Last Chance to Register!

Yep! My first 6 week series is coming up soon!! If you would like to be in my January 14- class you'll need to register prior to January 12th! I am looking forward to teaching you! 

Happy Holidays!!

I hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday season! 

For those of you who are pregnant, please remember:

1. Stay Hydrated! If you will be doing a lot of traveling make sure you stay well hydrated. Becoming dehydrated can increase your braxton hicks contractions, and can also put you at risk for pre-term labor. 

This also means you'll have to plan frequent bathroom breaks so that you can stay comfortable!

2. ALWAYS wear your seat belt. No, it's not always comfortable, but your seat belt should always be worn. The lap belt should be exactly there, in your lap, under your belly. Not on your belly! And your shoulder strap should be worn normally. 

3. Eat well. Remember to stay clear of unpasteurized cheeses, uncooked meats, and certain fish. Fill your plate with plenty of fresh fruits and veggies. And yes, that scoop of ice cream on your pie does count as a serving of dairy (which has calcium!!) ;)

Belly Mapping Success!

Last night I was able to attend the Belly Mapping event in Atlanta. It was held at the office of Dr. Brad Bootstaylor (See Baby), and our instructors were Nichole Feinauer and Christine Strain. Nichole and Christine have been able to work together on this presentation and I think they did a great job of explaining the basics of belly mapping.

After everyone had mapped their bellies, with the help of the myriad of doulas that were also in attendance, one of the sonographers from See Baby was available to perform an ultrasound to confirm what the mother's had mapped. It was all great fun, with a very large percentage of mother's being right about their baby's position.

I am looking forward to the next Belly Mapping event, and hopefully I'll see some of you there!

Belly Mapping...

Hello Atlanta!!! To the left of this post you may see an event widget announcing Belly Mapping at See Baby in Atlanta. This event is FREE to expectant couples, there is a cost for us birth professionals. All of the proceeds will be donated to the Atlanta Birth Center.

If you are not aware of Belly Mapping, you should head over to Spinning Babies and take a quick look (or look all day!) If you choose to join us on Monday night, you will get some great hands on help in understanding and applying this technique. It is more important than you would imagine to help your baby line up for birth, and we will show you how to check your baby's position.

As an added bonus, we are being hosted by See Baby, and they will be providing *free* ultrasound confirmation of your baby's position ~if you are interested~. Yep, a free event, with free ultrasounds, in a very spa-like atmosphere!! So, I hope you will come out!!

If you are planning to attend send a quick email to events@gabirthnetwork.com
