Obesity during pregnancy may be a contributing factor to birth trauma and birth defects, such as spina bifida. Many consider it normal for women to gain excess weight during pregnancy.

Obesity During Pregnancy May Contribute to Birth Trauma
February 29, 2008Epsom Salt Helps Decrease the Risk of Cerebral Palsy in Premature Birth
February 27, 2008Ten percent of women deliver their babies before completing 37 weeks of pregnancy. The pre-term infants delivered before 40 weeks are at higher risk for problems, such as cerebral palsy, which is caused from damage to the area of the brain that controls movement. The risk of cerebral palsy in full term babies is about one in 1000. The risk for pre-mature babies is about 50 or 60 in 1000. Obstetrician John Thorp at the University of North Carolina conducted a study to determine if previous indications of the benefits of magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) help to decrease the risk of cerebral palsy in pre-mature babies.

Entrusting Your Child's Life in the Hands of Another
February 26, 2008Recently I saw a picture of a couple throwing a baby out the window of their apartment, during a fire, in an attempt to save him. You could see the smoke around the couple coming out of the window. The photograph showed the baby in mid flight against the building’s wall. What you could not see were the people on the ground without a net, waiting to catch him in their arms. I was horrified!! Why would anyone take such a risk with their baby’s life? Then, like an epiphany, I realized that a parent would do anything, risk everything to make sure that their child is safe and well, no matter what. That family made the heart breaking decision to put their trust in the individuals on the ground and thus ensure their baby’s life.
