Pre-conceptions

[Guest guest]

Namaste!

 

Please contact the

ladies at Pre-conceptions. Luz, Ama, Jamillah are wonderful Doulas (birth assistants

to the mother) as well as birth assistants to midwives. It is wonderful when

you are in labor to have a doula who will advocate when you may be unable to

advocate for yourself. I just had these wonderful ladies on the radio with me 2

weeks ago and they are dynamite! You can reach them at 240.383.8765 or maluzcjohnson or ammachan.

 

 

‘Birthcare &

Women’s Health’ is wonderful and I recommend them (having been to

them myself and many of my patients/bellydance sisters as well) but they cannot

take you after you are 6 months or so. I would say this is a great choice for general

gyno care afterward and in preparation for the next baby. J

 

To allay any potential

anxiety and relax for your birth, I recommend you do a birth plan from now. You

can do it online by filling in the blank of what you want to happen at your

birth. You can print it and discuss it with your ob/gyn ahead of time (at your

next visit) and bring it with you to present to all the folks attending your birth.

This is essential so as to positively visualize the way you want your birth to

go and for everyone to be on the same page with you (i.e. ‘If I go past

my due date and the baby and I are fine, I prefer to go into labor naturally

rather than be induced’). Here is a link to easily set up your customized

plan: http://earthmamaangelbaby.com/birth_plan.html . You will feel much better after you have this plan in your

hands.

 

Please let me know if

I can help any further.
