"BIRTHING
FROM WITHIN"
"Birthing From Within should be read by every pregnant woman-regardless
of what prenatal care and what prenatal classes she may be involved with.
This book honors nature and helps a woman find her own way to go with nature
and her body. This book will help women tap their resources so that their
birthing will be life enhancing and empowering."
Quote from Marsden Wagner MD author of 'Pursuing the Birth Machine' |

The
American Way of Birth by Jessica Mitford
From the author who 29 years ago roasted the funeral
industry in The American Way of Death: a witty, pungent, comprehensive
look at the frequently unfortunate practices that guide how American babies
are born. The struggle over abortion has overshadowed many other issues
that affect American women. Twenty years ago, giving birth was high on
the list of women's concerns. Natural childbirth, Lamaze, midwives, birthing
clinics for normal deliveries, even home births were widely discussed and
practiced by many pioneering women. Surgical techniques, including Cesareans
and episiotomies, were questioned, and often scorned. Mitford's telling
investigation of American birthing practices today reveals that little
has changed, and that in some cases things are worse. For
instance, the infant mortality rate in the US puts it 24th among industrialized
Western nations--a rate that could quickly
be reduced if out-of-control hospital and doctor costs were reallocated
to prenatal care. If this book doesn't pack the surprises that Mitford's
expos‚ of funeral homes did, it's only because the issues have been
in the air for so long. What Mitford brings to them are hard numbers, revealing
interviews, and astute observations, pointing the finger at practices like
speeding up normal labor to accommodate the doctors, not the mothers. Or
at midwives who are driven out of practice because doctors and hospitals
refuse them backup (a throwback, Mitford wonders, to the medieval view
of midwives as witches?). And, of course, poor and uninsured women, often
most in need of superb medical care, who are treated at best offhandedly,
at worst with actual cruelty. Informed choice is the course Mitford recommends--but
the choices must be available. |

DHA
The Brain is 60 % essential fatty acids, and DHA is the main one, making
it the main building block of your child's brain. It is a proven
fact that kids with higher intakes of DHA have higher IQs and that they
enjoy greater health. Due to stress and poor diets, American women
have one of the lowest Breastmilk DHA levels in the world, and if you don't
breastfeed, there is no DHA in your formula! It is highly recommended
that all Mother's supplement their diet with 200 mg of DHA while Pregnant
and Breastfeeding. My thirty month old child, who was recently weaned,
likes to take DHA, which indicates to me his innate requirement for it.
