]]> Comment on Appreciating The Placenta by Loretta Anderson http://birthowl.com/2008/10/17/appreciating-the-placenta/#comment-159 Loretta Anderson Sat, 18 Oct 2008 10:32:53 +0000 http://birthowl.wordpress.com/?p=232#comment-159 Hi, Great article. I am a midwife and also worship the placenta! I am always wanting to show the mothers and fathers the wonders of the placenta. I think, looking through, and admiring the placenta is part of the whole birth journey. My placenta from my second son is just about to be buried in my backyard under a lavender bush. Well done.

]]> Comment on Maca Root Supports a Healthy Pregnancy by Briana http://birthowl.com/2008/04/11/maca-root-supports-a-healthy-pregnancy/#comment-149 Briana Wed, 30 Jul 2008 20:11:20 +0000 http://birthowl.wordpress.com/?p=200#comment-149 Hi, I took Maca for a year or so before I became pregnant. I love the way I feel. (balanced) I did quit taking it for the pregnancy. I am 3 weeks from my due date. I look forward to starting my Maca intake, again, and am wondering how long I need to wait before reintroducing it. I will be breastfeeding. Do you have any insights on this matter? Thanks Briana Hi,

We continued to breastfeed for the continuoum of his first 7 years. Co-sleeping and homelearning became a pure and precious part of our natural regime. Trusting our instincts became who we have both become - more secure and safe in the age old wisdom that listening to our bodies is always most beautiful and best!

She had never had a C-section, so he couldn't have been checking to see if a previous scar held, and I don't think there were any missing pieces from her placenta. He seemed to just do this stuff completely out of routine. He didn't even tell her what he was doing! She'd had an epidural, but she still felt his hand inside her. She said she could only imagine what it would have felt like had she not had the epidural numbing her, if she could feel it with an epidural!
