Watch a LIVE homebirth online NOW!

If you haven’t heard yet, Dr. Nancy (Your Birth Coach) is live streaming her homebirth. She’s something like a week over due and I just got the email notification a few hours ago that she has recently started early labor.

I just logged on to watch and it looks like she is baking a cake with her two children.

You can watch two ways: either on her Facebook page (UStream password is naturalbirthrocks) OR on

epidurals and the included interventions

This is an awesome video. Its purpose is to show women just how many interventions are involved with getting an epidural… it’s not just a pain medication, not just a needle in the back. The whole process really ties you to that bed with everything they must place on/in your body.

Two memories of the hospital I CANNOT get over. Help?

I know I just posted about c-sections and sometimes I wonder how much babble about it my readers can handle, but I’ve been meaning to write about these issues for awhile and I wanted to address some of the comments on my last post… so I decided now was a good time for this post. Thanks for putting up with me

I feel I’ve made tremendous progress in dealing with my c-section. I still rant about it on occasion,

Letter to my OB: 1st draft

As most of you know, I had an unnecessary c-section and I’m still dealing with my feelings about it (mainly anger at this point… and still some huge disappointment in myself). Many people have suggested I write a letter to my OB about it. Whether I actually give it to her or not, just writing it will be healing. Most of you also pointed out the fact that I will probably end up writing and re-writing and
