Can Labor Be Pleasurable?

"Labor"...........even the word sounds daunting, 

Yet some women report transformative even ecstatic experiences of pleasure while "laboring".

How is this possible?

Learn about the "pleasurable" hormones that come into play, and how to tap in.

Not a trick..........just education.

HypnoBirthing:Want to Learn More? PREGINI PLAYHOUSE!

March 18th Pelvic Health-Pregini Playhouse Area Yoga

March 11th Our Prenatal Education Series Continues after the 7pm Prenatal Yoga Class

Our Education Series Continues: "Riding the Emotional Rollercoaster of Pregancy"

Pregnancy can be like pms on steriods, and perhaps they are chemically they're akin.......

Personally, this is one of my favorite coping mechanisms. It's called, "Reclining Ostrich.

Anywhere at any given time, something can trigger a deep emotional response from the expectant mother, that she totally did not expect. Add to that identity changes, stress about the future, moving, and the concerns of the pregnancy itself. Oh did I mention, your body is not your own? It's no wonder that simple function is challenged, and emotional stability precarious.

Want to talk about it? Want to share your experiences with other moms also in your boat? Would you like to hear the suggestions of a knowledgable, experienced, and supportive professional. Then come on out Tuesday evening, to our Education Series, when our presenter, Flora Morgolis, Well-being Therapist, will address the subject of Your Emotional Well Being During Pregnancy. Flora will engage the group in questions and discussion, and teach and lead us through a few perception shifts and coping skills.

Just Sayin...........

Long Island College Hospital...................always was an average/good hospital. It had a decent maternity ward. And a pediatric emergency room! So valuable! What's up?  You would think they-the real estate/govermental/powers would get on board with the community.......anyway, the governor just said it was up for grabs, but any development would have to include a health care component.....(Link) I'm not much of a community activist but, do you know how close the next closest hospital is? Here's a post from a while ago....

Crazy Or Just Nuts?

One of the top news stories this morning is nuts! For a number of reasons......The new news is that pregnant women can and should eat nuts again. I didn't even know that nuts had been blacklisted.

Nuts are fantastic! They are an invaluable source of iron, calcium, and all the minerals you and your baby need. And they are concentrated, meaning that you do not need to eat volumes, you can consume them in small or medium size snack portions, making them an excellent choice when even a small meal  feels difficult to digest.

Apparently nuts were declared fooda non grata when the AMA started studies to explain the spike in peanut and tree nut allergies in children. And the first place to which they pointed their studies was pregnant mothers who consumed nuts during pregnancy. Obviously, these were women who themselves were non-allergic. The new study actually proves just the opposite. That non-allergic women who consumed nuts during pregnancy had children who were less likely to develop peanut and tree nut allergies.

Here are links to articles:
CNN:Study: Eating nuts during pregnancy may reduce baby's allergy risk
CBS: Eating nuts during pregnancy may lower chid's chance of peanut allergy
JAMA: The Study

So between studies, the first with unreliable and scant information, and this new improved more trustworthy study, the warning against nut consumption and a semi-official ban on nuts was promoted by doctors and perpetuated along the pregnant grapevine. So sad. And nuts!

Firstly, How often does the AMA reverse itself? Often. Secondly, these studies take decades to amass clinical evidence, while negative publicity goes out in a second, and the AMA releases hypotheses and the fact that they are conducting a study as though the study has proved itself.....and they do this as  news releases. Thirdly, doctors either read or have heard about these unreliable studies and "authoritarianly" spread the advice. And Fourthly, pregnant women who are one of the most vulnerable targets of studies, either as the cause of something or the ultimate preventers of something are held hostage to their desires to do the best for their baby....to the detriment of actual true nutrition.

If you are concerned about any food item. ....if your doctor has said this or that......If another pregnant woman has said, "Well, I heard............."
My advice: Do your own research and make your own self-educated decisions. There is a plethora of resources available to you. You can inform yourself with information, with personal experience, and with instinct. You can synthesize all three and you can have your own path. You also can be respectful of your fellow pregini and not spread heresay as fact, but encourage her own self education and even team up to collect information together.

Disclaimer: Please do not think that I am anti-doctor, or do not trust doctors. Quite the contrary, I say, "Make sure you have a doctor that you can trust, that you like, and that you feel postive about."

Come to our Meet-Up, Thursday, January 9th. The subject will be: "Iron: Preventing Anemia During Pregnancy". Almonds are high on the list!

The Most Popular Baby Shower Gift

Every morning I awake to an email from my favorite Listserve Brooklyn Heights Parents, a Yahoo Group (link to join). A funny For Sale posting from a Brooklyn mom-to-be caught my eye: FS:Snotsucker.  As the post went on to say she had already purchased one and received four at her baby shower. I asked to purchase two. She visited me at my office at Area Yoga, on Montague St, so we could become acquainted. I was treated to a delightfully enchanting ninth month pregini (my word for pregnant lady) who filled out the story.
"I opened opened one after the other. It was like invasion of The Snotsuckers!!!"

Why I Like This Book.....

Click pic

Because "Every woman is different".
 It would be true to say that as women in North America much of our lives is spent in the pursuit of individuality and self expression. Yet, when it comes to pregnancy, labor, and giving birth we would like to fit into a standard predicted process called "normal".
When it comes to birthing the spectrum of normal is wide and varied.  Our process is governed by forces both within and beyond our control, and we would like it to be a healthy  experience no matter our setting, our choice of comfort management or our own concerns as to what is happening.
So many labor questions are answered with, "Every woman is different".
It is one thing to intellectually nod and hypothetically agree, but  you will have quite a different orientation to this statement after reading 131 pages of over 70 birthstories, each account as unique and special as the mother, baby, and family involved.
That is the effect that Part One of Ina May's Guide To Childbirth is having on me. The effect is the replacement of the hope that "my" birthing will be the "easiest", "most natural", "most convenient", "most incredible experience" with the knowledge that I am in for an uncontrollable unique roller coaster ride as individual as I am and as my baby will be.
While my story will be special and unlike any other, like all other moms who have birthed before me,  I will cope, understand, and agree to nature's power and will give birth.
Even though these stories are written by women who have given birth on Ina May's Midwifery Farm and involve little "medical" intervention, I believe this shift in understanding that "Every woman is different" can still be achieved for all women giving birth no matter your choice of settings, hospital, birthing center or home.  In fact,  even more so.
We have come to our own choice of birthplace setting. We have informed ourselves about comfort options, and we have educated ourselves as to the controlable variables.
And now, let the individuality begin!
Please note: Brooklyn Heights Prenatal does not advocate any one style, method or birthsetting, and embraces the beauty of individual choice.

From Our Last Meet-Up, And This Was Only Half The Room

"Comfort During Early Labor" a presentation by Danika Wynn, Childbirth Educator
Last Thursday's Meet-Up saw our biggest group yet, no pun intended. And look! Many partners attended! Danika Wynn delivered an extremely informative presentation. My most impressed takeaways: The 311. When to go to the hospital during a normally progressing labor? When the contractions are three minutes apart, lasting one minute for one hour.

"Dancing To Delivery:   Pregini Labor Prep"
Last Sunday, Brooklyn Heights Prenatal held its first workshop at Area Yoga, Montague St.
This workshop combined prenatal yoga,  birthing ball comforting, and Middle Eastern bellydancing.

Julia Arenson, birth and postpartum doula, prenatal yoga teacher, and professional dancer, not to mention, a compassionate and dedicated person led our treasured preginis on a  journey through pregnancy well- being.

By all accounts, an uplifting success! To be repeated.

From Our Nov 7th Meet-Up

Laura McKenna, Staff Midwife at Woodhull Hospital condensed 4hours of information into a lively and concise 90 minute presentation on "What To Expect In The Hospital". She discussed routine hospital procedure and what you can opt out of and what you can request. She discussed hospital pain management including epidurals.

We were enthralled, engaged and many intelligent questions were asked and answered. In this moment, we were discussing how to know when you are dilating and how much.

"Is there and app for that?"
