• Do Doula’s benefit the Dad?

  
  Enjoy Birth Blog — Authority: 124
  Dad, you may wonder why a mom needs a doula if they are going to be there.  Eoulas are as much for you as they are for the mom! My DH said after Bryson’s birth, “Why didn’t we have a doula for all our births?”  He LOVED having a doula.  Often dads are the biggest proponents of doulas once they have ...

• Waterbirth: What’s In The Water?

  
  Better Health — Authority: 543
  By Dr. Amy Tuteur Waterbirth has been touted as an alternative form of pain relief in childbirth. Indeed, it is often recommended as the method of choice for pain relief in “natural” childbirth. It’s hardly natural, though. In fact, it is completely unnatural. No primates give birth in water, because ...

• Continuous Support During Birth is Golden

  
  Enjoy Birth Blog — Authority: 124
  I think this can be something that really makes or breaks a birth experience.  Having an informed, supportive birth partner is so helpful for you to stay focused and believe in your ability to birth her baby the way you want to!  Often the Dad is a great choice for this role.  Most dads want to be there ...

• Life-The Beginning, Middle and End

  
  Mommy of Many — Authority: 115
  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 ...

• So what position should I be in anyways?.....

  
  The Beginning of Motherhood — Authority: 116
  This post comes from a question about positions during the pushing stage of labor. In one of my previous posts http://thebeginningofmotherhood.blogspot.com/2009/02/emergency-pain-control.html , I mentioned how you should not give birth laying on your back. 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: 124
  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: 124
  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 ...
