Is homebirth safe?

Blue                  Fuschia                  Lavender NEW from Flying Woman Designs ~ Born at Home Birth Plaques! I can't get enough of Ann Allen's colorful designs. I'm so pleased that Ann has agreed to make these sweet home birth announcement plaques for Attachments. The heart/home design has long been a symbol of home birth for me. My friends and I used to make a block print design with a similar symbol on tee shirts for our friends who had babies born at home. Ann will personalize your plaque to match your baby's birth statistics in her unmistakable funky style. Each plaque measures 7.25" x 7.25" x 3/4" solid poplar. They are protected with polyurethane, and comes complete with a hanger. The sides are painted so there is no need for framing. Three colors schemes to chose from, blue, fuschia and lavender. Each plaque is made to order and will have it's own original personality, no two designs will be alike. Plaques take 2 - 4 weeks to complete and ship. It is Attachments policy that personalized items are non-returnable. Click the images above to see a close-up of the plaque. #PLAQUE $45 Blue Fuschia Lavender Please enter the child's name, birthdate, time of birth, weight and length: Birth Announcements, by Susan Kirk Found exclusively at Attachments.

Katarina and her five year old brother Magnus watch their baby brother being born and tell about it in this charming and fact-filled book. The book takes on the voice of Katarina but also has an introduction for parents. "My goal with this book is to teach our children that giving birth is a natural, safe and fulfilling process. Unless the birthing mother has an illness that needs special medical attention, it need not be treated like a disease. By including our children at birth they can see that it is a normal and healthy physical event..." Illustrative photos from Anne's third childs actual birth at home in a birthing tub make this book a rare find. Buy the book and DVD together or separate, see below. Paperback #BK-BRO $12.50 Waiting for the Sun, by Alison Lohans Each summer day Mollie wakes up and wonders if this will be the day that her new baby brother or sister will be born. It's so hard to wait, almost like waiting for the sun to come up in the morning. Mollie lives on a farm, and her lazy summer days seem to creep by as her dad fixes the tractor, she feeds the chickens and watches the lightning storms in anticipation of the coming event. A beautifully illustrated book combining photographic and painted imagery. HB, Home Birth #BK-Sun $18.95 We're having a Homebirth!!, by Kelly Mochel I'm excited to add this new title to Attachments homebirth collection. Written and illustrated by stay-at-home mom Kelly Mochel, this cute little book won't fail to keep your child's attention with it's colorful pages and real life language; "The new baby sucks milk from Mommy's boobies because this is how he grows big and strong" I really like that mom in labor is shown in all sorts of realistic laboring positions such as leaning on daddy, walking, bathing, and squatting (while making noises kind of like an elephant). Don't miss adding this new title to your collection! Paperback #BK-HB $6.50 All the Places to Love, by Patricia MacLachlan "On the day Eli is born, his grandmother holds him up to the window, so that what he hears first is the wind, and what he sees first are all the places to love: the valley, the river falling down over rocks....." And so goes the story of two children birthed at home, in a place so beautiful that all who come from there will never forget it, no matter where life takes them. A truly moving book that will fill a special place in your library. HB HOME #BK-PLACE $15.95 © 1997-2011 Lori Thompson Photography
