I...I really want to see the business of being born. I've heard it's awesome. I have been reading the Gift of Giving Life. Seriously, it's amazing. You should totally read it. It's brand new. It's written by LDS doctors/doulas/nurses whatever about the divinity of birth and our callings as mothers. I'm about halfway through it right now and I love it. One of my favorite things about it is that it talks about your birth being a spiritual experience, which I had never even thought of!

I got BAD pp depression and couldn't fathom living. After I finally listened to a friend I got deer placenta, and literally in 4 days it was gone. I had to keep taking it for maintenance, to 'cultivate jing' energy, but now take he shou wu and schizandra ( other herbs). I could rave for hours about how grateful I am to be alive and the difference I felt after taking the placenta.Elizabeth Kelsey Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00503002844966618849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201418220091522177.post-66558188272830298332012-05-12T05:55:48.969-06:002012-05-12T05:55:48.969-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00318807179427505894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201418220091522177.post-87274413046814338872012-05-12T05:55:44.997-06:002012-05-12T05:55:44.997-06:00You also neeeed to read "Creating Your Birth ...You also neeeed to read "Creating Your Birth Plan" by Marsden Wagner. It's a great book to read that helps you write down exactly what you're hoping for, which is especially important since you're giving birth in a hospital. Even though you have a midwife, s/he still has to follow hospital regulations--which includes inducing or augmenting your labor if you have "failure to progress" within THEIR time frame.

I wish they had more midwife-assisted hospital births in Austin. I'll have to figure out what I want to do for a next baby. <br /><br />It is really amazing to me to see how babies flourish in all sorts of environments (like, Babywise made me want to throw up, but I have many dear friends with very good babies who swore by it and think it's the Bible. So clearly it worked for them). It really is so individual, I think. <br /><br />And a big amen to Healthy Sleep Habits.Janssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178196211079230972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201418220091522177.post-36358133787207496282012-05-11T20:33:09.592-06:002012-05-11T20:33:09.592-06:00I love love love it when I see someone going a mor...I love love love it when I see someone going a more natural route for their birthing experience.

A friend just gave birth in her home with a midwife and doula, and she also had her placenta encapsulated. After talking with her about her experience (and even watching the birth video!), I am blown away by how taking that route just made her more calm and excited about the birth. She was never nervous, afraid of pain, or concerned about what might go wrong. I am so excited to hear about your experience!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17132344219518255583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201418220091522177.post-36005409320348571732012-05-11T17:21:30.174-06:002012-05-11T17:21:30.174-06:00I am all for doing natural births, but I am glad y...I am all for doing natural births, but I am glad you are doing it in the hospital, where there are doctors present if needs be. I just had my first baby, and if we had done it at home, both my baby and I would not have survived. Good luck with everything! I want to take a look at those pills, I had no idea you could do that!

The breathing techniques are extremely helpful, and the soft touch massage really does wonders (like, I had a completely painless contraction during my home-birth because of it.)crissy // mama bosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988909961418937385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201418220091522177.post-71485790843502320482012-05-11T15:10:04.750-06:002012-05-11T15:10:04.750-06:00i had a natural birth in a hospital and although i...i had a natural birth in a hospital and although i used a doctor, i also had a doula and it rocked. it so was NOT as bad as everyone says and immediately afterwards i felt uh-mazing! good luck! ps:the business of being born was one of my faves as well as birthing from within :)Meredith Tuttlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02715262566394911594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201418220091522177.post-22186168251417226622012-05-11T15:07:31.209-06:002012-05-11T15:07:31.209-06:00Beautifully written.
