The Benefits and Safety Record of Diagnostic Fetal Ultrasound

It is always exciting to "see" your baby all warm n cozy in your uterus...but is it worth the risks to have so many ultra sounds done on you and your baby?
It is your right to say no........

4th Trimester - Loving arms to hold your baby close

"I have said to each of my clients....imagine your baby all snuggled in close listening to your heart beat 24/7 feeling you move, listening to and feeling you breathe, being held close in your womb....to all of a sudden being in an oxygen related world full of loud sounds and sights! There is a time period when we must relate to this new baby in a new world. Hold your baby close, skin to skin smelling you listening to your heart and hearing your words......feeling your calm presence and knowing she/he is safe."
 Cindy Hansen

"The concept of the fourth trimester helps us to understand the transition a newborn must make over their first few weeks earthside and once we understand we find so many ways we can help – but to me the most important facet of the fourth trimester is parental understanding and empathy, once that exists everything else will flow naturally."    Sarah Ockwell-Smith
