✨ That moment where 2️⃣ irreparably become 1️⃣. 🥰 The texture and strength of the umbilical cord always catches people off guard! ✅ PRO TIP : I used to tell families that cutting the cord was like sawing through a calamari...but the comparison to food in that moment left more than one dad feeling squeamish. 🤢 Now, I describe it as cutting through an extension cord and that seems to be less traumatic. 😂 What's something that surprised you about umbilical cords?? ⬇️ #doula #midwife #obgyn #birth #yyc #calgary #wearememorycatchers #birthphotography #birthphotographer #umbilicalcord #cuttingthecord #birthtips #placenta #homebirth #waterbirth #birthtips
