JOIN US ON OUR JOURNEY THROUGH PREGNANCY!!
Well, I made it to week 14 and so excited! As of today, I am 14 weeks and 5 days and it’s going by so fast! I had a Doc. appointment Mon. Dec. 1st and heard the heartbeat. We decided to get an alpha fetoprotein blood test. Dec. 19th is when I go have the blood test done and it should take a week for the results to come back.

I’m feeling some “twitches” in my tummy and it feels wonderful! It usually happens at night when I’m laying real still. My doppler can pick up the movements, even movements that I’m not able to feel yet.
I have gained 3 lbs, but I thought it would’ve been more judging the way my pants AREN’T fitting! haha!!
Been having some “swamp” mouth here and there lately.

Designer Genes. What if you could consciously partake in the design of your child’s DNA while he/she is forming in your womb? The new book Painless Childbirth:An Empowering Journey Through Pregnancy and Birth by Giuditta Tornetta will show you how. Would a mom-to-be create a more wondrous human being if she herself was living to her fullest potential, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually?? It couldn’t hurt, right??
According to Painless Childbirth, if there were ever a time when a woman should concentrate on getting her act together, maternity is that time. After all, she is in the miraculous process of creating another human being-and totally responsible for that child. Ms. Tornetta, a veteran birth and post-partum doula, says responsibility for your child begins with knowing the 9 Rights of Pregnant Women, which coincide with each month of maternity. Through understanding these rights and working with them, the pregnant woman is empowered and guided to look within herself to see where she needs to grow, just as her child is developing alongside her. Ms. Tornetta has written the first self-help book for mothers-to-be. It makes good sense to think seriously about Tornetta’s deep insights into maternity. A painless childbirth is one where the mom has no regrets about her maternity period or birthing experience. This wise book shows women how to accomplish just that.

Learn how to work out after giving birth to your baby. Helene Byrne has the answer for you. This is an interview about her work and background.
Host:
I want to welcome everyone to a personal training series of interviews for Zegee.com. This interview is with Helene Byrne from Oakland, California. She is the creator and founder of BeFitMom.com, fitness resource for women during and after pregnancy. She is also a creator of Bounce Back Fast, the post-natal conditioning DVD an a book titled Exercise After Pregnancy. How to look and feel your best.
Hi Helene
Helene:
Hi, thanks for having me.
Host:
Sure, please tell us about yourself, about your book and about your work.
Helene:
I kind of came to the fitness industry through the back door, if you will, I was a professional dancer when I was younger and I found that as a young dancer I could make a lot more money teaching fitness classes, aerobic classes and things like that, than I could teaching dance. So I started out as a lot of us do teaching aerobic classes and conditioning classes.
I got a little bit older, and I got certified as a personal trainer, and I started doing personal raining. And then, not surprisingly, after my son was born, I started getting really interested in postnatal reconditioning and I found that a lot of the exercises that I thought would be good in the postpartum period didn’t work so I kind of took my background which was dance and Pilates and a little bit of yoga along with the more cutting edge of core concept that was started to be popular and I made this system of exercise that rehabs the body after pregnancy and that led to my book and then to my website and my DVD.
My book covers all of the concerns that a postpartum woman would have and offers a three step program for creating functional core stability back into the body. It is interesting, when I was pregnant, oh - I would pound up 100 sit ups a day and i get my abs back and I will be on my way, but what I found when I was postpartum that while the abs do need to be reconditioned, the real issue behind postpartum - rehabilitation are really developing functional stability and core strength back into the body and thats what the book covers.
All the exercises are in the book, body weight exercises that you can do without equipment, they are fairly short so a new mom can get down on the floor when her baby has a nap and do it. It also covers other aspects pertaining to postnatal conditioning like pelvic floor reconditioning, abdominal separation - what is it, how to test for it, other post-natal conditioning like carpel tunnel as well as chapter on body image after pregnancy because that is a bit thing that moms these days have to deal with as well as how to set your goals and how to create a program of success for yourself.
We see a lot of things in the media about actresses who get their bodies back in these miraculous time frames but for most moms its impossible. our job is to taking care of the baby 24/7. Child care is a huge commitment and if you are super wealthy and you can hire someone to come and give you a private workout every day while another person is taking care of the baby, then thats really the only way it can be done.
What moms need to realize is that it takes 40 weeks to grow a baby and that you should give yourself at least that much if not longer for rebounding from pregnancy. It is especially important for moms to understand that it’s not about body weight. Dieting when you are postpartum and when you are breastfeeding is a really bad thing to do to your body.
So in my book and my DVD, I really say eat right, eat the amount of food that will support not only your metabolism but your breastfeeding metabolism which is your base metabolism plus about 500 calories a day, which is a big increase in your basic metabolism so eat the right amount and eat high quality food and let your body go through this kind of de-evolution process and thats really the healthiest way to go.

for the love of our child we chose a NATURAL water birth.
moments after the certified health nut’s baby was born in water at home the midwifes test him for health. he is very calm, no crying and very healthy.
we used 5W (last 5 weeks) herbs from Mountain Meadow co. as it came highly recomended for not tearing the vagina……..it worked……..also a lot of Tradicional Medicinals pregnancy tea, the midwifes said it was a very healthy placenta.
for the mom it was very important to rebalance the endocrine system/hormones so we used a lot of Sumacazon: http://uri.amazonherb.net/Group06_Sumacazon.aspx
hormones play a critical role in post partum depression and other complications so we wanted the best for restoration and rejuvenation. and Aquazon to remineralize the body as the baby takes what it needs and depletes the mommy:
http://uri.amazonherb.net/Group06_Aquazon.aspx
zero screaming for mommy, to induce labor we walked around the block. when she was ready she got in the tub and 16 minutes later this guy came out.
the maori shaman/midwives i work with talk about many of the imbalances of the world today stemming from our treatment of children at birth. when drugs,
forceps, scalpels are NOT used, and instead babies are welcomed into the world by the hands of their parents, we are imprinting them with love NOT fear.
there are infinite ways that a loving and gentle birth
experience effects the life of that child and all whom they come into contact with.
many are scientifically documented (see ‘primal health research institute’s data base) but science aside, there are the benefits that one can determine
with common sense.
birth is our first impression, and when our first
impression of life, or anything or anyone for that matter, is one of love, peace, welcoming and grace, we tend to continue our life and our relationships with that as our foundation.
it is not always possible to do everything for our childrens’ well being that we may wish to, once they are in the world, but it is within our power to offer them the gift of birthing consciously with the intention of welcoming them with love!
1 year later we see all the natural tools paid off as the baby and mom are energetic, strong and healthy! CHECK HIM OUT ON HIS OWN CHANNEL:
