Lamaze exam done!

Well I took the Lamaze certification exam on April 13!

I am excited to be done with the exam, but I don't feel great about how I did.
I felt like I was prepared, but the questions just threw me. They were worded oddly and I don't think I always chose the correct answer. I am terrible at standardized multiple choice tests. A lot of the questions asked you to chose the MOST important answer when to me it seemed like all the answers were important.

Anyway, I am continuing on my progress to begin teaching. I test taught some friends of mine the birth comfort measures lesson. They also asked me to attend their birth. So I am excited about that.

I heard back from the local Hospital and they aren't interested in hiring a Lamaze instructor at this time. They also declined to give me a teaching space. However, the Lutheran church in town has offered me the use of their space. I'm not sure how it will work, but it is free and a big space for couples to be able to practice  comfort measures. So it is a start.

My next move I think is to contact Central Valley Health to see if they might be interested in having a childbirth educator for their clients. It is worth a shot.

Now on to developing my curriculum.

Why is Childbirth Education Important?

I am the type of person who needs information. When I get interested in a subject I find resources and learn all I can. When I got pregnant I didn’t know much. I mean, I knew the basics on the biology of the whole thing, but I didn’t know how childbirth was actually going to go. I knew there would be choices to make but I didn’t have the information to decide on which choices would be best for me. So I read and sought more education. I found a philosophy of birth that fit my desires. I also sought a care provider who was amenable to the options I was choosing. I took the childbirth class at the local hospital, but didn’t feel like they gave me the tools to have the birth I wanted. I won’t lie, there are many childbirth information sources out there that create fear and are not based on evidence. Many images presented on TV, in movies, and on YouTube show women giving birth in scary, chaotic situations that would make you question why anyone would decide to have a baby at all. Here

The power of movement

The one key piece of advice I give pregnant women is when you go into labor, MOVE! Move to find comfort and move to keep labor progressing. Gravity is your friend when birthing a baby. Movement helps your baby descend into the birth canal and turn into the correct birthing position. Restricting a laboring woman to a back lying position inhibits all the processes that need to take place for the baby to come out. I labored for a while at home with both of my babies. Throughout my labor I rocked on an exercise ball and walked around the room. I spent a lot of time on my hands and knees and leaning on the bed. It all worked in my favor because my labors progressed quickly and my babies came out successfully.  So be insistent that you need to move. Have a yoga mat with you to lay on the floor so you can use it to get into positions on the floor that help you. Don't let anyone insist that you lay down. And screw that electronic fetal monitoring. I hear a bath is great for relieving t

Breech position babies

Image
I am thoroughly intrigued by breech babies. I have a friend who gave birth to a breech baby vaginally in a time and place when that just isn't done. Today if babies are breech they are delivered by cesarean with no questions asked. The art and medical procedure of delivering a breech baby vaginally is dieing out. It isn't being taught and it isn't being practiced. My friend's situation was unique in that her physician and the nurses didn't realize the baby was breech until they saw the baby's bottom coming out. By then it was too late for the alternative and her doctor safely guided her through pushing and delivering a healthy little one. I was happy for her, and even happier for her doctor (who incidentally was also my doctor for my second baby). This doctor now has that experience. This doctor has delivered a breech baby and hopefully can and will deliver more in the future. Three types of breech presentation:  Frank breech where the baby's bottom is
