My natural water birth story at Genesis Maternity Clinic

by Tiisetso Gamaon November 6, 2019November 7, 201922 Comments on My natural water birth story at Genesis Maternity Clinic

I had my first natural water birth in 2015 with my oldest boy, Mbusizwe, at Genesis Maternity Clinic. We loved the service and bedside manner of the staff and midwives and knew we would definitely be back for the birth of our second son, Mziwanda. …

  • Post-partum shedding came in with a bang this time around. . With Mbusi it wasn’t so bad, but this time around it was hairline issues, patches here and there and dryness I’ve never known before. It’s almost a year later and only now I’m starting to see positive results in the interventions I’ve been trying. Pregnancy comes with so many ailments, we tend to think they’ll all be done once baby is out. But then we forget and do it again a few years later, we’re such suckers for punishment, 🙆🏽‍♀️but these little people make it worth it. What’s the worst post-partum issue you’ve had to deal with? . . . . . . #blacksouthafricanmomblog #africanmomblog #southafricanmomblog #samomblog #pregnancy #postpartum #postpartumshedding #naturalhair #teamnatural #jamaicanblackcastoroil #hairlinerestoration #blacklioness #lifestyleblog

  • I forgot my breast milk storage bags at home when we had a #shortleft for my birthday recently, so my water bottle had to do . That’s the sacrifice we have to make sometimes. I can’t just relax and not pump, because then your body receives the signal that you don’t need that missed feed, and therefore produces less breast milk the next time around at that time slot. This is usually why when us working moms attempt to feed baby over the weekend, he’s frustrated at the breast because we haven’t pumped during the work day during the week. Always remember that breast feeding is supply and demand. Keep your supply up by pumping when away from baby, every 3 hours if possible. I wasn’t as consistent that weekend but I came home with almost a litre so it wasn’t too bad.

  • May we continue to make a concerted effort into preserving our cultures and heritage through passing it onto the next generation. . It’s not just about dressing up to show your pride in your culture, but instilling those same values, customs and traditions in our little ones. Enjoy that bonding time over a lekker braai today hoor! . . . . . . #heritageday #braaiday #southafricanholiday #traditions #customs #values #culture #heritageday2020 #blacklioness #samomblog #southafricanmommyblogger #lifestyleblog #proudlysouthafrican
  • #NewBlogPost. Sta-so-fro is empowering women by offering debt relief to 20 women to the value of R200 000! The lockdown has affected so many women’s livelihoods and income, which mostly impacts the families and communities we live in too. The debt relief is in the form of tuition, bond/rent assistance and vehicle installment assistance. Isn’t that fab?! . Last year I attended their #WearYou event, as round as I was, which focused on the celebration of the multifaceted nature of women. This year they are giving back to those same women through this initiative, aptly called #ItsOnUs. Find out how you can participate and win through the link in my bio ❤️ . . . . . . #stasofro #stasofrowearyouambassador #wearyou #versastyle #itsonus #womenempowerment #imbokodo #blacklioness #samomblog #southafricanmomblog #mommyblogger #africanmomblog #southafricanlifestyleblog #blacksouthafricanmomblog
  • Fatherhood is a gift that more than 50% of South African children do not get to enjoy. Today, we are taking our hats off to the men that made the conscious decision to love and support their families. No, we are not celebrating fish for swimming, we are presenting our heartfelt gratitude to the partners that could have chosen not to do it, but heeded the calling and are riding this rollercoaster with us. Moving from one child to two has been quite the adjustment, and knowing that I have a hands on partner who believes in parenting and not “baby sitting” makes all the difference. It was once said “be the kind of father who’s kids run to at the end of the day, even when there’s nothing in your hands”. We love you daddy ❤️ . . . . . . #fatherappreciation #fatherhood #blacklioness #blackmomblog #samomblog #mommyblogger #africanmomblog #southafricanmomblog #momofboys #dadofboys #TheBlackDadMatters #blacksouthafricanmomblog
  • A birthday girl . If there’s anything I’m grateful for this past year, is good health and the gift of waking up the next day. I don’t feel any older, but I know I’m wiser and more appreciative of the little things. It’s been a long year and Gods grace has sometimes been the only thing holding everything together. Here’s to a new chapter ❤️💃🏽🍾 Let there be gin! . . . . . #birthdaygirl #virgo #blacklioness #southafricanmomblog #samomblog #blackmomblog #africanmomblog #blacksouthafricanmomblog
