Quote of the Week
The parallels between making love and giving birth are clear, not only in terms of passion and love, but also because we need essentially the same conditions for both experiences: privacy and safety.

The Art of Midwifery
A nuchal cord is present in about a third of all deliveries and usually presents no problem. The issue, therefore, is not if the cord is present, but whether it is able to function in its delivery of blood and oxygen to the fetus during labor and delivery.

Wonderfully Made
We women get to give birth if we are fertile and if we desire to. This is a gift to women that men do not get to enjoy. It is life expanding. Our body is designed by our creator to birth. This is something only half of the world's people get to do. We worry and carry fear about the act of birth but "Fear not!" Your body is perfectly made for this, and it almost always works. The 35 percent cesarean rate and the nearly 99 percent intervention rate tell us immediately that lies are being perpetuated into the minds of pregnant women, beginning possibly with their own birth experience.
The culture gives false signals about birth from the beginning of life. It may begin with this woman's own birth and her bad experience becomes imprinted on her mind. Women, take back your birth. Fear not. Stay away from negative people. Find a midwife who believes in you and has confidence that you can do it; if you are afraid, find someone who will convince you that you can do it. Stay away from modern tactics as the medicalization of pregnancy has overtaken this sacred time. Stay away from routine ultrasound. It does not improve outcome. Stay away from medical people who look at you and say things like, "Well, we will see if a baby can fit through there," and other wrongful words. Words hurt and words heal. Choose the healing words of a midwife. You are not sick. You are sacred, and so is the baby inside of you. One negative sentence said to a pregnant momma can derail her confidence and her ability to birth as she was designed to. You are wonderfully made.
As Ina May Gaskin tells her moms, "Do not listen to bad birth stories or negative talk. If someone starts to tell you a negative story or thought, tell them you are pregnant and your midwife says you are not to listen to those negative words."
Let your oxytocin flow for birth. If you are having a normal birth, stay out of the hospital for your sacred event. If you go to the hospital, get a doula. Elizabeth Davis says the midwife "needs to run on oxytocin, too." On that note, find yourself a midwife who flows oxytocin!

News and Research
Length of Birth Then and Now
Although the modern world has been able to speed many things up, it hasn't been able to speed up vaginal births. According to a US government study, US women are spending two to three hours more in labor than they did back in the 1960s.
On average, US moms today are different. They are older, heavier and their newborns are bigger. Katherine Laughon, lead researcher at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, says that even taking these factors into consideration, labor is taking longer than it used to, and doctors may need to rethink the definition of "normal" labor.
The findings were based on two government studies done decades apart. Today's US women were far more likely to have an epidural—55 percent, compared to just four percent of counterparts 50 years ago. Oxytocin, which stimulates contractions, was given to 31 percent of mom's in the recent study, compared to only 12 percent 50 years ago. And in the 1960s, only three percent of mothers in the study had a cesarean.
Laughon said the findings show there needs to be a redefining of "normal," adding, "I think we need to revisit the definitions of 'abnormal' labor, and the timing of the interventions we use."

The Cord and the Strength of Life
I have observed babies being birthed with the placenta detached and following right behind them for over 20 years. Throughout that time I have kept mental notes, observing, recording, pondering. Then one day, finally, it all added up. The explanation is a short umbilical cord, a phenomenon that requires us to allow time for the baby, the cord and the placenta to descend slowly through the birth canal, in the wisdom of nature, for a healthy and natural birth.
My first encounter with a short cord began with a false labor. The mother thought this was the day. She called me, and I stayed with her until labor ceased several hours later. The mother and baby were fine. There was no good reason to intervene, despite the fact that she was multiparous with 4 cm dilation and the baby was not engaged. I warned her of possible cord prolapse and asked her to be aware of her baby's activity. A couple of days later she called me again. The birth was very quick and the baby was born with shoulders and body entangled in a barely pulsing cord. The newborn had some blood on his bottom because the placenta had separated at the time of birth. He required stimulation and oxygen, but it was all resolved quickly and within the realm of the normal.
I have watched vigilantly for short cords ever since. Two weeks ago, some twenty years after I noticed it for the first time, it happened again. This time it was with a mother who had had three babies. The last two had been very fast. She had always had mild contractions before going into labor, but this time she had more. As she was multiparous, I initially did not think there was a problem. About ten days after her due date I thought she was going to have her baby. Her uterus looked so low that it was "by her knees." But it did not happen.
"Something is strange," I thought while checking her. I sighed. The baby was floating, even though the uterus was very low. It seemed the baby ought to be engaged, but he was not. I then listened to the baby's heart tones and found normal heart tones but with minimal decelerations. The heart tones were at 140 and descended to 126 or so in the middle of mild contractions.
I listened to the heart tones every three days. The mother was noticing movement. We decided she should try to induce herself through nipple stimulation and an enema of medicinal plants. I gave her an exam in which I stimulated the opening of the cervix. The contractions began, and she dilated another centimeter easily. The heart tones remained within normal ranges. It is important to be careful in this situation. If heart tones consistently descend to below 120 and fail to recover sufficiently, especially if the mother has been in labor for a long time, transport to a hospital facility. If all remains normal, you can continue with birth at home, although you must be alert. Have everything ready, because the birth will be very fast. This can occur because the cord itself is short or because the baby is entangled, shortening the cord.
However, everything stopped after a few hours. The mother was already at 5 cm, but the cervix remained inflexible. Although the baby's head was in a good position, he was not engaged, and therefore was not exerting pressure. After the second attempt I sat down to think. I concluded that we were dealing with a short cord. In any other situation a vaginal exam, some nipple stimulation and an enema would have produced labor. But beyond the mother and me, the wisdom lies between the baby, the cord, the placenta and the uterus.
You can confirm that you are dealing with a short umbilical cord by observing the abdomen. During contractions, and sometimes without them, the baby appears engaged, even though a vaginal exam reveals that she is floating. It is important to avoid interventions that force the mother's body to enter the birth process before the placenta and uterus are ready. The fundus has to descend with the baby. This process takes time. Contractions that cease despite dilation of 2–5 cm in a mother with previous fast births and no other complications indicate the possible existence of a short cord. Observation without intervention is important in these cases.

Birth Q&A
Q: What kinds of issues have you had with the umbilical cord at birth? How often have you seen the cord around the neck and how many loops at most? Please share what you did in these circumstances.
— Midwifery Today
A: Last year, I attended a sweet little 6 lb baby girl with a 48" cord. Her daddy said it must be her extension cord. All that cord and not one bit wrapped around anything!
— Janet Titmus Delettera
A: I had a cord break once. Baby was born to his chest, screaming his head off but wouldn't finish coming out. I tried to see if there was a growth or tumor keeping him from coming out. I had my hand in the mom feeling along the baby's back (she was on her hands and knees) when we heard a loud pop and the baby flew out of the mom. I caught him in midair, lowered him to the bed and noticed about three inches of cord, limp and not bleeding. The cord was only 12 inches long. Everyone but the midwife was fine—I got about 20 gray hairs that day.
— Margie Dacko
A: I had a day at the hospital where a doctor was in a cesarean. The nurse called me to stand by for the vaginal birth. I went into the room and found the mom on her back, pushing with the head crowning. She couldn't get it any farther out. She was a multipara. I flipped her to her left side, and the head came. I then discover nuchal cord x 3, very tight. I could not slip it over the head. The nurses were getting a little worried and wanted me to clamp and cut the cord, which I would not do. Mom was on her side with the next push, with her top leg way open. I got the shoulder coming, and then somersaulted this big ol' boy out of her. I laid the big guy on the bed and unwound him, and he started getting his blood back. He pinked up, cried, and looked great. Momma rolled back over and he went on her abdomen. We let that blood pump back into him before we cut the cord. She delivered intact.
— Vicki Gilbert Ziemer
A: I had a baby born several years ago with at least four or five wraps around the neck, diagonally around the body, leg, arm, etc. He somersaulted out just fine and spun unwrapping himself with my help. It was so fun to watch.
— Pamela Golliet
A: This is a family story: My husband was born with his cord wrapped four times round his neck, then once around his feet. To this day he will NOT wear a tie. We've been married 38 years and no, not even for our wedding! He hates anything around his neck.
— Patricia Edmonds
A: [Response to the above comment] That's so funny because my daughter was born with the cord around her neck and she loves having anything and everything around her neck. We really have to watch her.
— Adele Chlebeck
A: One baby I caught had such a short cord that she had to stay between mum's legs until the placenta delivered—it was most odd to see. Another had an amazingly long cord wrapped around the neck, across the abdomen and around one leg, but because it was so long and wasn't affecting the baby's ability to maneuver in the birth canal, the birth was not complicated. My advice is to reflect on each birth and see if, in hindsight, you can understand how that particular birth unfolded. I often notice something during the birth, and then once the baby arrives, it all makes sense.
— Sally Kelly
Wisdom from the Web
When a human baby is born it needs to begin breathing air into its lungs in order to survive. However, it would be a mistake to imagine that a baby's first breath contains their body's first experience of life-giving oxygen. Oxygen is provided for the fetus throughout the entire pregnancy by the mother, through the placenta. Following birth the placenta continues to provide oxygen for approximately five minutes while blood pumps, to and fro, through the umbilical cord. This is part of an ingenious plan of God's (or nature's) to allow the newborn time to "unfold" his/her lungs and to gently make the switch from living underwater to breathing air through the lungs. Remember, the infant is not receiving "placental" blood or even the mother's blood through the umbilical cord. The baby is retrieving its own blood supply from one of its own functioning organs that just happens to be inside its mother's body.
— Echo Child's Play; Green parenting for non-toxic-healthy homes
After your baby's natural childbirth, the umbilical cord does not just lie limp not functioning. For several minutes after birth, the cord is still very much alive and active, still pumping blood and oxygen into your baby. You should not cut the cord until it has completely stopped pulsating. Changes in the cord's Wharton's jelly then produce a natural internal clamping within 10–20 minutes after birth. But as long as it is still beating, it is still benefiting your baby.
— April Asorson, childbirth educator
Its richness in stem cells is probably what makes Wharton's jelly most interesting to scientists. But the great thing about this substance is that it essentially provides a physiological cord clamp. It reacts to changes in temperature, and ensures that the internal structure of the baby's cord collapses. Of course, childbirth is exactly that event that caused those changes in temperature. After the cord stops pulsing, it turns limp and white. Wharton's jelly is the substance that means that clamping the umbilical cord is not necessary. The human body does this all by itself!

I was at a birth last year where the mama reached between her legs to touch her baby girl as she was being born. The baby reached out and grabbed hold of the mom's finger and held it until she was all the way out. The mama kept saying, "My baby! My baby! My baby is holding my finger!" It was beautiful—I still get teary-eyed when I think about it.

New York -- Walmart's U.S. employees will pay between 8% and 36% more in premiums for its medical coverage in 2013, Reuters reported.
For its most popular plan, which covers individuals, the payment per bi-weekly paycheck is going up by $2, or 13%, the report said. Some other plans would have higher increases.
The chain said average costs its employees will bear should only increase about 4.4% in 2013, due to the elimination of some high premium plans, its move to offer free heart and spine surgery to most employees at six health care centers, and provision of other services, such as access to a healthcare advisor. That is less than the 9% average increase expected for all American workers next year, according to a study by human resources firm Aon Hewitt, though it isn't clear whether the figures are comparable.

I'm usually pretty creative about using up leftovers, but sometimes leftover steak kind of stumps me. I know, lots of you are thinking "Leftover steak, what on earth is she talking about?" But when I make something like Grilled Flat Iron Steak With Chimichurri Sauce or Cuban Flank Steak, there will always be leftovers. I don't like re-heated steak so a salad seems like a good way to use the leftover meat, and this salad made a great summertime lunch.
Leftover Steak Salad with Feta Vinaigrette and Kalamata Olives
(Instructions for one salad and dressing recipe which makes 4 servings; recipe created by Kalyn.)
Ingredients for each salad:
2 handfuls romaine lettuce, washed and broken into bite-sized pieces
2-3 ounces leftover steak, cut into thin strips
10-12 Kalamata olives (or less)
fresh ground pepper to taste
Dressing Ingredients (enough for 4 salads)
1/2 cup purchased Vinaigrette (I used Newman's Own Olive Oil and Vinegar)
1/4 cup crumbled Feta Cheese

How evil is Monsanto? According to professional activists, new-age hippies and easily swayed consumers, Monsanto employees are sons and daughters of the devil that work together to kill people and destroy the planet.
I just cannot see people enchanted with destroying Monsanto as anything other than out of touch with reality. First of all, Monsanto is by no means the only company working to feed the world and increase farmer income with genetically modified traits; there are many companies today. Second, refusing to believe in science and believing scientists are liars is ridiculous.
But nothing seems to sway protesters from targeting Monsanto. The latest batch of protests is being organized to be held May 25 around the nation under the theme of "March Against Monsanto." The organizers of the Kansas City, Mo., version of the protest have been handing out flyers and using social media to the fullest extent to organize participants.
The very first line of the long-version mission statement of "why we march" condemns genetically-modified foods with completely false claims or complete lies. "Research studies have shown that Monsanto's genetically-modified foods can lead to serious health conditions such as the development of cancer tumors, infertility and birth defects." Other than by unscrupulous quasi-scientists, GMOs have never been proven to cause any health conditions.
And enticing every organic farmer to join the protestors seems to be a goal. "Organic and small farmers suffer losses while Monsanto continues to forge its monopoly over the world's food supply," the protestors' "mission statement" claims. Turning farmer against farmer really confuses the general public.
Those who are truly concerned about the environment for honeybee health have not pulled Monsanto into the controversy about low numbers of bee reproduction and colony collapse, but the uninformed protesters say Monsanto is to blame in their mission statement.
The falsely dubbed federal "Monsanto Protection Act" legislation has provided inspiration for activists to claim the company is the "benefactor of corporate subsidies and political favoritism" of corrupt government officials.
The short form flyer hand-out explains "why we march" as follows:
- To protect our food supply.
- Support local farmers.
- Spread awareness about harmful effects of genetically modified food.
- Promote organic solutions.
- Expose the cronyism—big business and government.
- Bring accountability to those responsible for the corruption.
The mission statement ends, "We will not stand for cronyism. We will not stand for poison."
If you don't see a reason for concern about being associated with the March Against Monsanto, then you probably are a person believing in covert operations and hidden agendas by everyone associated with agricultural science.

There's times that guys have to compose themselves and you've got to be able to throw guys over the boards and be able to go out there and settle the game down and get the momentum back."'
