Great new stroller website!!
nicksmama | | 0
Hi All! I just found an AWESOME new website for researching strollers: www.stroller-source.com. It covers all stroller models!! And it has all the spec & feature information for every stroller, plus reviews from people who have the stroller. You can even compare strollers side-by-side! They don't sell strollers, so I feel like it's pretty honest. It totally helped me pick out my new double stroller!

Tori Kropp RN | | 0
Scheduled birth, labor induction ever-increasing cesarean section rate, elective primary c/section...It’s enough to make your head spin. What does it mean? How do you make sense of it all? I’ve made a 1-minute video found at http://thejoyofpregnancy.com/content/blog/ outlining the current trends around all of this.

PREGNANT ON PROZAC ?
Contrary to popular belief, pregnancy is not always an exciting, happy or glowing experience. Clinical depression affects 15-20% of pregnant women, sometimes hitting so hard that the moms-to-be attempt suicide. Mothers of multiples are at even higher risk with more than 25% suffering during pregnancy and postpartum.
The new mother of eight in LA needs regular mental health assessment. Prenatal and postpartum depression is a hidden illness with potential grave consequences.
Many women are on life-saving anti-depressants before pregnancy and can’t afford to go off or other women develop a deep depression while pregnant and don’t know where to turn for relief, as most doctors are uneducated about treatments during pregnancy.
Dr. Shoshana Bennett has clients who are ready to tell their stories on radio or TV. Jennifer wanted to avoid anti-depressants during pregnancy, but ended up needing one. Marlo refused medication and was able to get through her pregnancy with natural treatments.
Dr. Shosh knows the struggles. She is the survivor of two life-threatening, undiagnosed postpartum depressions and the founder of Postpartum Assistance for Mothers. A pioneer in the often-ignored field of postpartum depression, Dr. Shosh is the author of the newly released Pregnant on Prozac, The Essential Guide to Making the Best Decision for You and Your Baby, a hard hitting look at the various natural treatment options available for pregnant women today. Many women panic and scramble for answers after learning they’re pregnant. This is the only book of its kind. Dr. Shosh will provide simple, practical tips for wellness.
