Rock N' Roll

I am not talking about music, I am talking about birth :)  Cedars Sinai is really such an amazing hospital, I was fortunate to have my three babies there, but with each birth I attend as a Doula, it just gets better and better.  They have a program called Rock N' Roll which helps the mom get in the right position to help the baby descend properly, and when I saw it in action, I was so happy and impressed.

Labor and Birth is all about watchful waiting, whether you are at home or in the hospital.  That is what I tell the mommies, you are going to wait, getting to the hospital doesn't help the birth go any faster.  I was so happy laboring at home as long as possible, in comfortable clothes, access to the bathroom whenever I wanted, eating whatever I wanted, luckily the hospital was just 10 minutes away.  My Doula made it possible for me to let go of control and get in my zone, and Thank God my babies were in the right direction.

I am so happy that my Doula work is at this amazing time in the world where people are working on finding a balance between the way it used to be in ancient times and only midwives to the other side of just a hospital, medical birth with unnecessary interventions, which lead to more interventions. 

The main focus should always be the mom, yes of course watching the baby, but allowing the mom to get in a zone, open, allowing the body to do what it knows how to do.  Thank God everything exists for the just in case, but I firmly believe 99.9% of the time if you were alone in a forest, the body would birth successfully.

No only is a baby born, but a mother is born, and if we do not take care of ourselves, who will do it for us.  Parents have to recharge themselves to give 100% to their children unconditionally.  It is challenging, but it is worth it.
