WELCOME! I just took over this meet up group, with the goal of bringing together new moms who are interested in sharing information about alternative health.  Inspired by Ina May Gaskin, Michel Odent, Gloria LeMay and Jean Liedloff, I had two births without anaesthesia, the second at home in a pool of water. After some chronic diseases in the 1990s, I use herbal remedies for the most part to address maladies that afflict myself and my family. I've learned about and experienced the benefits of he …

Hi Everyone! I decided to start this group after my own pregnancy. I come from a family of lots and lots of babies, so I was surprised when I experienced things in my pregnancy and birth that plenty of women experience but that my family and friends had never talked about. Ranging from feelings to physical changes. I've read books and books but somehow didn't get what I needed from them. Let's create a community together! Please come join the group if you are pregnant, plan on getting pregnant. …

We need to immediately de-tox our homes of the countless harsh and dangerous chemicals we use there everyday. Our indoor air is far more polluted than outdoor air. Since WWII, over 70,000 synthetic chemicals have been created in the U.S. and less than 2% have ever been tested for toxicity, carcinogens and birth defects. Many manufacturers of these household products are not required to list all the ingredients contained in these items.  We need to pressure our elected representatives to force th …

… For six months, I kept my own counsel while writing letter after draft letter that I could never finish, with the birth of their child becoming more and more imminent. Late in their pregnancy I had a brief and, at the time, seemingly unrelated discussion with them about the robotic singularity.
