About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

What to Give a Sibling When a New Baby is Born Nov 30th 2012, 09:11 When you have a baby, you often don't think about the new baby as a gift giving event for most part, but it's a great way to celebrate the older child as becoming an older brother or sister. The problem is, there are good presents to give, and not so great presents to give. Here is a quick list of what you shouldn't give: Noisy toys (drum, toy guitar, electronic toy with no shut off, etc.) Things that take parental supervision Things that are hazardous to the new baby That may sound like its about everything possible, though the truth is there are several things you can give that are not only fun for the child, but are safe for the new baby.  Here's my list of gifts to give a new sibling.

About Pregnancy & Childbirth: Sleep Positioners Implicated in Infant Deaths

About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

Sleep Positioners Implicated in Infant Deaths Nov 29th 2012, 10:10 The CDC is reporting on infant deaths from the infant sleep positioners. These are typically foam inserts for the cribs of infants used to ensure that they don't roll over. They can be purchased or handed down. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) also has a short video on how these can be dangerous. Remember, nothing in the crib but your baby. No toys. No bumpers. And no sleep positioners.

About Pregnancy & Childbirth: Babywearing has come a long way!

About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

Babywearing has come a long way! Nov 27th 2012, 09:49 This is the photo I took this weekend at my local Target store. I was flabbergasted to realize how many babywearing options they now offered. When I had my first baby, nearly 21 years ago, there were so few options. And they options that they did have were hard to find and even harder to use. As I've had my other kids, I've noticed along the way the mom-to-mom sharing of babywearing finds. What works and what didn't as well as shopping tips and tricks.  Finding all of this available at a mainstream store like Target, only goes to show you just how normalized babywearing is becoming in the United States.  Way to go! So what's your babywearing favorite? Related: Infant Carrier Choices Reviews of Baby Carriers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Join the conversation!

About Pregnancy & Childbirth: More Studies Needed on Sterile Water Injections

About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

More Studies Needed on Sterile Water Injections Nov 26th 2012, 08:37 One non-drug methods of dealing with back labor that has been becoming more popular because of the perceived lack of risks, due to the fact that is does not contain medications that could be passed along to baby, are sterile water injections. These are four small injections of sterile water placed on the lower back, just under the skin during labor. When I have seen this done, on multiple occasions in many settings, I see moms reporting that it really stings for a minute and then not only does the stingy go away, but the pain in the lower back goes away.  This allows mom to deal with only the contractions and not the added pain of the back ache. The Cochrane Database finally took a look at what the research is out there for the Sterile Water Injections and found, well, not much of anything. I assumed that they would call for more studies, but they really didn't find much of anything, good or bad. Anyone up for a trial of sterile papule injections at your facility or practice? What's your experience been with this technique? Related: Managing Back Labor Occiput Posterior Position of Baby Labor Positions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

About Pregnancy & Childbirth: Didn't Know She Was Pregnant

About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

Didn't Know She Was Pregnant Nov 25th 2012, 19:37 I had to laugh, literally out loud, when I saw the contest Jill from Baby Rabies is running called the Inappropriate Elf Contest.  For some background, the Elf on a Shelf is designed as a way to encourage your child to behave in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Every day, you move the elf so that you can prove to your child that Santa is watching his or her every movement. While some want to argue cute or creepy about the elf, others don't pay much attention at all. But as a way to keep parents laughing about this tradition, came the pregnancy inspired inappropriate elf, straight from the I Didn't Know I was Pregnant TV show. So was it too many frosted cookies or simply a delayed period that caused this misunderstanding? Once the kids go to bed, head on over and check this out for yourself. Perhaps you've got a naughty little elf in your home!

About Pregnancy & Childbirth: Use Waze to Find Your Best Hospital Route

About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

Use Waze to Find Your Best Hospital Route Nov 25th 2012, 11:56 I've talked about finding your way to the hospital before when you're in labor. It usually involves finding the fastest route, or at least the usually fastest route. But now there is a social media GPS app called Waze that might be of assistance when it comes time for that potentially tricky drive. Personally, where I live, there are a couple of hospitals that have periods of time during the week or even seasonally, that make them more difficult to get to than others. Waze uses normal GPA functions to select routes but also tells you what's up along each route because of user input, other Waze users. So rather than risk that mad dash to to the hospital and pick the shortest drive with the longest wait, you can now have the foresight to know which route really is the fastest. The above images are two various screen shots, one showing you different routes (right) available, and one asking you if you're ready to go after pre-selecting the shortest route. Have you tried it yet? What other apps and tricks are you using?

About Pregnancy & Childbirth: My doctor won't let me...

About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

My doctor won't let me... Nov 24th 2012, 19:27 I've been mulling around this phrase for awhile now, trying to figure out how to talk about it, "My doctor won't let me..." I heard it recently from someone in a childbirth class I was teaching in regard to letting the baby come when labor started on its own. The sad fact is that this isn't the first time I've heard it uttered, nor is it the most recent, nor will it be the last. The Guggie Daily talked about this today in terms of a controlling birth attendant. While most of us don't want to think of the person that we've hired to help us have our baby as controlling, the sad fact is that most of the birth attendants out there, doctors and midwives, can behave this way. And we let them. Yes, we actively hire people to boss us around. Can you imagine if our car mechanic talked to us that way? "I might let you change the air filter, but do you really know how long it's been since you've changed it?" The grocer: "Do you need more milk and bread? Didn't you just buy some last week?" The baker: "Chocolate cake? I don't care if it's the favorite in your family, we only serve vanilla around here, with orange filling." It may sound really over done and goofy, but essentially it's the same concept. But wait, you say, "We're hiring someone who has expertise in assuring our safety, shouldn't we listen to what they say and then do it?" Absolutely, if what they are saying is evidence based, individualized and well thought through. I think when you start hearing things like this, it ceases to apply: "I always induce everyone who we think has a big baby." "No one goes past 40 weeks in this practice." "But we've always done it this way and it's fine, no matter what the research says." Now, before you think I'm telling you to revolt and fire your practitioner, I'm not (Though you could decide that was in your best interest.). What I am saying is try to find someone who is supportive of you being a partner in your care. Ideally this happens when you choose your practitioner early on, before you're pregnant or just after. You find someone who can show you what the evidence says, help you weigh options that are best for you and pertain to you and your baby, as well as someone who can adequately provide that safety net without it being a one size fits all. If you have a lot of issues with your practitioner, there are things you can do: Talk to them and explain what's important to you and why. Share your research with them. Discuss alternatives and options with them that help satisfy both of you. Don't be afraid to get a second opinion. What won't your doctor let you do?  (And what are you going to do about it?)

About Pregnancy & Childbirth: Don't be too rigid.

About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

Don't be too rigid. Nov 23rd 2012, 13:55 I just read a pregnancy book that offered this as advice when it came to considering natural childbirth. It occurred to me as I read it, as I have before, that we never say this about women who are adamant about using pain medication. It would never be uttered to a mom who said she was thinking about using an epidural to not be too rigid in her planning - why is that? Obviously, about 60% of moms are using epidurals for labor pain relief, so it would be more socially normal in some situations, particularly in areas where that number is higher. But that said, wouldn't this advice be just plan great advice for all pregnant women? Certainly there are reasons why you might want, but not receive, an epidural. Though the same is true for moms who want to go without medications and decide that medication is the appropriate response to their labor. My advice? Everyone needs some flexibility when it comes to labor. Don't tell moms who want to avoid meds they may change their minds, just as you shouldn't tell moms who say they do want to have medications that it will absolutely happen that way. Parenting is about flexibility, labor should be too. Having some idea of what tools you might use is always a good idea, but back up plans area a great idea, just like that extra set of baby clothes in the diaper bag...

About Pregnancy & Childbirth: The Last Thanksgiving Before Baby

About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

The Last Thanksgiving Before Baby Nov 22nd 2012, 08:15 I remember very clearly that Thanksgiving twenty years ago when I was 38 weeks pregnant and some change.  It was a quiet day.  My husband and I made a small feast and enjoyed it in peace and quiet.  We spent much of the day in reflection about, now only how thankful we were for our healthy baby-to-be, but thinking about how our lives were about to radically change. I can't even begin to articulate that change to you.  You can talk about sleepless nights, but it doesn't capture the quality of exhaustion that you feel as a new parent.  I can talk about the depth of love that you can feel for your newborn baby, but how do you describe the smell of the back of a newborn's head or the feel of the soft fuzzy hair on your lips?  There isn't anything else like it. So today, as you're sitting here waiting for your bundle of joy, be that next week, next year or even if your baby is a mere sparkle in your eye, sit back and take a minute to reflect on the pure joy about to head your way.  Think about where you've been to get to where you are today and how you plan to get to where you're going. Have an amazingly wonderful Thanksgiving! And leave me a comment about what you're reflecting on today...

People basically post a daily post on something that they are thankful for every day, all month. I have a slightly different tradition on Facebook and my friends laugh, but I though we could combine the days of thankfulness with my haiku throw down. The rules are simple, I pick a topic, in this case thankfulness surrounding pregnancy, birth, kids, breastfeeding; and you write a haiku in the comments.  Go! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

Save Money on Your Taxes by Pregnancy Related Charitable Giving Nov 19th 2012, 09:00 There are a lot of worthy organizations who are asking for money, particularly as the end of the year comes up for tax benefits. If you are looking to donate your money to a pregnancy or breastfeeding related organization, consider some of the following (a small sample): Best for Babes La Leche League US Breastfeeding Committee March of Dimes International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN) Childbirth Connection Midwives and Mothers in Action (MAMA Campaign) Moms Rising It's also realistic to say that not all of us have even $10 a year to donate to any cause, no matter how worthy.  That said, many of these organizations also have the need for volunteers.  Even if you don't have cash to give, consider asking what you can do to help an organization that speaks to your heart. Use the comments section to add your favorite baby and birth related charities! (Be sure to check the rules and regulations with your tax adviser.)

About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

Something to keep in mind at prenatal visits this week... Nov 18th 2012, 17:53 If you are due in the next few weeks and your doctor or midwife offers you an induction so that you can be home with your baby and eating turkey by Thursday afternoon, remember, this is considered an elective induction and carries greater risk for your baby and your labor than waiting for spontaneous labor. This can include a higher risk of your baby being in the neonatal intensive care (NICU), fetal distress, cesarean section or other complications of induction and potential prematurity. The vast majority of moms and babies do much better waiting for the baby to signal that he or she is ready to be born when there is an absence of complications. Now, that is something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
