Posted on December 13, 2019March 24, 2020 by jenngdwpsite

I came up with these Tips for a Positive Birth Experience for prospective students when I first started teaching.

Write Your Birth Story – Before the Baby Comes

Posted on September 11, 2019November 20, 2019 by jenngdwpsite

A couple years back, I was reading the excellent book by Cynthia Gabriel, “Natural Hospital Birth” and came across her suggestion for readers (pregnant people) to write their birth story in advance of their birth. It was brilliant. I thought, ” . . . but OF COURSE! This can help us manifest the birth we…

Posted on October 7, 2018October 7, 2018 by jenngdwpsite

During many of my childbirth preparation classes, one of the things we discuss is how and when to announce the birth.  This was obviously not a huge concern before the advent of social media, but given how effortless it is now to share our thoughts, feelings, experiences, excitement and whatever we’d like without a second…
