AAB 203 Who you give birth with matters Sep 16, 2017

Show notes

You might wonder why this is even an issue. If You have not been in this position personally, I understand why you would be questioning that this is even an issue. I was just like you at one time and I bet you anything so were some of my listeners before they gave birth the first time. Up until that time, we have our dreams and hopes and fantasies and wishes about how our birth goes. We have read and taken classes and have our birth plan - everything is ready to go. The one thing, the one big thing that I failed to realize, is that there are just some things that are beyond our control. By my second labor, I made my plans. I had my hopes and wishes and dreams. I also added one very important element the second time around though. I had to make myself not hold on to my dreams so closely. Every day I had to tell myself that I will plan for the best and make room for the unknown and unexpected.

AAB 202 Christine Shepherd BS, IBCLC part 2 Sep 11, 2017

Show notes

Christine wonders why we are so afraid to be vulnerable. It seems moms need permission to have a different breastfeeding experience. While we don't think they need our permission, it seems that moms have such guilt that having an experienced lactation consultant tell them that it there situation is difficult. It is okay if things are not going as planned. This is hard. And it is okay if you aren't exclusively breastfeeding.

AAB 199 Birth Matters - Birth Trauma and Breastfeeding Sep 01, 2017

Show notes

A birth is defined as being traumatic if the woman was or believed she or her baby was in danger. She perhaps felt helpless, out of control, or alone at any point during her labor or birth. Suffering from birth trauma is not something you have on your list of what to expect when planning your pregnancy and awaiting the birth of your baby. Parents typically have beautiful and loving pictures in their head on what pp life will look like and how they will feel. Sure, we expect to be tired and wonder if we will have a colicky baby like your best friend did. There are feelings of worry and concern about having one of those babies you have heard about that never sleep. You may have expected some learning curve related to breastfeeding. For the most part, your plan was to be at home, relaxing with your baby, with your family and enjoying new motherhood.

AAB 197 Birth Matters - Topic - Prematurity in Birth Aug 27, 2017

Show notes

late preterm - defined by birth at 34 weeks 7 days through 36 weeks 7 days. They are less physiologically and metabolically mature than term infants. Thus they are at higher risk of morbidity and mortality than term infants. They are often the same size and weight of some term infants, born between 37 weeks and 41 weeks Because of this fact, late preterm infants may be treated by parents, caregivers and HCP as though they are developmentally mature, when in fact they are at an increased risk for complications. They need to be evaluated on an individual basis and if necessary suggest guidelines to identify and manage possible complications.
