Caesarians are not always celebrated in the Offbeat world, but they are a very real part of the labor &#038; delivery process many women experience. Gillie's birth story teaches us that, with the right team and encouragement, a caesarian can be every bit as empowering as any other kind of birth.

We often think we have control over our lives -- but ultimately each of us has to grapple with that which is beyond our control. We have to learn about <em>surrender</em>.

From the very start of my pregnancy, I knew that my little one would come before her due date, maybe a week or two early. Never in my wildest imaginings did I think she would be ELEVEN weeks early! It was Tuesday, March 3, 2009. I woke up with the most intensive heartburn I had [...]

bonnaroomama explains: "After my son was born, complications from my c-section left me hospitalized for about three weeks. My family worked very hard to keep my son near me and support my breastfeeding efforts." It looks like despite those rough first three weeks, Bonnaroomama and her family have gone on to enjoy a rich life [...]

A lot of women I know talk about having the perfect pregnancy, the perfect birth, the perfect baby. I was one of them. In the beginning of my pregnancy, everything WAS perfect. I was healthy, my growing baby boy was healthy, my hubby, Devin, was amazing, our families were thrilled, friends were ecstatic, life couldn't [...]

August was a big month for me, as my partner and I hung by the phone waiting for “the news.” Both of us come from tiny families, and both our brothers became dads within three weeks of each other. I am still adjusting to my new role as an aunty, especially as I have no [...]

Whether your birth plan is one word (epidural) or a spiritual novella dedicated to your hopes for natural childbirth, things can (and do) go awry with labor ... Cesarean sections happen. The majority of labor and delivery resources fail to cover c-section recovery in depth. They'll usually touch on the stand-bys "Don't carry heavy objects" [...]

August 16, 2009 is my son Aiden’s one month birthday. It’s crazy to think about all the things that have happened in the last month. Some scary, some absolutely cute. I've been meaning to put the story of his birth down on paper, but been scared to think about it. I want something I can [...]

Let's backtrack to the 37th week, two weeks before Alice was born. Henry and I went to my weekly check-up together, to have "The Talk" with our doctor.  "The Talk" was rendered moot when Alice's breech presentation was discovered on the ultrasound. That one word, BREECH, completely changed the tone of everything.s

Daddy and Lyra are cuddling on the couch together, so I'm taking the time while I have it to tell of my birth adventure. My original plan was to have a natural birth, at Kaiser, with midwives and a doula. I boned up hard for this test, took classes, read books, did birth affirmations daily, [...]
