Welcome, and Hello!
My name is Terry Woods, owner of Birth Practices, and I am so excited to have you join me in learning about birth!
Why start with the basics?
I created Birth Basics for the Expectant Parent to provide you with the information you will need as you begin your journey of labor and birth. There are many options for childbirth available, and having a basic knowledge will help you to make informed decisions and choices.
Healthy Eating
Many discomforts of pregnancy can be relieved or even alleviated with proper nutrition.
Baby being monitored on the External Fetal Monitor
While in labor, the baby will be monitored using an External or Internal Fetal Monitor.
Laboring in bed with the birth ball.
The birth ball is a very useful tool and can be used in many different positions during labor.
