Getting the most out of your pregnancy.


The awesome act has been done. Sperm meets egg. Absent period. Take the pregnancy test, it's positive and the feelings are real. Whether it's shock, sadness and/or joy. Your emotions are magnified. You tell the world or sit on the secret. Nausea or fatigue may be the ugly beginning, but after the 1st trimester, the glory days are usually ahead.

Pregnancy is one the most important journeys in a woman's life. Get the most out of it. Adorn your expanding body, enjoy no monthly cycles, and receive the special treatment by family, friends, and even strangers. Eat without guilt, sleep abundantly, know that your body is creating a new being. Get retail therapy by shopping for you and your baby. Relieve pressure by hiring a Doula. Put you and your unborn first. Don't be hard on yourself. Enjoy this miracle that you were chosen for.

Upgrade your 'ME" time.

I know that I do. Everyday I'm working to get better at it. Although I am totally self-employed and loving it, I will admit that it is not for the weak. Independence must be in your blood. I swore to myself in 2004 that I would never return to corporate America and I have not, but that does not mean that I have not tried. I've sent my resume and even interviewed a few times. An interviewer once told me that I was not fit to sit at a desk for eight hours a day and I responded, "for the right amount of money I would" and she said, "You are not fit for that". This stranger was absolutely right. I was backtracking. Sometimes when the money gets slow and unstable in my business, I tend to look back at the cage and think about the consistent paychecks, and try to return. For some of you, the routine office jobs are perfect and that is fine. Entrepreneurship is not for everybody. I love the changes it brings. Do whatever brings you joy, but for me I tend to get

Healing fibroids naturally.

Image
What Are Fibroids? Fibroids are abnormal growths that develop in or on a woman’s uterus. Sometimes, these tumors become quite large and cause severe abdominal pain and heavy periods. In other cases, they cause no signs or symptoms at all. The growths are typically benign (non-cancerous). The cause of fibroids is unknown. http://ask.healthline.com/health/uterine-fibroids#Overview1       Over the past decade or more, I started hearing about uterine fibroids occurring in Black/African American women in large numbers. It seems that we are 3 to 5 times more likely than White women to get them. There is also said, to be no known cause or cure (hmmm, so typical in Western medicine.) The end results occurring all too often, are hysterectomies. Unless your very life essence is literally in danger, then it may be considered as the last option. Hysterectomies are an elective surgery, which means that you have a choice. Getting your precious womb removed, is more serious than most

So what are we supposed to do about the national birth crisis among Black women?

Image
Black women and infants are 3 to 4 times more likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. Those numbers vary in different areas of the country. I have seen anywhere from 12x's to 36x's and the reason vary as to why. Last year I attend an Infant Mortality Awareness Summit in Dallas, TX and to my surprise, the real reasons as to why there is a crisis was not even mentioned. I listened to the medical examiners speak mostly about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome being the number one cause. There was no mention of vaccinations or medical racism, which in my opinion would be the cause right along with stress. There was also a lot of discussion about preventing teenage pregnancies and other things that were not very solution-based. We as birth workers hear about this birth crisis like a broken record, but what are we doing about it. No one is coming to save us, so we must save ourselves. I am not going to overlook the large amount of women burying their babies and inf
