This expecting mom was afraid that a labor induction would lead her away from the natural birth she wanted.  

But in fact, despite the cervadil, pitocin, and epidural, she was able to stay calm and peacefully push out her baby boy in 30 minutes!  Her family and friends were nearby to welcome him to the world and all was fine in the end.  This reminds us to expect the unexpected, and that we can still embrace our own story, even if it happened differently from the first draft. 

Yesterday on our dear friend Birth Without Fear's blog she shared a story of one of our own, a Pretty Pushers Mama! This is the story of our dear friend, Lisa Berger, President of Cranial Cradle. 

She relives her emotional, truly dramatic story as she tells us of her house being robbed, car stolen, having an emergency c-section, an emergency scar eruption, and a move to New York City all within a matter of days. In the end she is nothing but grateful for her wonderful baby and family!

We're so lucky to have our design studios and our manufacture here in New York and the surrounding area. We help people have jobs. We help people who sew, pack and deliver bring a better quality of life to their children. We hope other people find the supply chains they need to proudly say, "Made in America." This Friday there is a Made in NYC initiative on twitter and all over social media to promote Manufacturing Day on 10.04.13. Use the Hashtags #madeinNYC #HowItsMade and #MFGstory. You can visit...
