Yesterday was my birthday. We had a busy day, but not because of that, it was other stuff. However, when evening time came, we had a nice dinner with family and I guess you could say that was my birthday celebration. Isn’t that what birth is partly about anyway? Becoming a family. I don’t really [...] Read more »
Childbirth | Pregnancy Information – Medical Journals
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 [...] Read more »
Birth Pool Set Up
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 [...] Read more »
I Got My Birthing Pool!
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 [...] Read more »
Tiredness During Pregnancy
It was a rough night last night, so please forgive me if I come across as, tired. Tiredness during pregnancy is fairly common. Reasons for feeling tired vary and the feeling may come and go. For me, the busier I stay, the longer I can go, and the less tired I fell, until my head [...] Read more »

Pregnancy | morning sickness remedies | b-complex
Pregnancy for me isn’t too bad really. I eat well, (Russell makes sure of that), and our kids keep me plenty active. Generally speaking, I feel pretty good. Yes, I need to pee more, I get cranky easier, my back bothers me sometimes (more so with this pregnancy, but for other reasons), and I sleep [...] Read more »
Why I’m Having a Home Birth
I’m going to tell you some reasons why I’m having a home birth. Nobody has to agree with me, and really, home birth is quite likely not for everyone anyway, but I do think it is for many more women than feel have the opportunity. My first childbirth was in the hospital, and really, it [...] Read more »
Inducing Labor part 2
Once again, I’m going to tell you, I do not agree with inducing 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 [...] Read more »
Inducing Labor part 1
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 [...] Read more »
