Olive Tree Birth

Olive Tree Birth A doula for you! Modern medicine has made birth safe, but in many cases it has lost the human touch.

A healthy baby and mother is obviously the most important requirement for a good birth, but that's only the beginning of a great birth! Your healthcare provider brings the medicine and safety to your birth, your partner brings the love and knowledge of you, and your doula brings experience, comfort, continuous support for both you and your partner, and guidance to navigate potential snags.

Mechanisms of twinning. IV. S*x preference and ... [J Reprod Med. 2001] - PubMed - NCBI

Interesting tidbit I stumbled across today: If you conceive while you're still breastfeeding, you're much, much more likely to have twins. One study put it as 11.4% vs the normal 1.1%.

PubMed comprises more than 21 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Citations may include links to full-text content from PubMed Central and publisher web sites.

Mother, O’ Mother, come shake out your cloth,
Empty the dustpan, poison the moth.
Hang out the washing, make up the bed,
Sew on a button and butter the bread.

Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She’s up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.

Oh, I’ve grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,
Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo.
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due,
Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek - peekaboo.

The shopping’s not done and there’s nothing for stew,
And out in the yard there’s a hullabaloo.
But I’m playing Kanga and this is my Roo.
Look! Aren’t his eyes the most wonderful hue?
Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo.

The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow,
But children grow up, as I’ve learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!
I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep.

I'm taking a psychology class in preparation for applying to midwifery school. Came across this bit in my text book--how sweet!

"During the last 16 weeks of pregnancy, mothers read Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat aloud twice a day. Following birth, the researchers had the babies suck on an artificial ni**le that, depending upon the infant’s sucking pattern, would activate a tape of their mother reading the Dr. Seuss story or another story that the mother had never read aloud. Most of the infants sucked to hear The Cat in the Hat. The infants preferred the familiar story that their mothers had read to them while they were still in the womb."

Birthing Beautiful Ideas » Blog Archive » Don’t Call it “False Labor”

"False" labor. Yeah, not the best thing to say to a woman in the midst of prelabor.

And as far as I’m concerned, I’m not too worried or worn out by these 28 hours either. Even when the contractions are strong enough to wake me up during the night. Even as they increase in intensity when I walk.

A very warm thanks to the families who so generously invited me into their births in my first year as a doula. Now on to 2012! Any NYE babies in the works this year?

10 Home Birth Lessons For The Hospital at Being Pregnant

10 Home Birth Lessons For The Hospital at Being Pregnant

In public discourse on the topic of birth there can be so much divisiveness: home VS hospital, epidural VS natural, etc. Though this can cement an opinion for some, many feel confused, as if they need to pick a side.

I made a page! Hurray! I hope everyone likes me. Not that I have a self-esteem problem or anything.
