Podcast - Homebirth 101: The Home Court Advantage

This is a great podcast about all things pregnancy! I have barely missed an episode.

Homebirth 101: The Home Court Advantage
What exactly is homebirth? Who is a good candidate and why might you want to consider a homebirth? How and why a homebirth is safe. When is a homebirth not recommended, and what's the plan of action if hospital transfer becomes necessary? What are the costs and what does insurance cover? And, thoughts on young siblings being present during a birth. Midwife Marla Hicks is this week's guest on PregTASTIC Pregnancy Podcast.

Heartburn = Baby Has Lots of Hair?

I look forward to finding out if this "Old Wive's Tale" one is true!

I have begun to experience more and more heartburn with this pregnancy. With Zyler, I only had it at night when I lay down, and well into the third trimester.

Some natural remedies that can help (which I have yet to try):
  • raw almonds
  • yogurt
  • spacing out eating and drinking
  • papaya tablets
 Have others to share? It seems to be worse with spicy foods, so I will probably need to watch that.
