My favorite Pregnancy Movies

My favorite pregnancy/baby movies are  "Babies" & "The Business of being born"

I could give you the summary of each movie but I hope that you take the time to see these movies in an objective way; and form your own opinions.

The first movie the "Babies" I loved! it was relaxing and eye opening on how babies develop in any type of environment and thrive and live healthy lives as long as there is love. And even when we think to judge how a kid is being raised across the country babies are smarter than we think and all babies deserve to live in an enviroment filled with love. Mother nature is not a force to be reckon with and wiser than we can imagine.

Im sure you can find this movie on line, on youtube or on your local library even on any streaming movie provider (netflix,hulu,etc.) but just in case here is the link  i found:

"The busines of being born"The second movie I am recommending is a movie I stumble upon by accident. Right after I found out I was expecting I wanted to know everything! I mean everything about the delivery, what happens? why and what is it no one talks about it?
 Well this movie was a big eye opening on the history on how birthing has evolved in the USA and the world i guess. It was a big way to start a conversation with my husband on what kind a doctor and hospital or venue we wanted to give birth to our baby.
This movie woke up a sense of " I must trust my doctor" If Im having an epidural I want it to be on my terms, when is an induction safer ? when is a C section my only option?..I made it my goal to be well informed so I could make the best decisions for me and my baby. I didn't automatically dismissed any options; it just opened my eyes a bit more.

Here is the link to that movie:

If there is something I learn is the more questions I asked the doctor the more comfortable i felt. Informing my self  the more knowledgeable I was the less I would  have to worry that special day. The  less questions I had that day the more focused I was on most important task in my  life, delivering my baby.
I hope this post helps some mom out there.

Things to think about before going in to delivery room

Things to think about before going into delivery room.

Who you want in the room with you from your family members?

Do you now your nurse or a midwife nurse?

Do you want an Iv or mobility?

Now your birth plan and now you can change it at any time.

DO you know what to do when your water breaks?

Bring extra clothing for you and the baby

Have a pediatrician or Talk to the one assigned to you at birth

If you are breastfeed ask for an expert to help you. Now that there is always a risk your baby will be allergic to your milk.

Who will you assign  to help you with the paper work at the hospital?

Who will drive you home?

This post I just wanted to throw the possibilities and topics out there.

hope this post helps a mom out there.

Much Love,

Anny.

Vegan Mommy's Have Super Powers!

 I have been vegetarian for about 5 years, when I started my Yoga Teacher Training I started to dwell in veganisim and ever since I have been struggling to become a complete Vegan because cheese is my biggest pitfall. No I don't miss the meat or anything like that but come on! some brie cheese or feta on my salad off!! Im telling you I struggle!
 So these days I take it a day at a time and a good dish after the other. and I keep telling my self that Vegan Mom's Have Super Powers! and maybe their biggest super Power is AWESOME HEALTH! and a great example to the babies by eating healthy and consciously.

The good news is San Diego is super Vegan Friendly and I have a great  Foodie! Friend! & Sister in law! that has become a complete Vegan and started her own Blog! " The Breezy Vegan" that when I read it inspired me to keep my goal of being vegan! and to keep in touch with my blog! both need dedication, time, commitment and love!

Breanne

Oh! I also want to mention, that I was vegetarian through out my entire pregnancy and my baby is perfectly healthy. For any expecting mothers that are worried about the Vegan Diet lacking in protein and other vitamins; as you read on will learn that there are many vegetarian food choices with all the vitamins that an expecting mom and baby need for a healthy development.
