I’ve kind of been in research mode, between everything else I do already. You know what, who am I kidding, I’m always in research mode, but anyway… If you desire to educate yourself about childbirth or pregnancy and you can get online, there is no reason you can’t do so. Lots of perspectives are available [...]

I told you yesterday I’d let you know what my thoughts were after I set up my birth pool. Well, this afternoon, we set it up, and by we, I mean the whole family (the kids were just as excited about it as I was). First off, the kids and I pulled it out of [...]

Whoo-hoo! I got my birthing pool (see previous post). It arrived just a little bit ago and we brought it inside. It really only took 8 days. Wow! I have got to tell you, I felt kind of bad about not ordering from yourwaterbirth.com, but come to find out, by going through birthwithsol.com, it came [...]

Once again, I’m going to tell you, I do not agree withinducing labor unless there is a true medical reason for doing so. I prefer to let nature take it’s course. I have seen nature work thousands of times. However, in our fast paced lives, we are often rushing, and a lot of the time [...]

Labor induction is something that I strongly recommend staying away from. However, it appears to be growing in popularity, for whatever reasons. If you are going to do it, you should at least be informed about it and some of the various options there are. Sometimes there is a medical need for induction. Unfortunately, I [...]
