Fetal Monitor access
Note to women preparing for birth:
The Unisex hospital gown has no opening for the fetal monitor so they will be pulling up your gown an awful lot :( The pretty Pushers labor gown, however, provides easy access for the fetal monitor so you can keep your skirt on during labor :) Get comfortable. Get mobile. It's your choice!

So, then, what difference does it make where you birth? What impact will it really have on your overall labor and birth experience?
...A Pretty Pushers Mama Story
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!

In Her Own Time
Ever feel rushed? Like every day? Taking our time, doing it our way --that's how we want to live but it's not always how we actually live. Then we get to birth and everyone's staring at us, looking at our privates, scrutinizing us with clocks, rates and their own busy schedules. Everyone wants the baby now. Well, they can wait. In fact, they need to wait.
Patience is a virtue in the best of times, but it's priceless when dealing with our bodies in labor.
