A Healing C Section Birth

By

“My c section birth story is one that proves that cesareans aren’t all bad. It even shows that they can be a healing experience after a traumatic first delivery. But I think the most important factor for a c section delivery is how the hospital handles it.”

What Women About to Give Birth Need to Hear Most

By

“Studies show that women’s feelings about their birth had more to do with having choices, than specific details about the birth itself. Women are also less likely to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or suffer from birth trauma when presented with choices. Additionally, easier postpartum periods have been reported with supported birth. This is why we hear so much about the presence of doulas. It’s not only because doulas improve birth outcomes, but because they leave women feeling continuously comforted, acknowledged, and much more at ease during and after delivery.”

For Teachers, Pumping on the Job Is Nearly Impossible — and That Needs to Change

By

“In order to maintain an adequate milk supply, experts recommend pumping every 2-3 hours, and for at least 20 minutes a time per session. And since all mothers respond to pumping differently, some need lengthier or more frequent sessions than that. Many mothers shared that their school schedule could not meet their pumping needs, and it was a painful struggle to pump enough milk for their babies.”
