Crazy 😜About Cloth Add on Class

If you’re like most new parents, you may have uttered the following words at some point: “I really want to try cloth diapering, but…it seems like too much work.” Or: “It’s a lot of money to spend up-front.” Or: “I can’t deal with scraping poop into a toilet.” Or: “I heard they’re just as bad for the environment as disposables.”

The fact is, cloth diapers do require more work than simply tossing a disposable into the trash, and they aren’t the right choice for every family. But thanks to progress in modern tush-covering technology, they may make more sense for yours than you realize.

Disposable Diapers Cost. Disposable diapers cost about $62.50 per month, $750 per year, or $1,500 over the full time a child is in diapers.
 
For these calculations, let’s assumed that a family needs about 60 diapers a week. That number will be higher for newborns and lower for toddlers. The best-selling disposable diapers on the two top-selling websites for disposable diapers cost from $.17 to $.31 each. This averages to $.24 per diaper. Disposable diapers will cost about $1,500 for the average child for two years in disposable diapers, or about $62.50 a month.
 
Cloth Diapers Washed at Home – Cost. Buying cloth diapers for one child can cost as little as $300. Dividing those costs by two children then adding energy and detergent costs to wash diapers at home, the total cost of cloth diapering one child is about $450 over two years, which averages $18.75 per month or $225 per year.
 
For cloth diapering, each family will probably need about 6 dozen diapers. The cost of cloth diapering can vary considerably, from as low as $300 for a basic set-up of prefolds and covers, to $1000 or more for organic cotton fitted diapers and wool covers. Despite this large price range, it should be possible to buy a generous mix of prefolds and diaper covers for about $300, most of which will probably last for two children. Even adding $.013 per diaper for energy and $.013 per diaper for detergent, adds only $150 per year per child. This means the cost of cloth diapering is less than 1/3 the cost of disposables, and you can spend even less by using found objects (old towels & T-shirts). The biggest difference in cost to cloth diaper is the need to invest up front in the cost of cloth diapers.
In this course we will go over basics of cloth and how to pay for your initial investment.
 
 

 

Sibling Preparation Course add on Class 

This class will help ease siblings mind and answer some of there common questions about the birth process. Such as how did baby get inside the tummy, will there still be room here for me, how can I help out like a big kid, and so on.


Birthday Club Birthday Circle Gatherings add on Class 

The Birthday Birth Circle Gathering is an informational discussion and support group for pregnant women, their partners, and new parents in the In our area. It is a group that gathers once a month to share in each other’s lives, creating a sense of community through the experience of parenthood. It promotes a feeling of openness, encouraging pregnant people and their partners to share their thoughts or concerns about pregnancy, childbirth and parenting. As a group, we explore all options available to birthing families, with emphasis on supporting each other while sharing resources that contribute to knowledge and understanding of alternatives.
In addition to the monthly meeting featuring guest speakers and discussion topics related to pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting, we also provide services such as Meals for Parents. (free meals for families with new babies, prepared and delivered by The groups volunteers).

MONITRICE SERVICES
Role of Monitrice:

Monitrice is a French word meaning “one who monitors”.
A monitrice or monitor is someone who offers limited clinical skills in labor. These skills usually include monitoring vital signs, fetal heart tones, labor patterns, and cervical assessments. Not only can a monitrice perform these skills but should also be able to interpret them. Is the labor pattern normal? Are vital signs showing danger? Is the baby handling labor well?

Good candidates for monitrice services are usually people planning a hospital birth but desire to labor at home as long as possible for a low-intervention birth. Because it’s easy to leave to the hospital too early, women with the following situations are best served by a monitrice: a mother having her first baby, someone planning a VBAC, or simply a person with a goal to get to the hospital at a specific point in labor.  The goal is for your care provider to manage your care. Once at the hospital (or other planned place of birth), the monitrice takes the role of a doula and no longer performs clinical skills.

Here are a few more benefits of giving birth at home:

  • Fewer maternal infections
  • Lowered risk of third-degree or fourth-degree vaginal or perineal tears
  • Ability to be surrounded by family and friends
  • Freedom to do almost anything you want, including walking around, taking a shower, cooking food, eating, watching TV, sleeping in your own bed, etc.
  • More control over birth decisions
  • Increased bonding with the baby
  • More privacy

progress I may suggest nutritional and/or herbal remedies, or recommend referral or consultation. I want you to understand the changes in your body, how to care for yourself and your growing baby, and how to prepare for
giving birth. I encourage you to have your partner, other children, and any family or friends that will be with you at the birth to come to your visits whenever possible.

You will have monthly appointments until approximately 30-32 weeks of pregnancy. From this point I will see you every two weeks through 37 weeks. From 38 weeks until the birth of your baby I will see you every week. At nearly every visit we will cover some aspect of pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, or parenting education in the book you were given at your first visit. Additionally, you can expect recommended reading, teaching times, and movie viewing to promote discussion. You will be in control of your pregnancy and birth. We will work together as a team to see your sweet baby earth side in to your arms.

👶 Find out BOY or GIRL at 8 weeks into pregnancy with 99.9% accuracy guaranteed.

🔬 The Official SneakPeek Test is a gender DNA test that provides laboratory-tested results about your baby’s gender, months earlier than any other method. It is preformed right in our office if you choose this service. 

SneakPeek is a very accurate early gender DNA test. With clinically-proven 99.9% accuracy at 8 weeks into pregnancy (see the New Clinical Summary which compares SneakPeek results with the baby’s gender at birth), you can know your baby’s gender as little as 72 hours. SneakPeek is the leading provider of early gender DNA tests, trusted by over 300,000 moms and obstetricians.

Who can take SneakPeek?

SneakPeek is proven to be 99.9% accurate at 8 weeks into pregnancy. 

If you’re currently breastfeeding, that won’t affect the SneakPeek test results. SneakPeek looks for male chromosomes in the fetal DNA found in mom’s blood. Because breastfeeding is a hormonal change that has no impact on genetics, it has no impact on the gender blood test accuracy or results.

If you had a boy in a previous pregnancy, that won’t affect your gender reveal test results, either. Fetal DNA disappears from mom’s bloodstream within 3 days of giving birth, so have no fear, the analysis for your current pregnancy will be correct!

Cupping

~𝒩𝑒𝓌 S𝑒𝓇𝓋𝒾𝒸𝑒~ℂ𝕦𝕡𝕡𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕡𝕪What is that??? Well, it is an ancient form of alternative medicine. It is all based on blood flow. It utilizes your body’s natural way of healing.

Cupping allows us to guide the body into starting an inflammatory response. This organizes antibodies to a specific area on the body to try to heal it.

For individuals like athletes, the increased blood flow helps repair muscle fibers after competitions or workouts. For others with pain-based conditions, cupping therapy can be used to help with area specific ailments like shoulder pain, lower back pain, fibromyalgia, and plantar fasciitis.

How it Works

The therapy is started by placing special suction cups on specific areas of a patient’s body. The suction process is achieved by using an air pump to suction out the air. This outward pull promotes blood flow to specific areas. This allows the body to naturally heal and recover. Throughout a session endorphins, cortisol, and serotonin are released. These chemicals are produced naturally by the body to help us cope with pain or stress. Often they are referred to as “feel-good” chemicals as they make us feel happy and are natural pain relievers. The therapy has the ability to increase the pain threshold in the area. Cupping is said to stimulate specific nerve fibers that both reduce pain and block pain messages from reaching the brain. As treatments accumulate the stagnations gets released, dispersed, and drained.

A Few Common Treatments

Treating headaches Nosebleeds Anxiety + depression Fatigue Insomnia Stomach and digestion issues Abdominal bloating Constipation Diarrhea Poor appetite Acid reflux Problems with menstruation Irregular periods Female infertility Male infertility Premature ejaculation Impotence Prostatitis Colds and congestion Allergies Asthma Vomiting and nausea Stomach flu Lung/breathing problems High cholesterol/ hypertension Anemia Diabetes Foot pain Leg cramps/soreness in leg and ankle Varicosity Hemorrhoids Hand pain Physical therapy/sport injuries Shoulder + neck soreness Shoulder pain Arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis Gout Weight loss/toning Cellulite Skin problems Shingles Eczema and psoriasis Scars/stretch marks Wrinkles Existing acne/cystic acne Improving hair quality.

Auriculotherapy

Auriculotherapy is a form of alternative medicine based on the idea that the ear is a micro system, which reflects the entire body, represented on the auricle, the outer portion of the ear. Conditions affecting the physical, mental or emotional health of the patient are treatable by stimulation of the surface of the ear.

Auriculotherapy is a clinical science recognized by the World Health Organization and approved by the FDA. It has undergone many in-depth studies at major universities here in the US and abroad.

It involves the use of electrical stimulation of acupuncture points in the ear. Each of these points that are activated on the ear triggers a neurological reaction in the brain.

How does Auriculotherapy work?

Many mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression involve the stimulation of the amygdala, a part of the brain responsible for emotions, and hypothalamus, responsible for regulating hormone release in our body.

Auriculotherapy uses pressure points in the ear that, when manipulated, influence the amygdala and hypothalamus, causing a release of endorphin and a decrease of adrenaline. This often leads to many mental health benefits as endorphins are commonly known as the “feel-good” hormone. Patients with anxiety, depression, and difficulty managing stress benefit from this surge of endorphin release.

Along with the physiological effects of auriculotherapy, the support of talk-therapy can help you recover from mental health and sleep issues that you may be struggling with from a natural and holistic perspective.

The stimulation of points on the ear can also help with physical pain and issues. Our nervous system as it is forming in the womb connects our whole body at the ear. This allows us to access those areas though your nervous system to stimulate and balance your body’s systems.
