"I receive A LOT of questions about Homebirth and why I'm choosing it. At times, fears and doubts get triggered because this will be my first childbirth experience.

"Could I really cope with the 'pain'?"

There is a collective fear in our society in regards to pain, which is why it is so common for medication during birth that in reality comes with a price. A chain of complications could potentially arise; therefore, medical intervention deemed necessary. When all one needs to do is get the FEAR out of the MIND and get the MIND out of the WAY to let a woman's body do what it was MADE TO DO...

My mind and emotional body may feel fragile when I'm questioned for my choice in Homebirth as vulnerability and tenderness is a part of my process of self-compassion and -acceptance. Then I remember ALL the beautiful, empowering information that I've been learning along my journey that has been a guiding force. And I'm reminded that THIS is why I chose to take maternity leave sooner than later. Because THIS is the time to go DEEPER into my practice of relaxation, yoga, deep breathing, BEing. There are many relaxation techniques I've been learning that will aid my "coping" with the transformational "pain" I will undergo. I just have to have more faith in and love for the Mama that is about to birth.

"THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERCEPTUAL PROGRAMMING of the subconscious mind occurs from birth through age six. During that time, the child’s brain is recording all sensory experiences as well as learning complex motor programs for speech, crawling, standing, and advanced activities like running and jumping. Simultaneously, the child’s sensory systems are fully engaged, downloading massive amounts of information about the world and how it works."

I felt this was so important to share because I know many new doula can experience a quick burn out! I was there and have learned these tips not only support me better but the mother as well. Please share with your community!

As a Doula, you are the guardian of the energy around her. You are her protector, her nurturer, her sister. Tune into mama’s subtle cues. Some mothers are very clear about what they need (water, massage, visualization) while other mothers are in a trance/zone where they may not want anything than j...

Starting around 30 weeks I questioned the position of my baby. I asked three of the midwives at three different ...

One BIG reason that gentle, responsive parenting is so vital during the first years of a baby's life.

Wanting to learn more? A fantastic book on this subject written by a neuroscientist is "Why Love Matters" http://astore.amazon.com/peacefparent-20/detail/1583918175

Note: The brain develops most rapidly during night time hours -- another reason that night time nursing and being secure and safe near mom is so important when the sun goes down. When babies are not fed or are left to 'cry it out', their brains do not eat and their cortisol levels (stress hormones) spike, not allowing normal development to take place.
