Our last Positive Birth Group meeting was great!

I truly appreciate expectant parents who are actively creating the best start to life for their babies.  It is such a pleasure spending time with such empowered families.

For those who were not present, the theme of the meeting was ‘Place of Birth’.  We discussed home birth and allowed the conversation to lead us.  We touched on the space of birth beyond actual location, are kids, mothers (grandmothers to-be), or pets going to be around.  We also discussed water birth and tubs, GTT testing, GBS testing (how to get a negative test), and also what to expect if you do need to transfer from home to hospital.

We discussed Cesarean birth and some of the choices that you may still have, even if your birth is not playing out as planned.

Here is a link I promised to the video we discussed about Family-Centered Cesarean.  http://yourbirthcoach.com/2013/03/29/the-natural-cesarean-a-woman-centred-technique/

Massage therapy may be something your doctor recommended you try for relieving muscle pain, stiffness or stress.

Perhaps you received a gift certificate but have never had a professional massage.

You might think it a waste of time and money. But even frugal fans know it’s worth every penny.

Consider these three simple steps to maximize the health benefits of your next massage:

1. Talk to your massage therapist enough to tell them about any concerns or problem areas. Do you want to have those muscles worked on and feel that ‘good pain’ or do you really just need to relax and de-stress? Both types of massage are beneficial, but be clear with your Registered Massage Therapist so you get what you expect. Then opt to chat less and focus on relaxing your body more. It’s the perfect time to still your mind.

2. Set the stage for yourself. Ask your massage therapist to adjust anything that’s not helping you get into your cozy zone. It’s your time, so let’s be sure to have the music and lighting just right and the temperature perfect for you. You don’t need to be shy about your body, as your RMT is trained in sheet-draping techniques to protect your modesty.

3. Now practice relaxing and listening to your body. Be aware of how your muscles feel when massaged: is there good pain, bad pain or no pain? You may be surprised that your muscles engage or tense up, but you and your RMT will soon learn what pressure is appropriate for you. The more you can relax and not tense up, the better you’ll receive the therapy. Take some deep breaths to distract your mind from any pain. Don’t worry, your body will soon learn to remember to relax and it’ll get easier the more you practice!

Try these three simple steps next time you slip between the sheets. You’ll soon be a professional yourself at relaxing your mind and body.
