I was fighting off a cold all week long. I was still able to do all the mom things I had to do. I attended a Baby Shower Wed. night, Karate graduation Thursday night, Blue and Gold Dinner Friday night. I was exhausted, but did it all. I fell into bed Friday night, thinking if

Pitocin is such a powerful drug and should be used with care. I always encourage my doula clients who are being induced that they should request that the pitocin be upped VERY slowly and then stop upping it when the pressure waves start. Just let your body take over at that point. When a mom

There are some benefits of nationalized health care. The government can have more of an impact on health outcomes. But I only see it benefiting countries where they want to save money! I imagine in America the ACOG would want more cesareans, so their Obstetricians could make more money. I was excited to see this

Carson just came up to me and said, “Mom, what are you doing?” Me: Reading about Breastfeeding. (I was reading a great post on Rixa’s blog about breastfeeding sabatoge kits) Carson: Cool. What is that? Me: A statue of a pregnant woman. Carson: Cool, maybe one day I could make a statue of a pregnant

So this is totally cool and random. A Hypnobabies mom was on the news in Georgia. I found out about it and went to see the clip. Apparantly my birth video on You Tube inspired her to try Hypnobabies. So they showed a clip of my birth video as part of the news segment. My

I have a thing about doctors scaring moms about their potential “big baby”. It is really hard to judge by ultrasound. I have a whole page of Big Baby Bull here. I need to add a link to this story. A mom had a 12 pound 9 ounce baby girl vaginally. Everything went smoothly. Mom
