Birth has SO many numbers. 😂

10 cm gets all the attention, but then someone checks your cervix and suddenly you’re hearing:

“6 cm, 80%, -1 station.”

Cool cool cool. What does any of that mean?

Station is one of those pieces of birth language that providers use constantly, but parents aren’t always actually taught. And it matters because labour isn’t only about your cervix opening. Baby has a whole journey to make through the pelvis too.

They need to descend, flex, rotate and navigate their way through a space that is changing with your movement and position.

That’s also why we don’t love looking at any ONE number and deciding whether labour is “going well.”

A baby who is still relatively high may descend quickly later. A baby who is already low may still need to rotate. You can be completely dilated while baby still has some travelling to do.

Birth is dynamic. The numbers are information, not a grade.

And the more you understand what your care team is actually talking about, the easier it is to participate in conversations and decisions about your own birth. 🤍

Save this one for the next time someone tells you baby is at “-2” and expects you to know where exactly that is. 😂

Another week of Messy Moms, and apparently we each picked a different flavour of chaos. 😂

Britt’s week: Cicada Fest past bedtime, a daycare photo nobody consented to, 90s nostalgia in every season, zero privacy, and the Jonas Brothers for some 2000s nostalgia too.

Emily’s week: two birthdays, dad scoring points by arriving with flowers for his girl’s bday, a lake mishap, exploring the Port Colborne hospitals lower level (👻) and trampoline time ending exactly how trampoline time always ends: sibling warfare.

And somewhere in the middle of all that, we taught Into Birth, hosted a really fun mini portrait morning at Black Sheep, and both made it to a friend’s baby shower like functioning adults.

It was fun, full, exciting, chaotic and genuinely such a good week. It was also exhausting enough that we can now lovingly look back on it from the safe distance of “thank god that’s over.” 😂 - just like a lot of parenting moments!

And thank you to Megan of Muir Image Photo + Video for grabbing some photos of us. Her work: stunning, high quality. Emily under direct camera supervision: still a developing skill. 🤎

This week we’re back in Fonthill ☕️🤎

Join us Wednesday morning at Font Coffee Bar for coffee, a walk through the Lookout neighbourhood, and the usual mix of strollers, toddlers, feeding breaks, half-finished conversations and actually getting to talk to other adults for a bit.

We’ll gather around 10am and usually start walking closer to 10:30-10:45, so don’t stress if getting out the door takes longer than planned.

Babies, toddlers, older kids, bumps, carriers, strollers and friendly leashed dogs are all welcome. Come alone, come with a friend, come for the walk or just come for the coffee.

And as always, there’s no registration and no cost, just show up. 🤎

📍 Font Coffee Bar, Fonthill
📅 Wednesday, October 7
⏰ 10am

Hosted by Mothertide Doulas in collaboration with Moms Niagara.

If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll still meet; we’ll just stay inside and call it a coffee date instead. ☕️

This week’s Messy Mom energy: trying very hard, winging at least 40% of it, and discovering once again that the kids are probably having a much better time than the version of motherhood happening in our heads 😂

We got outside. We made memories. We made messes. We ate questionable breakfasts, hid candy, survived birthday-party chaos, learned that wasp traps are apparently decorative, and somehow still found time for sibling wrestling and snack boards in matching pyjamas.

Some weeks feel productive. Some feel chaotic. Most are both.

And maybe that’s the whole point of these posts: you can feel like you’re doing too much and not enough at the exact same time… while your kids are over there thinking life is pretty great. 🤎

Here’s your reminder that “good mom” rarely looks as polished from the inside as we imagine it should.
