Kardashians call to cover up

This is a perfect example of the hypocrisy of our society towards breasts and their purpose, AND the gal in the instructional video at the end is a friend of mine, a hilarious blogger, and a Bradley® teacher as well! :-) ENJOY!!!

2nd Annual Bradley® Class Reunion 2010

Here are some pictures of our 2nd annual Bradley® class reunion. We fired up the grill, ate some fabulous food, did some catching up and had a blast watching our Bradley® babies play with each other.

I can't tell you how happy it makes me feel to catch up with the families that have attended my Bradley® classes and get to see their beautiful babies and how they are growing up so incredibly fast. I feel so incredibly honored and humbled that I got to play a small part in how they were brought into the world, with a better beginning.








Only 4 families were able to make it this year. I had a blast with everyone who came, missed everyone that couldn't make it and am already looking forward to next year! :-)

What Dad Needs to Pack for the Hospital Bag

This is a nice basic list of things that Dad might need/want for himself while Mom is in labor. I always stress to my Bradley® Dad's the importance of taking good care of themselves during her labor so that they can better take care of Mom.

Chlorhexidine (Hibiclens) Protocol For Labor Among GBS Positive Women

"No matter where you plan to birth, (home, birthing center, hospital) if you elect to test for GBS and the results are positive, you also have options other than automatic antibiotics."

Birth Tubs & Waterbirth

Photos and descriptions of a large variety of birthing tubs and the places they are used.
"There is power that comes to women when they give birth. They don't ask for it, it simply invades them. Accumulates like clouds on the horizon and passes through, carrying the child with it." ~ Sheryl Feldman
