      <description><![CDATA[First Monday of every month :Creating the Birth you want 

You can ask any non-medical question. I am not a doctor and cannot diagnose medical issues. You can ask anything birth related from the pro's and cons of medical procedures, what different comfort measures are, what kinds of pain relief options you have, What does it really mean to be induced? How does a cesarean effect breastfeeding? How do I find a doctor willing to go along with what I want in my labor and birth? How do I write a birth plan? Are they really effective? What do I do if my water breaks?How will I know when to go to the hospital? My doctor told me________ what are my options? Ask whatever you want. If it is something out of my scope of practice, I will let you know ahead of time.

Second Monday of Every month: The Emotional side of Birth and Parenting 
You can ask any non-medical question. I am not a doctor and cannot diagnose medical issues. You can ask anything that you are wanting some guidance with. What are my choices in Birth so that I can make a good decision? How do I stop people from telling me their horror stories? Do I have to cosleep or put my baby in a crib? What are the middle grounds? What about attachment parenting? Breastfeeding? What if I am afraid of how much it will hurt or if it doesn't work? I am feeling unsupported in my relationship and this is causing me alot of fear in how I will take care of this baby after it is born. My child is 6 months old and this is alot harder than I thought! How do I help encourage her to sleep through the night? I am struggling with some personal issues, how can I work through them and not be so angry? How do I follow my intuition? How do I know if my concerns are based from fear or my intuition that something is wrong? How do I make sure I am a good mother? My inlaws are driving me nuts, any suggestions? What if I make the wrong choices for me and my baby? Ask whatever you want.

Third Monday of Every Month: Conscious Parenting 
You can ask any non-medical question. I am not a doctor and cannot diagnose medical issues. You can ask anything that you are wanting some guidance with. Conscious Parenting to me is having an awareness of your children's unique individuality and providing them with healthy, structured and loving parenting with healthy boundaries. It is about understanding where they are so that you can effectively help guide them through their lives in a more gentle way that feels best to you. I have never met a parent that could say that it felt good to them when they hit their child in the long term. This is about teaching your child conflict resolution without violence. It is about honoring who they are as these amazing children who will teach us much more than we will ever teach them:IF WE LISTEN. While also understanding that they need guidance from us right now through their physical , emotional, and spiritual growth. All are equally important.

Do you have questions like My child keeps throwing tantrums and I am unsure how to handle it? My little boy whines every time I even move 2 feet away? My daughter pulls and slaps me when she doesn't get her way! How do I help her understand that this is wrong? Ask whatever you want.

Fourth Monday of Every month: Breastfeeding 
You can ask any non-medical question. I am not a doctor and cannot diagnose medical issues. I can answer most breastfeeding questions from the how to most effectively pump milk, nipple soreness, how to know baby is getting enough, what about going back to work, teething, nursing a toddler, Diaper normalcy, milk storage, nursing in public etc.

These are all once a month sessions! Please forward information on to friends and have them email me to rsvp! Ruth@honoringwomen.com I will require 5 participants each seminar or will cancel and postpone to the following month.

The cost is $5.00 to attend, except the Breastfeeding one that is Free once a month. To register send and email or go to http://www.meetup.com/pregnancy-287/calendar/]]></description>

A membership to a private message board where you can ask questions and have them answered personally  and anonymously by a Certified doula and breastfeeding expert. 

Personal phone consultations to help you work out your specific details that you may not want to list on the forum. 

Discounts and coupons to MANY birth professionals around Palm Beach County.

      <title>Pregnant? You deserve a doula!</title>
      <link>http://chat.charmpost.com/read.php?18,3382,3382#msg-3382</link>
      <author>honoringwomen</author>
      <description><![CDATA[you can go to www.honoringwomen.com or watch the slideshow below. You can also find us on Facebook under Honoringwomen ! 
Why would someone need a doula? 
A woman that didn't have support or if they felt she needed more support would need a doula. Perhaps she doesn’t feel that at that time she would be an effective advocate for herself and she would want someone who isn't emotionally involved. Maybe she wants someone to be there just for her to make sure all her  needs are met that don't correspond with what care providers usually provide.
I would recommend a Doula to anyone. It's like bringing your childbirth educator teacher with you to the birth and knowing no matter what you forget, she will be there, right by your side, to remind you, care for you, and give you the information you need to enhance your birth experience. We are here to give support to both the mother and father at their special time. The mother won't feel alone if the dad needs to take a break and the father won't feel guilt, leaving the mother alone. We are effective advocates for following the parent's birth plan and helping them through difficult periods.

Doulas. . .

recognize birth as a key life experience that the mother will remember the rest of her life.
understand the physiology of birth and the emotional needs of a laboring woman.
assist the mother and father in preparing for their birth and carrying out their birth plans.
stay by the side of the mother throughout her entire labor.
provide emotional support, physical comfort measures, an objective viewpoint and assistance to the mother in getting the information she needs to make an informed decision.
encourage communication between the laboring mother, her partner and clinical care providers.
perceive her role as one who nurtures and protects the mother's memory of her birth experience.
 

Doulas do not provide any medical care. They do not replace doctors or midwives.
Current research has shown that in using a Professional Doula during labor provides you with the following benefits:

Affordability -- In these trying economic times, I will work with you to make it affordable and include bartering as payment for partial services. Generally an average cost for Doula services in South Florida ranges between $500.00 to $2,000.00 depending on where you live, what services are offered and the doula’s experience. It is not unusual for a more experienced Doula (i.e. someone with nursing experience and years of experience as a Doula) to charge on the higher end and a less experienced or student  Doula to charge on the lower end.
Convenience -- I can come to your home during early labor before you go to the hospital.
Flexibility -- In my prices and in your labor and birthing options.
Break the Fear-Tension-Pain Cycle through constant education and support.
Constant presence of the Doula throughout your pregnancy and from the beginning of your labor until 1-2 hours after birth.
50% reduction in cesarean rate 

Reduced desire for pain medication. 

40% reduced need of pitocin 

Fewer episiotomies 

Reduced duration of labor (average 2 hours less for first-time mothers) 

Reduced use of forceps and vacuum extraction prcedures

Reduced chances for health complications and hospitalizations for baby 

Reduced chances of maternal fever and infection 

Reduced maternal bleeding following birth 

Increased chances of successful breastfeeding 

Reduced incidence of postpartum depression 

Reduced levels of anxiety/Better mother-infant interaction 

More positive birth experience for mother and partner 

Increased chance of spontaneous vaginal birth
In light of these benefits more and more Insurance Companies are choosing to reimburse for Doula Services. Check with your Insurance Carrier to inquire if they do.

The Father &amp; Doula team: 
By having a Doula, he can participate at his own comfort level without having to remember &quot;everything&quot; that he and mom learned in childbirth class. Studies show that fathers also experience fear and tension during the mother's labor. A doula's presence and knowledge can break the fear-tension-pain cycle for the mother and father. Many times fathers worry that they are not doing enough or the right thing. A Doula helps him to care for and support his partner by giving suggestions, providing encouragement or giving much needed breaks during a long labor.]]></description>
