A birth center birth is NOT a home birth.

I’m sorry but it isn’t. What’s the definition of home? People calling a birth center birth a home birth just isn’t accurate. Now I have nothing against a birth center birth at all.

But it’s still in a building that is set up for transfer to the hospital if needed and has a lot of medical personnel.

It is not home.

So if you say you home birthed in a center it isn’t accurate.

I almost chose a birth center for one pregnancy but I risked out.

The pros
I could leave within hours of birth. There was a tub I could labor in IF my water hadn’t broken. They had real people beds and not hospital beds. It looked just like a nice hotel room. They had all the things such as birth balls, peanut balls, teas.. ect. They allowed you to eat while in labor.

Cons
You couldn’t get in the tub if your water had actually broken. You still have less privacy that at home. It wasn’t your germs at home to get the baby’s microbiome started as soon as entry into this world. You can get risked out pretty easily. You can be mandated to take a birthing class even if it isn’t your first pregnancy.

It is not home.

So when experiencing birth just remember the main focus on birth is to bring forth a new soul onto earth with the least trauma possible.

Your birth story no matter where you are should be a positive one. You should be proud of where you chose to give birth. But at the same time, a birth center birth is not a home birth because it isn’t your home. It’s nowhere near the same experience.

It is essential to use tools during pregnancy and birth when medically necessary, but it's equally important to understand that there are times when medical intervention may not be required.

Researching all available options and obtaining fully informed consent helps ensure the best possible outcome for both mother and child.

The Good The Bad And The Ugly Of Internal Fetal Monitors During Birth So my personal opinion is to definitely research this prior to birth because when you are in labor you only have probably at most 15 minutes to mull this over before making a decision and let’s be honest, that just isn't enough ...

Being open about my beliefs has been hard and has singled me out with a lot of my offerings and services but I feel as though if I am open about it then I will attract the ones who need me the most.

If people can push a person away based on their beliefs then they are not ready for the journey at hand.

I have lost family, friends, and potential clients but you know what, I have made my peace with it and I am attracting the most beautiful people into my life. This is where my Yule tradition of making wishcones or intention cones stemmed from and now I make and sell them as a kit for you, already put together for you to only have to write your intentions and then hang until the week of Yule so you can then burn the intention to release out into the universe.

I love hanging these on my tree and me and the kids do these every year.

I want to talk about everything Yule!! What are your plans? What is it about Yule that you do for tradition? What we do every year.

What a happy Mabon. The rain, the crisp air, so much going on in the background of life. I have banana bread in the oven. There are apples being fermented into apple cider vinegar. Fire cider going on the countertops. I am doing some Autumn cleansing and listening to Celtic music to bring me peace.....

I have been taking vitamin C daily for well over a year now, I actually have a bunch of different vitamins that I use separately. I do not use a multivitamin.

So let’s go through some information on vitamin C. As with everybody who has any common knowledge of vitamin C, it is well known as an immune system booster. That is the main reason why most people use it, they catch a cold, and the first thing they go to is vitamin C. Well it is much more useful than just something for your immune system.
It helps regulate your hormones for fertility, and is actually known to increase your progesterone. Helps create a strong bag of waters in pregnancy and when your bag of waters do break before term it can help prevent infection.
