A mom, with the EDD of 12/22, has contacted me looking for a newish doula who might charge her less, in the range of $200 - 600. She lives in Suffern, NY and will be birthing with the midwives at Full Circle in White Plains.

Hi Everyone
As some of you know my work involves hypnosis and also freestyle dance and
movement. I am excited to be presenting a workshop in Hastings on Sunday
December 6th : Healing the Spirit through Trance. This is a celebration and
release of stress, a boost to the immune system and generally a fun 3 hours
(2-5pm).
If you are interested in this wonderful chance to dance and relax in between the
holidays please call me to reserve a spot - it's only $60 and a great chance to
meet holistic people at the new Human BodyWorks space at 32 Main Street,
Hastings-on-Hudson.
Love and kindness

Hey doulas and birth-workers! There is still room in this childbirth class coming up in Nyack in a few weeks if you know of any one looking to get a class in before the holidays. With love and gratitude, Deirdre

Hi my friends...
I am excited about this childbirth education series here in Nyack ... wedged into the busy holiday season. Seems there are many mommas-to-be nestled deeply into this winter season, and wanting an intuitive, holistic childbirth class offering. There is room for a few more couples and I'd welcome more local Rockland families. The connection and friendships expectant parents make in their childbirth class often carries them right into the exciting, blissful and challenging time of new parenthood.
Please share the news of this class with any one who might be interested. Good for those expecting a baby some time in the mid winter through April due dates. The classes start Wednesday December 2nd at The Rockland Parent Child Center in Nyack.
With Love ~ Deirdre
Natural Childbirth Education
in theBirthing From Within tradition
Wednesday Evenings
For 4 weeks starting
December 2nd
6 – 9pm
In the heart of Nyack
BIRTHING FROM WITHIN® childbirth classes honor childbirth as a profound rite of passage, not a medical event.Pregnancy, labor and birth are a journey to the core of who we are. A woman goes within to discover her strengths, wisdom and power and with the birth of her baby, she emerges deeply changed as a woman and a mother. When the baby is born, so are the parents, "born".
These classes will prepare you for these transitions by taking you on a practical journey through the stages of labor & delivery, woven with natural and empowering birth concepts. Topics include creating a supportive environment whether birthing in hospital or at home, pain coping & breath techniques, labor support and doula techniques, understanding choices available to you, anatomy of labor & delivery, birth ritual and more.
Facilitated by Deirdre McLary of Nyack Birth Services.Deirdre is a doula, childbirth educator, lactation consultant and new parent mentor with over 10 years experience supporting families in the Hudson Valley & NY Metro Area.
She's had two pregnancies, one where she lost twins at 17 weeks due to "incompetent cervix" and one singleton at 9 weeks. I think she had a few chemical pregnancies as well. Will that make a difference, or do only pregnancies that went to term work?

I've used hospital grade and Medelas and I don't think the hospital pumps are better...but I'm not a pro on this. I rented a pump myself, years ago and the pumps now are at least as good as those old monsters in the hospitals. But, she must have her sources. Has she ever been pregnant? If she has, lactating should be relatively easy as compared to an adoptive mother who's never been pregnant. (I've had a few of those who breastfed, also!)
Subject: Re: [hudvalleybirthnetwork] best pump for inducing lactation?
Hi Lauren,
The consensus seems to be that she should rent a hospital grade pump for the induction phase at least. I'll pass this on to her though in case she wants to buy a pump for later use.
Katie, I know someone who has a brand new Medela Pump & Style for sale. It was never used and the owner is willing to sell it for $150.00 If she wants it, have her call me or you can call me. I have to go out of town at the end of the week so the sooner the better, if she wants it. 914-472-7658.
Subject: Re: [hudvalleybirthnetw ork] best pump for inducing lactation?
Hi katie,
She should ckeck out Jack Newman's work on inducing lactation. He is a Pediatrician, IBCLC in Toronto, and has written alot on the subject.
I would recommend a Classic or Symphony(Medela) , or Lact-E(Ameda) .
Is she local? she might want to consult with Mona Gabbay,MD if she is in the NY area. She specializes in Breastfeeding Medicine. Her phone # is 914-632-7999.
