I am expecting and plan to go natural, so I would like to find other women who have experience that may be able to help me. I am looking for support.
I am interested in a natural birth as well as meeting with those who have had a natural birth.

"I have a few breast feeding questions that hopefully you all can help me with: 1. As of right now my doctor is 100% behind me exclusively breast feeding until 6 months. Why is 6 months the "magical" month? 2. ... MoreAt 6 months can I continue to exclusively breast feed her or do I need to begin to give her more/something else? at this point she is still only feeding on one side at a time, so there is definitely more milk to give. Will I know when I need to give her more? 3. Evelyn is fed on-demand and so we're able to use BF as a form of birth control. anyone else have experience with this? If so, how long were you able to prevent the return of ovulation? Thanks! "
"at my pap last year the doctor did an impromptu biopsy and stitched me up. could this have resulted in some scar tissue?"
"What was the cause for your first section....as I remember it was "failure to progress"? This is almost always cause for a second look. Labors dont' usually fail to progress, it is most often a case of "failure to be patient"...."
"Disclaimer: I am not pregnant I had a section with Evelyn, that definitely was not a part of my birth plan. -I've read that there is more risk with a second section than with a vbac. vbac is definitely the route i'd like to go. ... MoreI was pleased with Dr Taylor and since I'm not pregnant we haven't talked with her about what she feels comfortable/confident doing. I'm curious when I get pregnant again what my options are: -What doctors are comfortable with vbacs? -If i am in the hospital again what options are available to me? will there be more restrictions? -with Evelyn I had my husband and mother-in-law by my side. they were great, but not that vocal. I'm guessing the next time things will be harder, would you suggest hiring someone to be an active labor coach? -Do the midwives as Oschner do homebirths? Is a homebirth a good route with a vbac? Are there doctors/midwives/doulas who would be ok with a home vbac? -what is the ball park cost of a home birth? is any of it covered by insurance? "
"Sounds great. I think I will definitely try to make it."
"I love the Refinery! Another consignment store is Abigail's Best. It used to be on Coursey by Walk-Ons, but it has moved to Old Jefferson Rd/Highway? The Purple Cow off Jones Creek has great stuff too."
"I got "fitted" at destination maternity and they told me I was between an E and F...not so helpful."
