You’ve probably heard the word bounced around in the birth community. Is it really that important to know? Short answer: YES. Rebozos are miracle workers during birth. Especially VBAC moms who have labored before and were declared “failure-to-progress” or “macrosomia- big head, small pelvis.” Literally, every OB should have one- oh wait, it’s too much grunt work for them.

I took a hospital childbirth class, read that manual, did yoga and called it good. Then it ended in a C-Section. Baby #2 I was trying for a VBAC, so I took HypnoBirthing and read that book 3 times over (find it in my list below!) but I still didn’t read any other books about birth. It just didn’t occur to me. I thought my body could handle it all on its own and didn’t see how a book could possibly help. That

Especially since they are experts in making messes, but seemingly incapable of cleaning them up. Is it even realistic to think you can teach a two-year-old to help out around the house??? What I’ve learned is, while teaching my toddler how to be organized can be frustrating and time-consuming, it is worth it.
