Earthy Births

Nothing like a beautiful, blissful Halloween baby.....proud to Doula an amazing birth center birth this afternoon and still make it home to trick o treat with my babies!!!!!

Heading to bed early! I have a mama due any day now....my intuition is usually pretty good about birth - kinda feeling like I may get a call in the middle of the night! I know this Mama is READY to meet her sweet little, so I sure hope I get that call!!!!! G'night!

Great home visit with a very neat couple this evening. I am excited about this birth - it is always so neat and exciting to work with Yoga moms! This will be my first birth, also, at this birth center!!!

Welcome to the world, Baby H! Quick labors don't always equal easy labors. Your Mommy worked so very hard to bring you earthside 100% natural!!!!

Waiting on a beautiful baby boy to join the world earthside! This baby is nice and cozy in his Mamas baby, so who knows! (who ever knows with natural childbirth!?!?). Excited!!!!

Happy Mothers Day to all my EarthyBirths Mamas - especially those of you that were blessed this past year with a little one and this is your first Mothers Day. Enjoy the love today & always....

Cute blog. What was your top reason for hiring a doula, if you used (are using) one? For me...I knew I needed the support that another trained woman could provide me and my husband....and she was worth her weight in gold - both times! :)

Often times a Pedi will be quick to tell a mom to supplement because of 'low supply'..the breast is an amazing thing that usually responds to demand. However, when it does not, and baby is thriving, there are MANY things a mom can try before supplementing - if that is her goal...love Dr. Jack Newman.

Herbal Remedies for Milk Supply Newman Breastfeeding Clinic & Institute offers a wealth of free online resources for breastfeeding mothers as well as health care professionals. You can also order Books, DVD's and other resources in the online store

Interesting article and I had some mixed feelings reading it, but overall, I am left to feel so blessed that I was able to legally homebirth my daughter - safely, blissfully, peacefully in our home surrounded by the most amazing women and my hubby. Birth options - all options - should be accessible to all!

Advocacy: What Legalizing Home Birth Can Do for All of Us | Being Pregnant Why we need to legalize home birth in all states to improve birth outcomes for all women.

Thinking about a home visit that I had with a very fun couple over the weekend and getting exciting about what I know will be an amazing birth for this wonderful family!!!!!
