Dear Jacquie,We've not met, but I just wanted to thank you for my
daughter's birth. I live in Edinburgh, although I'm from Victoria,
B.C, and I stumbled across your blog about a year ago. My son
(who's now 2) was born in hospital: my flat wasn't big enough to
fit a birth pool and 2 midwives, and I hoped I could have a water
birth in hospital instead. In the end, I was induced due to blood
pressure and got a very controlled, restricted labour: I was on my
back, monitored, for the whole thing.When I became pregnant last
spring, your blog was the final inspiration I needed to plan a home
birth. You and Ina May were my encouragement through 4 days of slow
contractions. In the end, though, my beautiful daughter came racing
into the world, one hand over her head, into an empty bathtub. (The
midw...
When science (medicine) reports something that is not even close to
reality, you can bet it is due to the root of all evil: MONEY! This
is true for the Birth Industry in the United States where birth is
managed to make money.
After she had her baby (Charlie, my 800th baby) the other day, this
new mum said, "You know, once you're in it, labour isn't scary! You
just do it!"I have so many clients who have carried the fear of
childbirth with them for years and years. Some even postpone the
event for as long as possible, just because their friends (or
families) have told such horror stories over the years.I tell my
clients that our bodies aren't going to spring something TOTALLY
NEW on us when we're in labour. Birth is something you know!
Contrary to popular belief, labour really feels like period cramps,
low down, way down there, NOT all over your body. And it comes and
goes (unlike period cramps which are continuous and can last for
days). Yes, it gets very strong, but, as long as the birth is
normal and you have ...

post:Popular Drugs Pose Serious Risks When Taken During
PregnancyAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, approximately one in every 33 babies is born with a
birth defect. A disturbing number of these are caused by the use of
dangerous medications during pregnancy, and many can be prevented
through greater awareness and safer practices.Throughout the
history of modern medicine, a number of popular medications have
been linked to serious birth defects and fetal death after they
have been on the market for quite some time. So...

The harms of sexual precocity have seriously endangered the
physical and psychological health of children. The reasons of
causing such a kind of serious phenomenon are rather complex. In
order to avoid sexual precocity, balanced supplementation of
nutrients, clean diet without serious pollutants, and pure growth
environment are rather important.
Now I have a child, one of the things I find really challenging is
receiving gifts (in particular clothes) for my little girl, which
turn out to be useless. This isn't about Wholesale Baby Clothing,
as I want to share my biggest frustrations, especially when others
take the time to shop for baby clothing. Even more important is the
thought that people spent their hard earned money on things that
will never see the light of the day.

The UK's Belfast Telegraph has an interesting report about a new
technology developed by scientists that may hold promise for
reducing the risk of stillbirth. According to the article,
researchers hope to be able to use CCTV (closed-circuit television)
technology to create a wearable mobile monitoring device that would
record the baby's heartbeat and movement patterns, potentially up
to 24 hours a day, and alert the woman or her doctor immediately of
significant changes to the baby's movement pattern that might
indicate a problem....Read Full Post

Promise not to call CPS after reading this post ok?Going a month

left her anywhere, always had an adequate amount of diapers (and
still do thanks to a fabulous diaper cake from my husband's grandma
and aunts), and I seemed to be doing a pretty darn good job,
considering. Where I crossed the line into questionable mothering
skills was during BlogHer.I hadn't planned on partying it up. I'm
much more of a homebody typically, and my idea of a good time is
playing games or chit chatting with friends. So the lists and lists
of parties to hit up wasn't on my BlogHer to-do list. With or
without my baby. But I did get a special invite to a very exclusive
