Introduction

I live in Lafayette and want to get more active politically and educationally. I want the next generation to have the option to birth the way they want to.

What is your interest in natural birth? (Are you interested in having a natural birth, meeting other people who have had a natural birth, working with natural birthers?) Are you looking for hospital-alternative resources?

The c-section rate in the US is truly disturbing to me. The human race wouldn't be here if birth were that unsuccesful. We must create better options for birth.

Are you expecting now? Have you already had a natural birth experience that you wish to share? Are you a birth professional looking to network?

    Alcohol and breastfeeding

    "If I ever drank while bf'ing, I bf'd my baby right before I would have a drink. Sometimes did it WHILE I was having a drink; baby was usually finished by the time I felt the alcohol. I tried to keep drinks "light", like beer...."

    Do you ever not mourn not being pregnant and birthing again?

    "My thing is....I wish I had 3, but I wish I had them now :( I only have 2! I am so jealous (in a good way) of my friends who are already "finished" with 3. To think about starting over at 36 or 37 would be tough...for us!..."

    Kombucha?

    "I know Kombucha was taken off the shelves (not recalled, just for labeling issues b/c it has small amt of alcohol). I can't find it ANYWHERE in Lafayette. Does anyone in Baton Rouge or New Orleans have it???..."

    "You can DO it, Sunny! With a good support system, both online here and hubby and doula, it can happen. Good luck! Oh, I encourage you to take Childbirth Education classes, especially from an independent educator, not at the hospital....

    Hugs,

    LNB, on track or way off course?

    "But we DO! We get MANY responses on this board. When did we ever not? Did you not see the variety of topics we talked about at the labor support meetup? Did we not OPENLY display our love for homebirth at the Midwifery App. Day Picnic?..."

    LNB, on track or way off course?

    "Lets do a poll of the 280 members on here. Was your birth plan honored COMPLETELY in the hospital? Did you feel respected as the decision maker regarding your families care in the hospital?..."
