Why buy merch? It’s grounding, a mental prompt for the tired AF birthworker, and flagging for your like minded peeps
Cervical scar tissue is SUCH a labor block.
How does it get there?
What does it do?
Unpregnant: Pain with cycle, intercourse, digestion
Fertility: slows the getting preggers roll
Labor: stalled or slow to progress labor pattern, prodromal labor for weeks, and a feeling of knives in cervix or uterus.
Postpartum: prolapse risk, secondary infertility, pain, predisposing towards mood disorders
Menopause: decreased metabolism, back pain, gait instability, prolapse risk (cervical, rectal, Bladder, urethra)
No Bueno.
It’s also way under discussed and even when it’s acknowledged, it’s kind of “well, what can we do,” type attitude, so let’s ignore it and see what happens.
Also, no bueno.
My midwifery preceptor wrote this in 2016 after I came back from the STREAM training OG and shared about the magic of castor oil tampons.
(Interestingly, I had not remembered all the “soften the cervix with oil” part until I reread her post.)
At the time, I had an online healing course hosted on a platform that has since folded. Boooooo.
As I’m updating the scar healing course, I am rewriting each module and publishing as a Tiny Book.* Why a Tiny Book?
Best way to get interactive, embodied knowledge, into the hands of the right people. Like, Hey friend, I made this the right size to slip in your birth bag or purse.
