Must-Know Info for Natural Birth Mamas
One of the biggest childbirth fears is tearing while you push your baby out. Unfortunately, most hospitals increase the risk. Here’s what you need to know: Risk Booster 1: No Prenatal Education The first steps to prevent tearing happen during pregnancy. If nobody is talking to you about that, you miss the window!

So, I told them I’d be consistent with corrections… and if we can make using these skills a habit, we’ll take a trip to Great Wolf Lodge in April. My part of that bargain: be consistent with corrections AND consistent…

Most women go through pregnancy hoping they don’t develop a complication. After all, doctors make it sound like it’s just bad luck – they may need to step in and save you! Here’s the truth: OBs are just like other doctors – they focus “the cure” and NOT on prevention: Doctors don’t go to medical school to learn preventative health. What happens in the OB office tends to run decades behind the research. Ethical considerations block some pregnancy research: Doctors who rely on large research studies don’t find papers that convince them. Many don’t consider holistic approaches from alternative studies at all. Our culture has an overall toxic attitude towards…
