New Mums Info Membership Site

I have written on numerous occasions about the importance of being  informed and in control of your birth experience. After all, you will have been pregnant for nine months and are entitled to experience the birth of your choice. I am aware that sometimes, despite the best plans, things can go wrong. However, you can still be informed and be aware of your options and that is what this post is all about- to help you become as aware as possible.

All mums to be are recommended to attend pre birth classes and I have for a long time, been an advocate of the birthing classes that are delivered online, so you can consume and study them in your own time when it suits you, rather than an organisation or institution, I am not knocking the traditional classes, but there are many advantages to be had with home education.

Whilst some people certainly enjoy the ‘social’ aspect of attending a class with others at the same time, some others are happy to get the information in their own time and  enjoy the revision aspects, in that they can listen to their ipods while they get on with other chores and exercise.

Some further areas that are covered include the stages of labour, as well as the best way to plan your birth, so that it isn’t effectively planned for you. You have the choice to decide, barring an unexpected emergency. However, being informed gives you a power and sense of ability to control your birth and destiny.

By being prepared for any emergency, you are able to still maintain some decision process in the way it all turns out. Remember, if you can avoid any unnecessary intervention, you may well feel better in the long run.

Labour support issues are also covered to give you the most comfortable possible experience as well. You really do deserve to know what is in store so you can plan what you want.

The power of visualization is also covered which is very strong. The reason for this is that when you picture in your mind what you actually want, you are more likely to get it as well.

Another important module that is covered is post the birth experience for  you. Certainly, preparing for the birth is vital, but you also need to be prepared for the baby after wards. What will you feel like post partum?  The course draws on the experience of mothers and midwives to help you sail through as joyfully and easily as possible.

All the above issues and more are covered in the birthologie course for you, which you can study in your own time when it suits you.

When it comes to weight loss after the birth of your baby, a common issue for many new mums, the facts are that there are certain principles to be followed, that will massively help you to shed the pregnancy kilos.

After all, while you were pregnant, you were busy nourishing your baby and your body went through a number of complex changes. The good news is that there are things you can do to aid your body in returning to its former shape, or at least, as closely as possible. There is no one ‘size fits all, solution, but there are some general rules that have been proven to work over all.

I will list those rules below, as well as list some recommended resources that have proven to be effective for many women.

After all, this processof returning to your form,er self is possible, and with the right information, you will be well on your way.

Points to Consider for Returning To Your Pre Birth Weight and Figure

The main issues to consider (two) are the issues of balance in your diet as well as what is known as resistance training. I am well aware that there are numerous diet processes that are marketed, some about low carbohydrates, others about vegetarian diets and the list goes on an on.

Ultimately, whilst I am not going to recommend one specific diet to you, I am going to talk about balance and reasonable quantities.

In relation to resistance training, it is one of the better ways to actually increase your metabolic rate which will help your body to burn more of your food. In time, your stomach will flatten and become a more suitable look for you.

However, there is something else that is so straight forward, most people over look it- It’s Drinking Water.

Water in Your Day and Diet

Water is a natural substance that our bodies need in order to stay healthy as well as in control weight wise. We need to make sure that we are drinking as much as possible as water washes away toxins and also helps to keep us hydrated.

I wanted to expand on the benefits of the concept of taking up pre birth classes in the comfort of your home. It is a different and very new concept, that is proving very successful for many people, who are running very busy and fulfilling lives.

Essentially, the idea is that in order to be able to function effectively, we need to be able to be flexible. That is why I am a supporter of the home birthing classes process. Let me explain in greater detail…

The home birthing classes system program is made up of ten modules that take around one month to complete. These modules are made up of audio and portable document format documents (pdf) print outs that you can view on your screen or print out. There are a total of one hundred and fifty pages of data. Best of all, you are able to go over the course as often as you wish and also, listen to the audio files on your ipod or similar audio player, on the go. You are not required to be in class at a set time, but can listen as you go about other activities or just want to listen quietly.

A common question however, is what does it involve and include?

The course’s first module is about

ACHIEVING A HEALTHY LOW-RISK PREGNANCY FOR BIRTH AND BEYOND

The idea here is to provide a great introduction to help you manage your pregnancy as well as possible. You are not expected to know everything, and even though you may be aware of some of the points, starting from scratch for everyone makes it easier to ensure that you get all the information that will help you make the right decisions as you go.

The second module is about being a smart pregnant consumer. It is an important module that details such issues like the type of birth options that are available as well as the type of carers you can have through your pregnancy.

As an example, there are the births at home, or in a birthing centre, and of course, the hospital option. I am being quite deliberate in not making a recommendation one way or the other, as it is about your decision and what suits you and your circumstances. |This is why it’s so important to be as informed as possible to help you make the right decision. In any event, this is a critical step for your decision making. Further, you are able to make a decision between the use of a gynecologist, a midwife assistant or a general practitioner. The decision is entirely up to you. Other factors to consider are any previous birth experiences, and any other problems you may have had health wise.

The Third module is about the various possible interventions in a hospital environment.

This can be a very ‘scary’ situation, in that when one intervention is done, it can in fact lead to the requirement for other interventions and so on. Please understand I am not against a legitimate intervention when it is required, nit it is important to be aware of what they are all about so again, you can be informed about the process.

The fourth module is about the stages of labour.

This section of the course deals with the details of labour as well as some of the best positions to try and essentially, tips to make the process as easy as possible for you. Some people typically tell you to just push with all your might, but there are really different situations surrounding this and it is again best to be informed.

I will write in the next post about more details surrounding this course. The Birth at home course is loaded with information to help you achieve the best outcome from your birthing experience. You deserve a great birth!

You may well want to ask yourself- what will you learn in an online birth class?

It may seem like the whole process is very complex, but it is actually very straightforward. So many women find traditional classes to be very scary, particularly if they are shy. After all, if you have an embarrassing issue to ask a question about, it may be uncomfortable for you. In an online class, you do not have a room full of strangers to worry about and you can get straight to the answer you are looking for.

Better still, you have the ability to study when it suits you, and not be required to attend a class at a set time, at a distant location, If you are like many women today, (and men for that matter), time is a precious commodity and any way to save time or get more done in the time we all have is a benefit to us.

I know it may seem a different way of approaching the process of learning about birth, but let’s face it- we have the technology and it can help us achieve a great deal, in a time saving and safe way.

You could even benefit from the taking of both online and traditional classes if you preferred, just for the human contact side of things. I know that is still important for some women, but this way, you can benefit in any way, given that you have the flexibility to ‘attend’ your online class when you want to, even if you have a busy day.

If you are anything like me, you will naturally, be wondering about safety and security. I can understand this and your use of the course is governed by a full 2 month, 60 day warranty. If you have any concerns, you can request a full money back transaction, with no questions, The vendor compnay is Clickbank who are well known for their integrity and quick refunds, should you request it.

I say this as it is important to know you are dealing with a safe merchant when dealing online.

In my research, the single biggest issue for people is the safety of their details online, You are protected as you can pay with Paypal, if you are not comfortable with the provision of your credit card details.

The Birthologie program for your in home or in office birth classes is presented in audio and portable document format. Hence, you can even listen to the material as you are going about other work or chores, using your portable audio player. You really do have an increased chance of succeeding and you deserve the privilege of  learning and preparing as much as you can for your upcoming birth. It is a very special time in your life and you deserve the ability to direct it as you wish. We are not living in the fifties where you simply did as the hospital staff told you, with no input or idea about what was going on.

You have every right to want to have a say in your birthing experience. I understand that plans sometimes can fall through, but I think- make that know, that you can control what is going on to some extent.

I wish you much enjoyment through your pregnancy and look forward to receiving your positive feedback from using the home study Birthologie course.

For many women, the idea of attending childbirth classes is both an excitement and a worry. Let’s look at it this way- you are probably a busy person, with lots on your agenda, and a list longer than your arm of tasks for the day to do. Naturally, however, you still want to be able to be as prepared as possible for the birth of your baby, and this natural to want to take in as much information as you can. One way to achieve this is to attend online birthing classes.

The Advantages of Online Birthing Classes

The benefits of an online birthing class are that you can take the class when it suits you. The material is prerecorded and available in both audio format as well as with excellent notes to help you follow on with in your own time. You mayt still consider some ‘traditional’ birthing classes in your area, but the benefits of an online course are available to you, wherever you are, and at a time that suits you.

You may even find that not having to travel is a time saver as well as a more economical solution for you.

I do understand the requirement sometimes to speak to a person live, and your general care giver should be able to help out as well in this regard, with a phone call and so on as required.

Your Education Will Shape your Birth Experience

When it comes to women talking of their past birth experiences, you will be likely to hear stories falling into two broad groups- the ladies who have had a wonderful experience and those who have had an experience they would prefer to forget. It is certainly very sad when I hear of these negative experiences, and whilst there is never a hard and fast rule, the general reason falls into a case of the women not being as informed as they could and even, should be about the birth process.

After all, when you are fully informed about the process and your options, you are better able to choose what suits you, so you in effect, can develop control and a desire for a certain birth experience.

I am well aware that in some cases, the best laid plans can go to pot, but in all cases, being better informed will help you plan your desired birthing plan which will increase your chances of getting what you want on your very special day.

This is the path of an educated process. You owe it to yourself to know what is expected and what you can ask for and remember- it is your right and privilege. No one has the right to tell you how you should birth your baby, given that everything else is normal. Certainly, there can be exceptions in some cases, but over all, you still deserve to be as informed as possible. It’s your body and your baby. That is why I am so interested i as many people as possible being informed about their birth choices and general birth education.
