Photos of Your Birth Class: by Regina
What better way then to capture these life time events...those fun and intimate moments with your partner doing birth classes, experiencing your labor and birth together and most especially bonding with your newborn for the first time during your birth... Your Daddy was there at your birth!
I wish I had someone who took photos of the memorable moments I spent with each and every one of my babies. I would love to go back in time to remember and to look at them. And when my children are grown, how wonderful to be able to show them our precious moments together. I'd like them to experience with me what I experienced with them at their birth, during our rooming in together, our one on one breastfeeding sessions and our sleepless nights, their special bonding time with Daddy and a whole lot more. I'd like my children to see the sacrifices I went through for them because I loved them and to tell them it was all worth it. I'd like them to know how precious and important they are in my life and how much I treasure each and every one of them. Pictures do that for us. It freezes the moment...how I wished...
I am Chiqui Brosas-Hahn, first a dedicated wife, a loving mother, then a passionate childbirth educator and an avid breastfeeding advocate.
No better joy did I feel than to see my daughter give birth to her daughter the Mother Nature Way and to see her determine and dedicated to breasfeed her daughter for years to come. What a joy to see how much motherly influence I had robbed on to her. The sacrifices of parenting is not all in vain. How wonderful to see and experience a new generation dedicated to mtoherhood and for her to pass this on to her daughter, to another generation. And I pray to another generation and to another and so forth and so on...
She quite her job to be a full time loving wife and a caring mother. And now she decided to do something she loves...

PCC 211 Childbirth Class Photos (Part 3 of 3)
My last and final post for the first class of PCC 211 (May Class 2012 in Tesa's Yoga Studio in Pasig)... Its been awhile since I last attended my Mom's childbirth class. The last time I sat in a group class, I was still a single teenager. It was always interesting to me, but never relate-able. This time I attended with a different perspective. Just like the other students, I was married. Childbirth and breastfeeding was also very fresh in my memory.
I still remember the apprehensions I had about giving birth, even more about giving birth naturally! I remember how my husband wanted to offer his support, but often times didnt know exactly how. I remember all the new things happening to my mind and body - the emotional and physical roller coaster of being pregnant for the first time. I remember knowing all this information about being pregnant and giving birth and wanting to impart the knowledge to my husband...
Its amazing how the class helps in all these areas. Its a very casual and comfortable atmosphere that does much more than classroom teaching. Its a very open and free-flowing session. What starts off as a seemingly formal class ends up to be a congregation of friends sharing common experiences and learning from each other.
Here are some snippets from the first class of PCC 211. I chose the photos I like best, but I have much more in file. Feel free to contact me at reginahahnsiy@yahoo.com or +63 917 5342881 if you are interested to take a look of if you want to purchase a copy of your photo/s.

Article: Is My Fetus Well?
Fetal movement counting has been proven to be a safe in telling the condition of the fetus. It is a test that a pregnant mother can do all by her self. It is based on the premise that a healthy fetus has several periods of activities in a day so that no movement or a sudden distinct decrease in the movement may mean a decrease of oxygen to the baby. Some obstetricians may ask their patients to routinely perform this while others only suggest this if the mother is considered high risk and there is concern for the baby’s well-being.
Fetal movement counting is done late in the pregnancy, on the third trimester and usually on the thirty second gestational week and onwards unless your care giver sees it necessary to perform earlier. There have been conflicting studies about the conclusions of the test. Some show that there has been a decrease in the number of stillbirth from low risk women while others do not show any distinct advantage. A disadvantage may be in the length of time it takes to do the test, usually as long as an hour or so a day and every day for a given period of time. It may also cause needless anxiety to the mother wondering if her baby is moving or not and if it may mean her baby is not well. This increase in the level of anxiety is sometimes deemed as unnecessary pressure on the overly concerned mother especially since there has been no clear improvement in the results of the outcome. However, the advantages are; it is non invasive and easy to do. It is also convenient because one does not have to go to the hospital or her doctor’s clinic to perform the test. Best of all it is cost efficient. Other mothers find it amusing since they get to know the activity levels and movement patterns of their baby.
It is normal for babies to move several times during the day. Some are remarkable active while others are not so active. They have several active movements when they are awake and quiet periods when asleep characterized by less movement. Reduced activity is felt in the latter part of the pregnancy however it does not slow down remarkably. Other wise this may mean there is valid concern and it is best to advice your care provider who may perform more tests to rule out the problem. A nonstress test may be performed or even an early delivery if necessary. When observing the fetal movement counting, we are actually looking for a marked decrease in the movement. However if a dramatic increase in activity is monitored over a few hours, it is also note worthy and must be reported as well. This could mean a decrease in the oxygen of the fetus which could perhaps be a result of a placental problem or pressure from the umbilical cord.
The method is very simple. It is done to keep track of the number of movements your baby does. One possible way is the count-to-ten method. Set aside a certain time each day where you can be relax and undisturbed so you can focus on your baby’s movement. Chose that period in the day where you observe the baby moves the most. Usually it is in the evenings after dinner. It may also be the most convenient time. Chart the movement daily, roughly at the same time. Do not worry if you miss a day every now and then. When you are ready to begin, choose a comfortable position. Start to record the time it takes for your baby to move ten times. Hiccups are not included. Sometimes it could be a long squirm and other times a quick kick. A long movement must be distinctly recorded from the start of the movement to the end of the movement and is considered only one score even if there were several fast kicks that came along with it. This varies on an individual basis. If your baby is asleep, you may try to wake him up by making a loud noise or you could wait until he is awake. The important thing to note is how your baby’s number of movements compare with his own chart and not with another’s. If there has been no activity within twelve hours, report this to your doctor.

Birth Story: Mia and Mon Teoseco Congrats to your angel!
18 hours agoMia De Leon-Tioseco- Thanks Chiqui for the blog post! I gave birth last Sept. 18 via CS, a full day after my water bag started to leak. I was stuck at 1cm despite efforts to speed up contractions. Thanks to your birth class, we understood the whole process (no clueless looks when we hear the doctors talking) and why I ended up with a c-section, so no regrets on our part. Baby's safety comes first! Sloan came out healthy and we had no problems with breastfeeding. I'm still breastfeeding and expressing
milk and I plan to continue until he is one year old.

Article: Skin to Skin Contact of a Newborn to his Mother is Essential
A new mom is skin to skin with baby in the labor room.
Photo © iStockPhotoStudies have show a lot of advantages with this process. To mention some of them are;
1.) cardio-respiratory stability was achieved sooner
2.) mother's maternal attachment to the baby was keener
3.) mothers touched their babies with affection more during breastfeeding and so breastfeeding outcome was better
4.) more maternal oxytocin were released
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=Matthiesen+2001+oxytocin
5.) Babies are kept warmer.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12725547
There is something magical that happens that the eyes cannot see when mother and baby is together and not separated at birth. There is no better place where infants belong then in their mothers arms. I say no to unnecessary intervention at birth and to immediate skin to skin bonding of infant's at birth.

Birth Story: Chami & Robbie Candelaria, Photos of Hospital Procedure for CS.
Thanks to Chami & Robbie Candelaria
- Hi Chiqui!!! Thank you ha! Yes, pls do! We really wanted to have a normal delivery but i have bicornuate uterus and its safer to deliver via cs! Even then, the class opened our minds to what could happen during birth (we really expected for the worst) that's why we were very much prepared during the big day! Haha you can see how relaxed we were! And few weeks before giving birth, i was in and out of the hosp and was advised to have bed rest due to pre-term contractions! During those times, robbie would coach me on the appropriate breathing techniques! Now, baby and I are in excellent condition
Now, baby and I are in excellent condition
