ICAN-International Cesarean Awareness Network

I LOVE this organization ICAN but rarely have blown its horn ‘toot toot!’ but, this was a video that was shown at the Trust Birth Conference which made me laugh and cry and applaud and stamp my feet…really.

Firstly: Please click here for more info on CPD (Cephalopelvic Disproportion)
Cephalopelvic Disproportion is rare yet is vastly overdiagnosed. Here are the stories of a few women who were told their babies were too big for their pelvises by one care provider, but fortunately sought a second opinion and subsequently birthed an even BIGGER baby through that same “small” pelvis.
VBAC = vaginal birth after cesarean
HBAC = homebirth after cesarean
HBA3C = homebirth after 3 cesareans
UBA2C = unassisted birth after 2 cesareans

and there’s a new video on the ICAN site that is just as good VBAC after multiple cesareans

Enjoy!

Love,
Heather

Oxytocin, science, and damn my computer is making me crazy!

I was looking up something completely unrelated (wanted to know how much oxytocin a BABY produces at birth and when breastfeeding) and found this article, which fits quite nicely- and perhaps a cursory search would find much much more, huh?

Maternal hormone protects baby’s brain during birth

although I don’t have the time, ALAS! gotta try and finish this book Zines, Slings and Other Do It Yourself Things is being held up at the printing stage because the ‘form’ I fill out on the computer is broken. I’ve been waiting for it to be fixed for 3 weeks now and today is the day. It’s supposed to be done. So right after I post this I’m headed there to finish the book. But! I’ve been totally side-tracked by a website that promises to send you expedited birth certificates for a hefty fee, I filled out my request on February 2, so here we are in Mid-March and I have YET to hear anything. Well, come to find out the process stopped because of some snafu on their side. Yeesh! and finally, I know that I need to do my taxes but since these things seems to go in threes I’m going to wait for the third thing to be something else. I don’t think I could bear to have my taxes get bogged down in computer troubles. Of course this sort of evasive tactic may not be so easy to explain to dearest husband…who would like the taxes done soon, thank you very much. oh well. Perhaps I’ll just dive it, what could go wrong with taxes, right?

I’m glad everyone is enjoying the birth series! couple more to go!

Love,
Heather
