At our next meeting, we'll explore Places of Birth. In NJ, that means at home or in the hospital...How do you discover what is best place for you to give birth? Two of our Dar a Luz mamas made the bold decision to give birth at home, unassisted. Come hear about their experiences and share your birth experience.
As always, our meetings are FREE and all women, babies and children are welcome.

Next Meeting: Sexuality 6/15/11
Pregnancy & Parenthood effect our sexuality in unexpected ways. How do you maintain a healthy physical connection with your partner while juggling demands of round-the-clock baby care? Co-sleeping?
Hormones
Anatomical Changes
Fatigue
Emotional and Mental Transitions
can impact our sexuality...Not to mention episiotomies, c/s recoveries, etc.
We will also address sexual abuse. This issue not only effects how you relate to your partner, but can impact birth and breastfeeding.
As always, our meetings are free and open to all women and babies. (Use discretion if bringing a verbal child--given the subject matter.)

May 18th Mtg: Mommy Must-Haves
Our next meeting is Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Join us as we discuss:
Mommy Must-Haves:
What do you absolutely NEED during
*pregnancy
*postpartum
*breastfeeding
*for your baby into toddler years?
There is a booming industry targeting parents and trying to convince them that their lives will be incomplete and their child will be deprived if they don't get the $1,000+ stroller....But what is really essential? (And for those essentials, there are almost always a simpler and cheaper way to get it.)
Bring your favorite Mommy Must-Have to the meeting and share what you've found really helpful...And what you've found really useless.

March 16: Choosing Your Provider
Your choice in a provider sets the tone for your experience, and can be the determining factor in outcomes. Positive birth experience? Increased prenatal stress? Power struggles with your pediatrician?
You always have a choice! We'll be discussing how to find the best health care provider--whether you need an OB/midwife, Pediatrician or a general doctor/nurse practitioner.
Come share your experiences--we learn so much from one another!
As always, our meetings are FREE and all women, babies & children are welcome.
