktem a sociální pracovníci. Předchozí specializace v tématu traumatu není nutná.

Proč se zúčastnit: Ticho neznamená bezpečí. To, co vidíme jako "špatné chování", je často přežití. A když tomu porozumíme, změní se i naše péče. Bezpečnější mateřská péče je možná, nejen klinicky, ale i emocionálně.

Webinář je zároveň úvodem do našeho základního školení (8 hodin, online), které nabízí hlubší praktické nástroje a rámce trauma informované mateřské péče.

“It’s not a bonus or a luxury for someone to have care that is safe and respectful,” says Cristen Pascucci, founder of Birth Monopoly, an online advocacy organization that focuses on birthing rights. They argue that for some patients, doulas are an essential part of ensuring a healthy, safe birth – especially for marginalized populations like women of color, particularly black women, who bear the brunt of the maternal mortality crisis in America. There is evidence that continuous, one-on-one birthing support, particularly from a doula, reduces the risk of dissatisfying or traumatic birth experiences, unplanned C-sections and low Apgar scores – the method physicians use to assess a newborn’s health immediately after birth.

As coronavirus changes the way women experience pregnancy, doulas are caught between helping clients and the limitations caused by the pandemic

Pluristem Therapeutics is a biotech company in Israel that administered cell therapy to six critically ill COVID-19 patients. Four of those patients showed improved respiration.
✲
A NJ hospital has become the first in the U.S. to do administer placenta therapy on a critically ill patient.
✲
The process is simple, it involves removing placenta cells from a fresh placenta, placing it into syringes and injecting it straight into the patients muscle.
✲
The Food and Drug Administration cleared a Somerset County biotech company to conduct a clinical study to test the impact of placenta therapy on COVID-19. The study will involve up to 86 patients with COVID-19.

INTERESTING! FROM My Expert Midwife Did you know, since the Covid-19 lockdown began in the UK, mums and midwives across the country have seen an increase in the number of babies coming back up to their birth weight by day 5! - Something that has not been seen in decades!
It is totally normal for your baby's weight to decrease post birth, however in recent years, it's been known to take up to day 10, or longer, for babies to get back up to their birth weight. This meant, extra measures were advised if your baby's day 5 weigh-in didn’t reach the expected amount.

Interestingly, what the lockdown and self-isolation has shown us is that without a constant stream of visitors, mum and baby have had a better opportunity for uninterrupted bonding which seems to have hugely helped mums and babies to establish breastfeeding and feed for longer, helping them regain their weight far quicker!

Whilst this evidence from midwives and other professionals is only anecdotal, at this stage, we hope that, once the NHS workload has returned to normal, formal research can look into this data in greater detail as this could have a huge impact on how women and their partners prepare for postpartum and breastfeeding.
