Taking control of your birth means first taking control of yourself. Healthy moms with healthy babies have normal births. This is one of my favorite phrases and I use it often when I teach a class. It's meant to be an encouragement to moms. No major health problems? Then feel free to plan for a normal birth and be sure to question anyone who wants to start in with any interventions.
Even when health issues do arise it's not necessarily a reason to start panicking. Most often it merely means that your health provider will need to be more vigilant about your care so that potential problems are spotted before they become an emergency. Note: I said POTENTIAL problems. Don't let anyone cause you undue stress simply because of a blip in the proverbial radar.
But even with that in mind, health problems are the number one way to end up in the path of interventions, and the worse the problem, the bigger the needed interventions. Even your home-birth midwife who believes so completely in your ability to give birth will have to drop you like you are hot and send you to the hospital if your health gets too out of whack.
But I digress.
Healthy moms. Healthy babies. You have to have to care for the first in order to get the second. Before we go further, let's clarify something. "Health" does not mean "skinny", it does not mean you have to be able to run a marathon. Take every mental image you have of your head. Now is not the time to start dieting or get onto a new extreme fitness routine. In fact, it's my humble opinion that some of these extreme "health" fads are soon going to prove not so healthy. I don't think extremes are ever healthy.
When seeking to avoid health problems it's important to remember two things.
1) Eat
2) Move
Simple enough right?
Now, I'm not a dietician, and there are truckloads of resources out there that have suggestions on healthy eating for pregnant women. I'm not going to give you a step by step eating plan here. If you are interested in something of that nature The Brewers Diet is often recommended.
Here's what you do need to know.
I like to start by asking two questions: Is it real food? - and- How close to the original source is it?
Real food - I define this as anything you could theoretically grow yourself. Fresh fruits, veggies, real fresh meats, fresh eggs, milk - these things are real.
Then ask yourself, how close is it to the original source? Where exactly did your meat come from (much of what you find in the grocery store has been tampered with, although it's still better than your overly processed cheeseburger). How many additives are in that cheese? How many times have the nutrients been pasteurized out of your milk? I understand you picked up the "Vegetable Stir Fry" version of a microwave dinner, but are those veggies really veggies anymore after what they've been through?
Guess what - real health takes some work. So does real birth. Lean Cuisine isn't going to get you through your pregnancy with any kind of real health. To get that you have to have real foods and real foods usually require some form of preparation (personally I think raw steak is gross even before you factor in bacteria).
Once you have determined that your food is indeed real and as close to the original source as your personal beliefs (I know many don't believe in raw milk, though I'd like to see that change - there are some potentially great benefits to raw milk) and your pocketbook will allow (cause let's face it, frozen veggies are often cheaper than the fresh ones), you can begin to look at the following criteria for your diet.
Protein. Lots and lots of it in healthy sources. Your overly processed cheeseburger does not count. I'm going to take you back to high school biology for a moment, try not to panic. Our bodies are meat. Meat is made of protein. Your baby has muscles and joints and bones that are growing at an incredible rate. Therefore your baby (and your body) need lots of protein to keep up. Inadequate protein can cause a whole host of pregnancy problems.
Fruits and vegetables. I promise, you are not getting enough. Did you know that our bodies don't just use the vitamins found in veggies? There are thousands of nutrients that are even smaller - micro nutrients - that science is finding may be even more important than even the vitamins we try so desperately to supplement ourselves with. Thus far the only way to get them is from whole fruits and vegetables (and preferably as unprocessed as possible, it takes very little heat to kill off many of those nutrients). Does your meal or snack contain fruits and veggies? Find a way to add some! ^^
I promise if you are concentrating on these two things, the other things like carbs and fats will fall into place much easier.
Which brings us to moving: exercise. I've been through three pregnancies, only one of which (my second) I managed to stay active during. I've been there ladies - I KNOW it's hard. I KNOW you are tired, but I can promise the rest you might get isn't worth the hardship on your health and your body. Just like you don't have to start following a crazy diet, you also don't need to start working lifting weights and running for hours on end every day. If you want to do that and have the strength and stamina to do it without overdoing it, knock yourself out. For the rest of us, here's my little tip.
Real health is having the strength and energy to do what you need to do in life (work) and still have some leftover (play). Even something as simple as 15 minutes of yoga or dancing in your kitchen can make all the difference in your day. Five minutes here, five minutes there, it can all add up. If you are looking for some inspiration or just a few videos to get you started, I highly recommend you head over to the Fit 2 Be Studio (check out the button at the bottom of my page*). Beth has some great things going on over there as well as a great community to help encourage you!
Following these tips is not necessarily going to guarantee you the health you are looking for (especially if you were particularly out of shape when you started), but they are going to get you that much closer! The healthier you are, the more you can trust your body will do what it was designed to do, no interventions needed!
-------------
^^ Getting fruits and veggies is incredibly important and can often be incredibly hard. This is why I encourage women to think about using Juice Plus+ to bridge the gap in their diets. After researching it and seeing the benefits in my own pregnancy it is a recommendation I honestly feel obligated to pass along. Please see the statistics for yourself.

The Buck Stops With You Mom
I got quite a bit of great feedback following my last post, and it has inspired me to write a small series on the subject.
The buck stops with you mom. No one will be experiencing your birth but you. No one will be making your birth decisions (hopefully) but you. It can seem like a pretty large burden to bear, but guess what? The same goes for parenting. Would you expect your pediatrician to tell you that you absolutely CAN'T put your child in school because he/she is too stupid? What if he said you CAN'T breastfeed, let your baby stay with a sitter, or even use a pacifier? Just try giving parenting advice to the nice lady next to you in the checkout line. She's pretty likely to give you the evil eye.
So if we aren't willing to let others take over our parenting role, why are we so eager to give away our decision making rights during birth?
When the buck stops with you, it will often mean getting out of your comfort zone. Welcome to parenthood. "When a baby is born, so is a mother." -Unknown. This quote is so true, but the birthing process begins long before your baby takes his first breath. Being a parent will require you to get out of your comfort zone. Being a parent will require you to make some sacrifices. Being a parent will sometimes require you to make some hard decisions and then stick by them.
But guess what? Being a parent is also one of (dare I say THE) most rewarding experience there is. Your birth is a preparation for this. There will be hard decisions. You will have to stand up to SOMEBODY when they begin to question your birth decisions (friends, your family, your OB - just about no one gets off the hook on this one). Then of course, there will be sacrifices involved in the act of giving birth. No one gets out of this one either, though many women try really hard. Even with all the strength involved, the reward - the birth of your baby, in whatever form - is worth every moment!
I want to make a short disclaimer here. I firmly believe that the vast majority of women are fully capable of a normal (natural) birth. I believe every woman should be given every possible chance to have one if that is her desire. However, we live in a world that is broken - a world where things don't always work like they should. This is where you begin to move out of the realm of "normal". This is where interventions begin to be a blessing - most often that's what they were meant for! I like to encourage couples NOT to think of natural birth as being the "WIN" while everything else means you lost. That is absolutely not true. What is true is that most women CAN have a normal birth, and as long as you are prepared to make the decisions that are right for you and your baby if things progress outside the realm of normal, you still come out the other side a mom and a winner! It's just another version of the same game and may require some different playing strategies.
So, how do you increase your odds of having a normal birth? Well, that's what this series is going to cover! Over the next few days/weeks we'll cover some of the basics - health, education, and empowerment!

Stop Blaming Your OB
Hi! Welcome to my first ever blog post!
I'm sure some people are going to read this and think, "Wow. This is odd for a natural birth blog." I hope I'm not losing my entire follower base (all 4 of you... HI!) and ruining my carreer forever with this one.
Dear crunchy community... Please don't crucify me!
Everyone else, please read on, then sign up for a birth class!
OK... disclaimers overwith... on to the topic at hand!
Let's admit it. The more natural birth becomes a "trend" in this country, the more people learn about neonatal and maternal mortality rates as they relate to unnecessary interventions, the more we start to point the finger at the obstetricians.
Let me clarify something here. I'm really doing my best not to make blanket statements. There are definitely good AND bad O.B.'s out there, and it's my sincere hope that as more and more women take control of their births that those "bad eggs" go out of business. Litterally.
I personally have had one medicated hospital birth, one birth center birth, and one home birth. Of the three, I definitely preffered the home birth (it was much like the birth center birth, minus the car ride). However I have a sister who's an RN in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). Unfortunately she sees every home birth that goes wrong. They are rare, but when you see every single case gone wrong it tends to skew your perception of things a little bit. If you saw every single car wreck in the whole U.S., you'd probably never get in a car again.
But I digress.
The point is, my last two births drove my sister crazy. She's all for natural birth, she just thinks it should happen in a hospital, just in case. It's one of those topics we usually have to agree to disagree on. She knows how messed up the system can be in our country. However, her argument to me is, "How can we change birth in this country if every person who wants a natural birth does it at home? We need strong educated women to show the hospitals what natural birth looks like."
Folks, on some level I have to admit it. She has a point.
Take the following stories into consideration. Both are completely true.
I once interviewed a midwife to find out more about her practice. She asked me if I had given birth naturally before. The reason she asked is that if my answer was "No" either due to a previously medicated birth or being a first time mom, her criteria for my care would change slightly. She said that she now required all her first time natural birth moms to read five natural birth books (dads got away with only 3, lucky ducks) and every mom was REQUIRED to take a natural birth class. The reason for this is that she had seen the following scenario one too many times:
Moms would come to her clinic asking for a birth center or home birth. They would rave about how they had been born at home, how their mothers had all natural births or how they had seen a friend have a natural birth and how they were so excited to have a natural birth themselves. They figured since they'd signed up to give birth with a midwife (and outside of the hospital to boot) then they were good to go. Then the big day would arrive and as labor got harder and harder she had too many moms giving up and quitting, begging to be sent to the hospital for an epidural. She had found as the years went on that too many moms just weren't prepared for the work of birth.
Then there's Carla. When she was pregnant with her first child she read every book she could get her hands on. She took a good natural birth class. She knew why she needed to avoid IV's and how to relax so her body would work effectively. When she arrived at the hospital she agreed to a hep-lock, allowed herself to be strapped to the monitor (mostly to keep the nurses happy), but then she told everyone to stay out of her way. Her baby boy was born completely naturally. Only after the fact did she find out her OB's cesarean rate. It was high. So high she almost how to wonder how she escaped the knife. He told her something every mother needs to hear.
"If every mom came in here as prepared as you were, I might start to think that natural birth works!"
Incidentally, her following two births were also natural births in a hospital setting.
When I teach a birth class, it is my sincere hope that couples walk away with the tools they will need to empower themselves in whatever situation they find themselves in. Hiring a midwife is great, but it's not a "get out of jail free" card. Subsequently having a baby in a hospital is does not sign you up for automatic abdominal surgery.
Really, in the end, the buck stops with you mom. No one is going to experience your birth except you. Not your husband, not your doula, not your care provider. Going in completely cold turkey is not going to get you the birth experience you want (unless you want someone else to make all your decisions for you, in which case knock yourself out!). Being pepared, educated and empowered, however, will - especially if you decide to stand up for yourself if you do end up with one of those pushy "bad" O.B.'s. But realize you WILL have to stand up for yourself. It's rare for them to honestly be able to force you into anything against your will. Taking a birth class will help teach you how to handle those kinds of scenarios.
So how do you empower yourself for a great birth?
1) Get educated. Read positive birth stories. Read books. But more importantly (maybe most importantly), take a birth class. Nothing is better than having a live woman who's been there done that be available to pass along wisdom and answer your questions!
2) Hire a doula! Our culture is one of the few where birth is no longer a woman's social event. Mom's, Grandmothers, Sisters all used to join a mother and aid her as she was giving birth. There is something to be said for having a caring, understanding woman available to you while you give birth, especially someone who's passionate about birth and has some nifty tricks up her sleeve!
I could list a plethora of other things like staying healthy and ridding yourself of fear and negativity, but I figure these two are the essentials and I like to keep things simple. I'll save all that for another posting.

Holiday Class Schedule
Welcome to Instinctive Birthing!
I'm thrilled to announce that my baby boy (FINALLY) made his debut on the 18th of October! Since this was a full two weeks later than I'd expected him to come, I've taken a little extra time off from teaching.
The holidays are swiftly approaching and it's time to get your birth classes in before the New Year (or just before your baby gets here!)
There will be a modified class schedule based on the holidays. The normal class schedule (2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month) will resume in January.
I am prepared to offer either of the following based on interest:
- A back to back Saturday weekends format (starting next weekend the 17th and running through the 22nd)
- or a two day Saturday and Sunday weekend marathon (which will alternate every other weekend)
Also, since work schedules are often odd during the holidays please remember that I offer private classes as well. You are more than welcome to join the public class on whatever days you are available, then schedule a private class for the session you will be missing.
Private classes usually run shorter and therefore can often be done during a long afternoon/evening.
Please look over the class schedule options then contact me to schedule your class!

COMING SOON!!
Watch out for a new class coming this summer! Prenatal Nutrition and Fitness!
Your health matters so much, but it matters now more than ever! Did you know that your health during pregnancy not only affects how you feel, but it can affect your baby down to the DNA level. More importantly, being healthier can change not just how you feel, but how you look, your quality of life, even your own DNA!!
Many of us get overwhelmed during pregnancy being told what to eat and how to eat it. We get advice on everything from prenatal supplements to exercise. How do we consolidate all that knowledge into something REALLY useful?
Starting this summer, come to a short evening class where nutrition and wellness are put right at your fingertips! We'll discuss nutrition basics, meal planning and recipes, practical steps toward being healthier, physical fitness, and helpful ways to deal with pregnancy "bummers" such as backache, heartburn, and fatigue! Husbands/Partners are encouraged to come so that they can learn how to live healthy too (a discount will be available for couples).
Please email me for more information about classes and when they will start!

WHO I AM
Natural Childbirth Education Classes
Exciting news!
Dear friends. Thank you for stopping by! Please feel free to take a look around!
As I wrap up the final paperwork on my certification I'm undergoing some major changes, starting with a new name! Please bear with me as I make modifications to the information listed here and as I build a new webpage! I'll do my best to ensure that all information is up-to-date and easy to find. Once my new webpage is up and running I'll delete the information here but leave a link. Thank you for putting up with the mess!
Who is Megan Hutchings?
Hi! My name is Megan Hutchings. I am a stay at home mom of two precious boys, the wife of the most wonderful man in the world, and a firm believer in Jesus Christ. I love learning, crafting, and all things related to labor and birth!
Although many people do take classes offered at their hospital, many fail to realize that these classes are not necessarily geared toward making you PREPARED for your birth, as much as making sure you know your options for pain medication. Since a hospital is - first (and often foremost) a business - let's face it, this is a good business policy!
However, the happiest birth happens when a family is allowed to make choices based on the most information possible so that, at the end of the day, they can leave saying, "I made the BEST decision for me, my baby, and my family!"
My goal is to give you the tools to do just that! From understanding how to work with your body for a non-intervention (natural) birth or knowing why a cesarean might actually be your best option, to learning how to choose and communicate with your caregivers to ensure that you receive the BEST prenatal and birth care, my goal is to be sure you can make an Informed Choice!
I offer day-long intensive classes that are built to ensure that you get the most information possible without having to try and schedule too much time out of your crazy life! Come learn, laugh, and walk away feeling secure about labor and birth!
Still unsure? Here's 9 Reasons to Choose an Independent Birth Class
Why An Independent Class?

Don't the hospitals offer those?"Although many people do take classes offered at their hospital, many fail to realize that these classes are not necessarily geared toward making you PREPARED for your birth, as much as making sure you know your options for pain medication.
