		<description><![CDATA[I discovered this post I did a long time ago, and thought it would be useful to include here. ___________________ Well , they aren&#8217;t babies any more really,  but they certainly are tired. Today started at 4 this morning and 15 hours later they are still on the go. The last 3 hours have been a bit full of screaming and battles at every turn. It got me thinking about our sleep routines especially as I was chatting with some other mums today. We have all had struggles along the way with sleep, some people vying to achieve the perceived golden 12 hours sleep, and others simply looking for their sleep to be longer than an hour and a half. I like, where possible, to go with the flow and respond to the needs of my children, and mostly we&#8217;ve managed this with sleep, though we are again on the cusp of another bedtime routine, thankfully this one is fairly uninvolved.  In fact I&#8217;m doing it now.  We&#8217;ve had a bath, teeth brushing and a number of books.  I&#8217;m sat between them writing this on my phone as they both lie cuddling their teddies on the edge of sleep.  I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ITV have brought us a great program on birth in &#8220;Home Delivery&#8221; this March, and it has sparked an interesting conversation online about birth and where you do it. Giving birth at home is something which was done as a matter of course for many years, its only in the past few hundred years that birthing in hospital has become the norm. Remember, of course that birth is a normal physiological function of your body, that was made to do it, just like making a bowel movement!  That being said, would you think it a good idea to get yourself to hospital and have people assess the progress of your bowel movement with instruments and examination, then hang around you whilst you are trying to do it&#8230; least of all tell you to lie on your back and have a number of people around you whilst you attempt this amazing feat!!! Well, no of course you wouldn&#8217;t!  When we ask women to do these things whilst in labour and giving birth, we are asking the same thing, only with a bigger product&#8230; a baby! Being watched, and prodded and in exposed surroundings we are unlikely to be able to perform on command [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#8217;m drawn to write this post today after someone, a complete stranger did her best to undermine me, and my son in public.  My question is &#8220;why?&#8221;. Why would a stranger who hasn&#8217;t spent any time with me or my children feel it is appropriate to correct and undermine my parenting strategies. Is it because she knew that her way had to be better, and that both me and my son would see that her way is much better and therefore she has does a magnanimous act? Or, perhaps, she felt compelled to show off to her partner and children on the best way to handle such situations?  Was her act simply kindness?  Or something completely different maybe? I don&#8217;t know and never will. This situation didn&#8217;t really bother me, I simply smiled, thanked her, and walked off quietly smiling to myself in bemusement.  However, what does bother me is the general attitude that others always know the best way of handling a situation, and that intervening, even in the most minor situations can have a dramatic and quite damning effect on that parent and consequently child or children. You are undoubtedly reading this, and saying, but what happened&#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have news&#8230; after a year or so of indecision about the direction of Sheffield Hypnobirthing, I have made the positive step towards a UK centric Hypnobirthing association. I loved being part of the HypnoBirthing Institute, but increasingly wished it to be more relevant to families here in the UK, which is why I began using the wonderful HypnoBirthing and Me DVD, which my families love. HypnoBirthing has brought so much joy to so many, and I look forward to enhancing the course I offer with a more relevant content. I am now registered with the UK based HypnoBirthing Association, led by Katherine Graves of The HypnoBirthing Centre&#8230; I am extremely excited about providing the best service I can to all my families. With these things in mind, I have rebranded my website with new logo. I hope you love it as much as I do.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Written by a 90 year old This is something we should all read at least once a week!!!!! Make sure you read to the end!!!!!! Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio . &#8220;To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 42 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I&#8217;ve ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more: 1. Life isn&#8217;t fair, but it&#8217;s still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short – enjoy it.. 4. Your job won&#8217;t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will. 5. Pay off your credit cards every month. 6. You don&#8217;t have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself. 7. Cry with someone. It&#8217;s more healing than crying alone. 8. Save for retirement starting with your first pay check. 9. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile. 10. Make peace with your past so it won&#8217;t screw up the present. 11. It&#8217;s OK to let your children see you cry. 12. Don&#8217;t compare your life to others. You [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that there is more than one way to tell how progressed you are in labour? Vaginal examinations are the default way that midwives generally find out, but this is generally because this is what they learned to do when training, and what other people do at the time.  It is not necessarily the best solution way of seeing how well you are doing, and how far off the baby is from arriving. I&#8217;ve found some useful links which talk about Vaginal examinations in greater depth here. This link talks about what a vaginal examination is for, and the alternatives to it, as well as how to do one yourself!! This one is great, and talks about alternatives to vaginal examinations which can actually help a midwife (or other person / you with a mirror!!!) determine how dilated you are without even touching you. Here is more about some Lancet hypothesised ideas about the PURPLE line: exert from Bellies &#38; Babies, more information on the subject available by following the link. Bottom/Purple Line A study conducted and published in the Lancet hypothesized that the  purple line that &#8216;grows&#8217; up the natal cleft can be a great indicator of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I thought I&#8217;d send you an &#8220;eat my words&#8221; email just in case it maybe helps any of the dads you meet. I don&#8217;t know if you could tell but (I suspect like many dads) I was a huge sceptic about HypnoBirthing. I was very keen to be supportive of what E wanted so I kept my opinions to myself somewhat. However, with a maths degree, being a Chartered Accountant and having 10yrs in Corporate Finance I have become a professional cynic and so entered HypnoBirthing in the same way I look at any financial offer that looks too good to be true. All I can say now, is wow. I can&#8217;t wax lyrical enough about it and have been raving to all my family and our NCT friends about it. I&#8217;ll try not go on too much (maybe I will) but in summary I&#8217;d say this: 1. E was just so so calm all the way through. She arrived at hospital so relaxed she wasn&#8217;t sure whether she was in labour or had eaten too much, until they checked her and she was 9cm! 2. She took maybe 3hrs to get to 10cm, and was totally in control and [...]]]></description>
