Birth & Beginnings: childbirth conversations

Hello mothers and mothers-to-be! This blog focuses on pregnancy, childbirth, children, and parenting. Along with providing helpful information and resources, it is also a place to discuss choices and trends in these areas. The blog will inform and encourage mothers as we share and learn from each other. It is not a place to say that one opinion is better than another; instead it is a forum for camaraderie and for sharing personal experiences. So feel free to read, respond, and absorb information on a daily basis as together we traverse this world of motherhood.

There are still literally thousands of topics to discuss regarding birth and I want to keep covering these. However, I also want to include blogs that have to do with real life and the reality of childbirth and of parenting young children. So, I am going to start blogging more often about life as a mom, childbirth educator, and doula. Talking about birth, postpartum, and being a mom will be available for you to comment on or simply read. So get ready for some semi-unedited real life experiences and please share yours as well.
