We get this question a lot and the first thing I want you to know, is that we can, in fact support you through a cesarean birth.
Whether it's be a planned cesarean, emergency cesarean or elective cesarean after laboring a few hours, we can support that.
Let me paint you a picture of how this works: (click to read more!)
As a former elementary school teacher, who studied special education, I've always held play therapy in high regard. When I heard about We Rock The Spectrum, I knew it was a place that I wanted to support.
I had the chance to attend WRTS-KC with my children in tow and was mesmerized at the play space that was set up. I felt so grateful that my children now had a place to play with every type of child and that judgement, ridicule and isolation, would be left at the door. My toddler and preschooler had an absolute blast! They ran, jumped, tumbled, swung and climbed.
I was able to talk to the Owner Cassidi Jobe about what brought her and this ingenious business to the northland.
I delivered my first child almost five years ago. I remember the excitement building as the days came closer to when we would meet him. As first time parents, we didn't really "know" what to expect. Everything we knew about birth and delivery came from our birth classes, first hand accounts of fellow friends, family members and what we had seen in the movies. It turns out, theres a lot of biased information out there when only reverting to these few resources!
Menstrual Cup.
Just typing it makes me shudder a little bit.
I was hesitant to use a menstrual cup for around 4 years. When I first heard of them, they were attached to the name "diva Cup." Diva cup? I'm no diva! That does not sound like something I would ever be interested in. I'll stick with my tampons, thanks.
Then one day, in preparation for my first postpartum period with my second baby, I was hanging out at Tiny Feet BOutique and talking to some friends. They began discussing the menstrual cup that the store sold and I was totally grossed out. Then someone said "you only have to empty and clean it once or twice a day!" I went from grossed out to intrigued in seconds! (Click to read more!)
