 The baby you have always dreamed of is here!
They are precious, tiny, and completely dependent on you! You cherish the opportunity to nourish them,
teach them, and wait for the day when they begin to interact with you by
smiling at you, making and keeping eye contact, your first shared laugh
together…all of these moments are priceless. Then something occurs to us - "when" is a matter of time. They are here
with you forever. You will never go back
to your life before baby. |

 It breaks my heart to hear desperation in a new mama’s
voice, or to read that they are struggling with breastfeeding, or to know that
they are not getting enough sleep. It’s
a harsh reality check after the first few hours of euphoria after the baby is
born.
After a baby is born and the female body is flooded with
endorphins, a mama who has had minimal interference with the natural process
will be completely alert, awake and responsive to the needs of her newborn
child. Hopefully she gets some sleep
after the endorphins wear off. |

We discovered many little “secrets” when we had our
homebirth. I have no idea why some of
this information has not made it to the OB offices that are given credit as the source of
knowledge for birth-related information in Western society.
I will share two of them today.
 Herbal Therapy for Perineum HealingThe first one is: there are herbs that aid with perineum healing. Click hereto see the ones that came in our homebirth kit.
I guess I should have known – there are herbs for everything. |
