Dr. Tanenbaum will have 20 doses each day.  The flu shots/mist will be given on a first come, first served basis during a two-hour period.  Please join us for one of our “Shot Days” and enjoy:

Why Should I Hire a Doula?

Are you on the fence about hiring a doula?  After reading the below statistics and how a doula helps during labor, you may jump off the fence!
       

Statistics When Using a Doula

• 50% decrease in cesarean sections
• 25% decrease in the length of labor
• 30% decrease in use of forceps
• 40% decrease in use of oxytocin
• 60% decrease in use of epidurals
• 30% decrease in use of pain medication
• Improved breastfeeding
• Increased time spent with baby
• Decreased postpartum depression
• Lower birth expenses
• Increased satisfaction with birth experience

How a Doula Helps During Labor

• Suggest different positions to help labor progress and the mother to be most comfortable
• Help in mental visualization and focus through contractions
• Be with the mother at home or in the hospital
• Anticipate labor’s change as it progresses and help prepare the mother
• Help the mother conserve energy through contractions
• Remind mother of her birth plan as situations arise that may deviate from it
• Support the couple together without taking over the role of the father – adjusting to how much he is involved
• Helping the father or other birth partner to be a support for the mother and make decisions when he is unsure of how to best be there for her… labor and the hospital environment are very foreign situations
• Support during difficulties that may arise by suggesting positions or breathing patterns that may help
• Helping the couple know their options and understand pros/cons of medical interventions into the normal processes of labor
• Work with the medical staff to foster a positive team environment
• Remain calm and strong through stressful times
• Help explain what is happening in the medical environment, especially if things are moving quickly and staff must focus on their work
• Help the couple get time from medical staff to discuss their options in private; help think of or get suggestions of alternative actions
• Offer massage or other physical support to help the mother stay relaxed, confident and focused
• Serve as an extra “brain” to calmly think with the mother to protect her and help her not be overwhelmed by the environment, decisions to be made, or her labor
• Remind the couple to ask questions of their caregivers so they receive all the necessary information to make their own decisions
• Work with medical staff at the birth to see that the couple’s birth plan desires and family bonding experiences are honored
• Stay by the mother while medical staff come and go – as consistent presence giving emotional and physical strength through a very vulnerable time
• Help protect the sacredness of birth as a natural, not medical, process
• Support parents in their decisions for labor, birth, and the care of their newborn
• Encouragement during contractions to help you keep strength and focus
• Able to read the mother’s responses to contractions to provide appropriate support

The Cinch - Rated Number 1 Postpartum Wrap!

Heather and I both loved being pregnant (for the 6 times total) but what we really loved was getting our pre-pregnancy bodies back!  The Cinch allowed us to do just that.  Not only does it offer sizing for personal fitting, this feature also allows you to track your progress.  The zippered pouch allows you to have a cold/hot pack on your back or belly as you heal from birth.

Just recently Pregnancy and Newborn Magazine rated The Cinch as the number 1 postpartum wrap from new moms!  To get yours today, click on this link: http://www.bellyhaven.com/Cinch_Wrap_p/anewpljfmp.htm
