How To Induce Labor Naturally At Home
Posted by Courtney Lopez on
How To Induce Labor Naturally At Home, or at least this is how I did it.
First of all, why would someone want to know how to induce labor naturally at home? Unfortunately more and more doctors are actually scheduling mothers for inductions. Many parents don’t want to have extra chemicals and medications like pitocin. I was over 40 weeks with Kay and she was measuring to be at least 8lbs, or they thought that by the ultrasound. When sweet baby girl was born she was only 6lbs and 13oz.
I went to my doctors on Monday and they said they would be scheduling my induction for Wednesday. I was so upset, crying, and just helpless. I didn’t want to force my baby out and not by unnatural means.
I wanted a natural birth too. I did end up getting the epidural, but I’m one of the lucky few that it doesn’t work for. I FELT EVERYTHING and my doctor warned me about the burning ring of fire while delivering naturally without an epidural. Next time I will not get one and obviously know I can handle it.. kind of. Giving birth is SO painful, but once it’s over you forget all about how painful it was to have a baby come out of you. Promise

I still can’t believe Kay will be 2 in July. I feel like I just had her – even more I feel like I was pregnant yesterday! I still remember all the little kicks and I can even remember the horrible pain during labor. I can close my eyes and just see and feel them placing her on me and congratulating me. I remember the first time I nursed her when she was born. It was not too long ago that she was saying her first words, taking her first steps, and telling me she loves me! Now she’s telling me more and she loves me most! I love when we’re out and about and she smile at anyone and everyone and then tell me, “Mama, I smiled!”. Kay is just too sweet
She is growing up way too fast. I want to cherish all the moments, and I am! I’m so blessed that I get to stay at home with her but being a blogger isn’t really a stay at home mom in the least. I work as hard if not harder than I did when I had 2 jobs!

Planning Sweet Baby’s first Easter Egg Hunt was fun! I can’t believe it’s already her second Easter, it feels like yesterday was Sweet Baby’s First Easter!! We didn’t know how to really go about it and kind of did our own thing. Kay is a huge fan of the park so we figured it would […]

Posted by trisha haas on
Recently the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, the #1 resort on Northwest Florida’s Emerald Coast, invited Chris and I to experience an “at home wine in a box” to get a little festival at home. Of course for me, wine translates to champagne (because that’s the kind of drinker I am) and must always accompany...
