Swine Flu Vaccine Warning – Miscarriage Stories from Pregnant Women
I am sorry but this needed to be said, I had a lot of pressure on me when Tim was thought to have Swine Flu, thankfully I was quite informed of what was happening, other women have not been so fortunate – here are just a handful of stories (many more where they came from) of women who have miscarried, they believe because of the H1N1 Vaccine… I am not saying dont get it – I am saying Get informed before you do – for your baby’s sake!
To Share or not to Share…
I sometimes struggle with telling people that my aim is to birth Orgasmically, and am even taken aback when my partner mentions it before I have had a chance to! When a friend writes to me distressed that she may have made her friends experience all the more traumatic and painful by sharing her own ecstatic birth experience, it got me to thinking – how warped are we that we feel guilty about sharing a pleasurable story – has society conditioned us so much that pleasure isnt something we can freely talk about but pain is?
Healing through Birth
Working through issues before the birth of my baby has been a priority for me, when I was coming up with some blocks I decided to book in for a healing session – it turned out to be a very powerful, intense experience that has left me feeling more prepared than ever for the birth of PIM!
The Emotional Interior
Society expects pregnant women to be “emotional” I look at why this may be happening and explore the depths of loneliness that I have been experiencing in an effort to understand….
And the winner is ….. Home Birth!!!!!!!!!!!
After going back and forth and trying to work out whats best for me and my family I have decided to run with Home Birth – I explain here why the change of heart and the factors that have influenced my decision!

What Babies Want…
An amazing DVD that has once again reminded me of the importance of communicating with Babies from the moment they are conceived and to ensure a loving environment and bonding experience from the first moments of birth – but more than that an insight into healing birth trauma – THANK YOU!!!
Breastfeeding – The physical & emotional debate….
We are all quite aware of the benefits of breastfeeding – what of the emotional trauma surrounding those Mothers who really want to breastfeed but for one reason or another are unable to? I have now heard several stories from Mothers who have been in this situation and their grief and guilt is still palpable, is not it time to wake up and support these Women as much as we support those who are able to?
