Welcome back to the Simplify Birth & Motherhood Podcast where you can get clarity to empower your informed decision making for your pregnancy, birth, in postpartum, and in motherhood. In this episode, we are talking about part 2 in all things homeopathy and how it is a great alternative for use in pregnancy, during childbirth, postpartum, and with our growing family. I have seasoned mother, homeopathic user, retired midwife, and 10 year Le Leche League leader Jessica Bingaman. Jessica was often compelled to chart her own course. She chose to birth naturally, nurse longer than the cultural norm, homeschool, and use traditional remedies over Western medicine when possible. Throughout her years she often wished that there was someone to coach her through her alternative choices or just listen while she processed how she would walk through the next stage of her parenting. Jessica turned that desire into a passion to take all that she learned and sometimes struggled to put into practice and use it to support other mamas and their growing families. Come listen to learn: What is homeopathy? What does this all include? For some who hasn't used it before, how do you use it and how does it work? What are somethings to keep in mind while using it? What are some common concerns that families have that can cause some hesitation in using homeopathy? Can you use them with other OVC medicine or antibiotics? How is homeopathy used in pregnancy, birth, postpartum, for infants/young/teen/ children for things like nausea, heartburn, headache, pain, cold and flu, allergies, etc. Why do we see homeopathic medicine being used more often in birth environments than others? What can we learn from the use of homeopathic medicine and why homebirth/birth center transfers happen? Do you have questions about your pregnancy, about childbirth, or about postpartum that you wish to get off your chest and would like to receive answers that can bring some clarity and bring more confidence?

Welcome back to the Simplify Birth & Motherhood podcast, where you can get clarify to empower your pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and the early years of motherhood! There is a time for everything, and it doesn't matter what type of clock or calendar you have, time cannot be stopped, rushed, or prevented, and it needs to be observed with patience. In Childbirth, we are seeing more and more cases for moms who give birth resulting to "failure to progress." This is the same reason why majority of the cesarean rate is currently at an all-time high and why VBACS are induced between 39-40 weeks. Failure to progress is responsible for 30% of the cesareans among first time moms (FTM). The root of this issue is because of TIME! When the birth process is rushed, due to time constraints, it can cause some things we didn't plan for to happen in childbirth, can rob us of the birth we want, makes our postpartum recovery and the transition into early motherhood challenging. In this episode you will learn: The time constraints in childbirth in certain birth environments and where that all began. How time is measured in childbirth today and how that affects us as laboring mothers. What is considered a "failure to progress" or "labor dystocia" 6 Ways to advantage of the time you spend in labor.

Welcome to the Simplify Birth & Motherhood Podcast where you get Clarity to empower your birth and motherhood journey with Amanda. In this episode, I am sharing who I am, where I come from, and how I started from a first-time SAHM, to birth advocate, to a childbirth educator, to private coach, and mom-mentor. In the years of my experience of being pregnant, a young first-time mother, birth advocate, and teaching childbirth education, I have heard the same statements such as, "I wish I had known.." or "I didn't even know that was an option for me and/or for my child!" over and over again. I also quickly realized that the knowledge of the basics for pregnancy, child6birth, postpartum, and the early years of motherhood are completely unknown, have been overcomplicated, and have been lost, leaving mothers feeling unsupported and forced to just go with the normal, not for what is healthy and right. We are not all given the road map to motherhood and often times we are not given any well-rounded information or tools for our pregnancies, for childbirth, for postpartum and to set us up for success in the first few years of our motherhood journey. This is why I am here! this is where my passion for you is rooted! - because knowledge can be your power! In this episode: Where this passion all started for me. My own personal journey as a mother. How I taught myself how to make informed decisions. What I currently do for mothers who are pregnant, who are going into childbirth, preparing for postpartum, and how important knowing what our mom gut is guiding us to do in our motherhood journey. Why knowing what the fruits of our informed decisions is important. Why and how I am here for you.
