Giving Birth With Confidence. New *Birth Book* Helps Moms Learn How to Have a Healthy Birth From Top Doctors

Online, August 13, 2013 (Newswire.com) - "Imagine planning your wedding. You hire a wedding planner, you spend tens of thousands of dollars, you spend months of your time overseeing each detail down to napkin colors, flowers, music and who sits next to who at the reception. Yet when it comes to pregnancy and birth, most women spend 15 minutes figuring out what doctor accepts their insurance and if they're conveniently located. That's it." says Sarah Blight, founder of YourBabyBooty.com, a website which helps 1,000s of pregnant moms have an easier labor & a healthy birth, with their unique approach to birth education.

During pregnancy, Your Baby Booty teaches expectant moms by connecting them directly to many of the world's most qualified and leading pregnancy and birth experts. Experts these women would normally never have the opportunity to learn from.

Sarah continues by saying "childbirth is the most important, life changing experience we'll ever have, yet we spend way more time planning a one-day wedding party or even researching which hotel to stay in during vacation? That doesn't make any sense, does it? We're here to change that."

Your Baby Booty sees an increasing number of pregnant women wanting and expecting more from their providers during pregnancy & while giving birth. With a national c-section rate of 33% (according to the CDC), they're seeing more women ask questions like Katie (one of their members) asked: "Are 1/3 of all women in the US really incapable of having a baby vaginally? Why in the world does one hospital have a c-section rate of 45%, while another hospital across the street has a c-section rate of 12%? What kind of maternity care am I really getting?"

Couples are busy during pregnancy. And only getting busier.

Here's how Your Baby Booty is shaking up the traditional pregnancy and birth class scene. Instead of an inconvenient institutional style classroom setting, requiring couples to summon the energy to fight traffic for weeks on end after long days at work, couples can now conveniently log on to yourbabybooty.com and learn about the specific pregnancy and birth topics they want, when they want, how they want and interact if they want (all from home). Instead of being taught only from one birth class instructor's perspective, moms learn from hundreds of trusted doctors, doulas, midwives, lactation consultants & other moms.

A first time mom in the cornfields of Kansas can now directly learn and benefit from all the experience of a 30+ year veteran OB/GYN practicing in California, or even from across the world in Australia, etc.

Veteran Doctors, Doulas, Midwives, Lactation Consultants, Fitness experts, Nutritionists and Real Moms teach classes on specific topics & their most important lessons learned from all their real life experience. Having helped tens of 1,000s of moms give birth and meet their babies, these experts teach their unique perspective on what most moms do, don't do, wish they did and wish they knew during pregnancy, in labor, giving birth & after birth. They also teach what the best available medical research & evidence shows about giving birth and having a baby.

In just a few months, Your Baby Booty has featured classes with many of the world's leading medical experts and inspirational moms (Cindy Crawford, Dr. Bethany Hays, Dr. Sarah Buckley, Dr. Lucky Jain, Dr. Stuart Fischbein, Barbara Harper RN, the Mayo Clinic, Vanderbilt School of Nursing) who have inspired, educated and encouraged new moms to be excited and confident, as they make important decisions along their journey through pregnancy and birth.

Many of the options these experts teach, traditional birth classes never mention. The founding husband and wife team at Your Baby Booty (Sarah and Steve) think much of traditional birth education is inadequate and has failed to serve moms best interests (during pregnancy and while giving birth).

"How can moms have a safe and healthy birth if they're never even taught what the best medical Research and Evidence says, what those medically proven safe options are, and how to have them during pregnancy & while giving birth?" asks Steve.

"We've talked with 100s of moms who have major regrets while giving birth... the most important day of their life. And 9 out of 10 times it comes back to not being taught the options that would have likely helped them have a healthier birth & better outcome after giving birth. That's unacceptable." said Sarah

Sarah added... "For example, why is it moms are often told, 'when you check in, you'll be hooked up to an electric fetal monitor that will help by continuously measuring your baby's heart rate', but they're never told the best medical Research and Evidence available proves this type of monitor (for low risk births) increases the probability for c-section by 1.7 times, increases the likelihood for a forceps/vacuum delivery and does not improve the outcome when giving birth to your baby? And they're also not told they have another safe way to measure baby's heart rate called intermittent fetal monitoring, which all the research & evidence does support. So, we have 'maternity care' that despite the clear and well-documented medical evidence, actually goes against the evidence and unnecessarily expose moms to risks without any medical justification."

In addition to having leading experts teach, Your Baby Booty has a very positive, uplifting and supportive style to help moms relax as they're learning about having a baby...."There's no one right way to birth a baby. But there is a right way for you."... encourages their site throughout. Pregnant moms commonly share they "love the site because it's so positive and not fear inducing like a lot of other birth education" they've seen.

Midwives, doctors, hospital births, birth center births, home births...Your Baby Booty encourages moms in whatever kind of birth they decide is best for them. "Women will make different decisions. That's ok. Not being taught their evidence based options from which to make those decisions, is not." said Steve .

Consistent with the site's personality, Sarah & Steve just released their brand new 2nd book called "Birth Book." The book highlights four of their most popular classes taught on the site:

1. "How To Be Relaxed, Calm and Confident In Labor and While Giving Birth" -with Dr. Bethany Hays (top OB/GYN and Mom of 3).

2. "How To Be Fearless In Pregnancy & While Giving Birth" -with Dr. Stuart Fischbein (top OB/GYN and Dad of 4).

3. "OB/GYN or Midwife? How To Choose the Best Doctor or Midwife For You During Pregnancy" -with Kate Glynn (Mom of 2).

4. "How To Have Less Pain In Labor (even if you're getting an epidural)" -with Michelle VanOudenallen (Mom of 2).

Plus, "Birth Book" shows the actual research and medical evidence helping expectant moms make their important decisions during pregnancy, in labor & during birth with confidence. The medical evidence comes from the world leading medical research institutions:

• The US Cochrane Center at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health

• The US Library of Medicine & National Institute of Health

• The Journal of Perinatal Education

A quote from "Birth Book" says ... "When a woman goes through the process of labor and birth, she learns that she is capable of doing something that's really hard, that is really tiring, and that is really uncomfortable. If she is helped to be successful, and given the accolades that she deserves for getting through that process, there is nothing else in her life that will ever scare her..." -Dr. Bethany Hays"
