This message is going out to those of you who have been interviewed for the book graciously sharing your story.
I had an interview myself with the Editor of My Healthy Beginning magazine earlier this week and as I chatted with her about the purpose of Expect the Best while You’re Expecting and shared about how women find such different and unique ways to enjoy their pregnancies and deal with challenges, I had the experiences and knowledge of all of you in my words.
As a result of your vulnerable and “real” sharing, women will be able to be a fly on the wall of so many women’s pregnancies. What a gift! You have put your story out there in effect saying to women, “Here. Here’s my experience. Take from it what you will.”
Thank you for what you are doing.
Amy
p.s. The interview with My Healthy Beginning will result in an article about our book project in their March/April issue.

What is in a name? Why do I get so attached?
As I’ve talked with pregnant women lately about their name selection process, I’ve gotten present to how much I like McKenzie’s and Jake’s names. I think the names fit them so well. Really, I was puffing myself up about what a great job we did in the name selection process! And that begs some questions: Do the names fit them or are they fitting their names to some degree? Is there something to the idea that people will relate to a “McKenzie” in a certain way? Would you be surprised to learn that McKenzie is an energetic girl that loves dancing, listening to music and expressing her opinions? Read the rest of this entry »

Music. It’s therapeutic, a mood lifter, a companion, a means of escape, a way to get in touch with our intuition, simply fun. Music can fulfill many purposes for us. I find that pregnant women often intentionally use music to help them feel good and get in touch with what they want.
I thought it would be fun to compile a list of our favorite songs to listen to during pregnancy!
What are your 3 favorite songs to listen to during pregnancy? Please leave a comment at the bottom of this blog entry by Wednesday, August 5th and share them with us.

We’ll track the songs you share and put together a list. This list will then be made available as a Playlist on iTunes!
Have fun connecting with your music! And, thank you for sharing your favs.

Supriya wanted to have a natural vaginal delivery and it didn’t quite go that way. She was in labor for 27 hours, pushing for four or five hours. It seemed so long to her. She explains, “We kept going in all these different positions. Get in touch with your inner animal, growl, yell, all the coach things. Anyhow, nothing worked, and I remember looking at the clock at some point during all this and thinking, okay, let’s just do a c-section. Like I had made this decision inside myself to just do it rather than this whole natural delivery that I had planned. We didn’t go in for the c-section until a good couple of hours later. It was quite the neat experience, actually, when they reached into my belly. Read the rest of this entry »

I co-facilitated a Tiara Teleconnect conference call the day after St. Patrick’s Day about how to create luck. (You can listen to the recorded call by going to the “Community – Listen in” section of the Tiara Coaching website www.tiaracoaching.com). It’s an interesting concept. Can you create your own luck? Well, we assumed that you could and explored how one might go about claiming the luck of the Irish for themselves!
I’ve realized since I got off the conference call that I’ve had an experience of previously feeling like I was going to be completely unlucky in an area of life — then proceeded to generate luck in that area of life. The area of life is pregnancy.

Expect the Best while You’re Expecting is primarily about expectant mothers making choices that work really great for them. During this important and emotional time, I like to see women paying attention to their thoughts, feelings and energy to make choices that are fully aligned with who they are and the type of pregnancy they would ideally like to experience. I think it’s an important time to be intentional. And…wouldn’t it be great if all people were making choices that worked for them in all areas of their lives?! Could this even be possible??

So, I’m writing this the day before I get on a plane to spend 6 luxurious, fun, margarita-filled days with my sister in Mexico. I’m proud of us – my sister and me – for creating this. We both had babies last fall. She gave birth to twins in August and my Jake was born in September. We’re giving ourselves a treat. I am so looking forward to heart-to-heart talks, getting to know my sister – and who she is now – better, listening to a foreign language, relaxing by the pool without worrying about anyone’s schedule – other than, when does the buffet open?, dancing and drinking and laughing a lot! Oh, and feeling that warm, warm sun!
In order to experience this, I’ve got to get out of the car, which will have my husband and 2 kids in it, in the morning. Read the rest of this entry »
