Pregnancy, Birth and Early Parenthood
Pregnancy, Birth and Early Parenthood
Your Subtitle text
Providing support and resources for Houston area women and their partners as they enter pregnancy,
birth and early parenthood.
This is one of the most important, life changing events you will experience. It is all new, terribly exciting and immensely terrifying at the same time. There is so much to learn, so many decisions to make and so much personal and interpersonal change. A million questions will come to mind during your pregnancy, followed by millions more with the birth of your child.
We wanted to provide you with as many resources as we could think of to make your transitions smooth ones. From childless... to pregnant... to laboring... to mothering... to "familying".
This website contains:
- Information on our services and fees
- A video library and articles of note (nutrition, pregnancy, pain management, attachment parenting)
- Houston area community resources
- Local pediatricians and OBGyns that we recommend
- Products that have served us well for pregnancy, birth and parenthood
- An extensive listing of the authors we put great faith in for each step of the way
There's a secret in our culture...
and it's not that birth is painful...
it's that women are strong.
The key to successful parenting is not found in complex theories, elaborate family rules, or convoluted formulas for behavior. It is based on your deepest feelings of love and affection for your child, and is demonstrated simply through empathy and understanding. Good parenting begins in your heart, and then continues on a moment-to-moment basis by engaging your children when feelings run high, when they are sad, angry, or scared. The heart of parenting is being there in a particular way when it really counts.
