Many moms experience morning sickness during their first trimesters. I recommend Marilyn Shannon’s short book: Managing Morning Sickness. You can get it from the Couple to Couple League’s website. She believes that vitamins, such as B12 and B6 help. Also, keeping your blood sugar even. Her booklet is easy to read and very helpful. Don’t suffer! Get help!
A fifteen-year-old girl took a short bit from an Eddie Izzard concert and animated it. Here is a link to the result. I think this girl did a wonderful job of animation. See for yourself! Very funny!
Ina May Gaskin talks about your cervix as a sphincter that opens with privacy and relaxation. Birthology recently quoted Ina May and also added a short video of her speaking about the benefits of kissing during labor and the benefits of privacy for your cervical sphincter. A woman’s cervix should be respected. The more privacy and relaxation a woman is given, the easier and more painless her birth can be.
During labor, we doulas often gently remind a mother to relax her jaw and open her mouth. Birth is about her opening her body to ease her baby out.
Due to a family emergency, the Strip District’s June La Leche League meeting is cancelled. We will not meet this Wednesday, June first. Instead, I hope to see you July 6th at 11:30 AM for our next meeting. Until then, be well and enjoy your babies!
