• Life-The Beginning, Middle and End

  
  Mommy of Many — Authority: 118
  The circle of life has been on my mind a lot lately. I have a friend who’s getting ready to deliver her first baby and she’s so excited, scared, frustrated and ready to meet her little one. I remember what that feels like-how the end of the pregnancy comes and it’s all a big guessing game. You’re never sure ...

  The Beginning of Motherhood — Authority: 118
  This post comes from a question about positions during the pushing stage of labor.

So, if thats the case, what position can you push in? ...

• Birth is a Journey: Does it have to be life changing?

  
  Enjoy Birth Blog — Authority: 423
  I think the answer depends. Think about 3 different women who want to come to America. One woman might have to climb on an overfilled boat, risking her life and nearly dying as she escapes over the ocean to come to this land.  This experience could certainly be life altering.  It may very well color the rest of ...

  Enjoy Birth Blog — Authority: 423
  It is very important to be able to move around during your birth.  It helps you stay more comfortable and helps your baby to be born more easily. Some moms worry that if they use hypnosis they will have to stay laying down and in a trance to use hypnosis.  There are some hypnosis for childbirth programs that ...

• Unassisted Birth: A Father’s Experience

  
  Saving Gas — Authority: 162
  There’s been some very negative coverage of unassisted homebirths that ended in tragedy recently, so I’d love to share one of our homebirth stories with you to show the other side of giving birth unassisted. For those unfamiliar with the term , it refers to giving birth without a midwife, doula, or other medical ...

• Taye Diggs on Jimmy Kemmel

  
  Woman to Woman Childbirth Education — Authority: 426
  I enjoyed watching this interview — quite humorous.For us birth junkies, the most interesting part will be in the middle, starting about 2:45 or so, where he segues from talking about Taye Diggs’ character as a doctor (Kimmel asked if he’d delivered a baby) to being there when his son was born. They discussed ...

• Choose wisely!

  
  Enjoy Birth Blog — Authority: 423
  Care providers can make or break a birth experience.  Asking questions long before the birth can help you determine what they are wanting to do and what they are able to provide. I had a client who shared her birth plan, the OB balked and said, “Sounds like you want a midwife.”  I saw this as a great escape for ...
