natural episodomy's, hemorrhaging  and tears and loads of other fun stuff lol  :P ) Hospital births. My 4th I found myself in a tough spot financially (no insurance with any of my births or anything (this was at the time) and I found myself not  being able to afford yet another Hospital birth, I am abviously not going into all the complications or health struggles here, just covering some ground work :) So My husband and I asked our dear friend and A dear lady who was my Doula with  my first baby to be our Midewife she is of course a Midewife! :D I had my first homebirth High risk and all.


****





My THREE DAY LABOR PAID OFF ON THIS DAY MARCH 28TH , 2012 Our Gabriella was BORN@2.25PM After a 50 HOURS ,Physically Pushed for 6 HOURS!! 25 MIN LABOR ON MARCH 28TH 2012 , OUR DEAR SWEET LITTLE GABRIELLA JOANNA MCGARVIE, WAS born 7lbs.2 OUNCES
19 3/4 LONG, a hard but successful HOME-BIRTH!!!!!
quick version.
"After being in labor for days and trying and doing everything we could to get her out, and pushing for 6 hours with NO SHOW!! I really wanted a Water Birth But God had other plans , the contractions just were not progressing fast enough or hard enough, even after pushing for 6 hours strait she did NOT come down the canal, then I started passing out in Ryan's arms , i kept blacking in and out I knew things were getting dangerous , Baby girl needs to come out but If I keep blacking out how do i deliver her?

So i rested for a few min , and I turned to Ryan and said they better take me to the Hospital, sad as it was , I had Ryan move me upstairs real quick before we left , I was upstairs on the toilet , PRAYING SO SO HARD that this baby could come NOW ! And 9 MIN LATER Down the canal and all GABBY WAS born on the Toilet here in our little shoebox !
And thank you to Karla, For being the Best Midwife ever!
  Susan for being my Doula
7lbs.2 OUNCES
19 3/4 LONG
Anyway so I decided to write this post out to help ppl get ready for there Home-births.


***


1) a good olive oil. this can be used by your midwife for perineal massage during birth but also to slather on baby's bum after birth so that their first poops (meconium) can be more easily wiped off :)

2) A camera and batteries. don't forget to have batteries charged and back up batteries ready. ensure your memory card is empty as well.Or if you  have a video camera ready and a tripod.



3)

Natracare Maternity Pads

photo from Amazon.com
4) lots of towels. for laboring and drying off and for the baby and mama after birth. white if you want to bleach them or colors that you don't mind getting blood-stained and potentially ruined. Personally I just used some older towels even colored i think we ended throwing away only one to two towels only :)
Or you can go to your local thrift stores and see what u can find :)

5) Plastic Shower curtain/Liners to line under top of layer sheets to protect the good sheets underneath.

Giving you 3 day old newborn and Up Probiotics & Links to Homemade Formulas (Milk, goat , bone broth based) & links to Store Bought Formulas




Hello all I know i have been needing to write this post out for some time , Weather you breastfeed or you don't , weather you use homemade formula or you purchase store bought and you want to do what you can for you lovely little one  , giving you infant Probiotics is a really GOOD THING :)

GIVING YOUR newborn 3 days older and up:
probiotics.
THIS info is for breastfeeding or Bottle feeding Mama's.

This is what you can do to give your baby probiotics starting at about day 3:
  • Put some fermented sauerkraut liquid on your finger and let them suck.
  • Put some powdered probiotics on your finger and let them suck.  Or put it on your nipple.  Or just sprinkle it on their tongue.
  • If you are bottle nursing or Bottle Feeding, just put some in a bottle and mix it up (just make sure the MILK is not too hot OR the probiotics will be killed ).
For the first 8 weeks, just a tiny pinch will do.  Then at about 3 months old, you can do 1/4 teaspoon once per day.  Gradually increase as they get older, For an example a 3.5 years old, gets 3/4 teaspoon of powdered probiotics each day.   Its suggested to give probiotics in the morning when they first wake up on an empty stomach.

What are some Probiotics i can use ?
Here are some listed below that you can find Amazon or look at your local Supplement store :)

HOW TO GO GLUTEN FREE , A comprehensive Guide To Going Gluten free ( keep checking back for updated and continued Imformation)

How to go gluten free.
So you have either been instructed by your doctor , or a friend or have done re-search on your own and you must go gluten free, Don't panic I know its quite a bit to take in,
What was that? Dairy free and nut free too! The list goes on ?
If it does than this is the place for you .

Keep in mind if you wish to get tested via testing.
Starting the gluten-free diet before being tested for celiac disease makes an accurate diagnosis difficult.
In another Post Link here (POST COMING SOON)
I will talk about how to get diagnosed and all the information that goes along with that.


I will try to break them up if I can :
BE A LABEL READER!!!
Going Gluten free ( if the whole family is going gluten free)

***

First I would start with going through your kitchen and pantry and remove UN-wanted gluten, give it to another family if they can use it ,some ppl do that and some friends hand them some $$ to help get them started on the gluten free path .

What are items I need to Eliminate from my kitchen / Pantry and Freezers ?

1) Remove all Gluten products : Foods/products that may contain gluten:
Beers, Ales, Lager, Breading & Coating Mixes, Brown Rice Syrup, Communion Wafers, Croutons, Dressings, Drugs & Over-the-Counter Medications, Energy Bars, Flour & Cereal Products, Herbal Supplements, Imitation Bacon, Imitation Seafood, Marinades, Nutritional Supplements, Pastas, Processed Luncheon Meats, Sauces & Gravies, Self-basting Poultry, Soy Sauce or Soy Sauce Solids, Soup Bases, Stuffing’s, Dressings, Thickeners (Roux), Vitamins & Mineral Supplements

Stay away from : Wheat (Einkorn, Durum, Faro, Graham, Kamut, Semolina, Spelt), Rye, Barley and Triticale.

Cutting boards ?
Pots and Pans and Knives and Silverware = I find that these item's if properly cleaned with be okay , but if you feel safe or of course if you have a Celiac that has a life threatening allergy to it then best to change all those out too.


How about alcohol?
Distilled alcoholic beverages and vinegars are gluten free. Distilled products do not contain any harmful gluten peptides. Research indicates that the gluten-peptide is too large to carry over in the distillation process. This process leaves the resultant liquid gluten free. Wine and hard liquor beverages are gluten free. Beers, ales, lagers and malt vinegars are NOT gluten free. There are Many Gluten-free beers available .

Remember – Wheat Free is NOT GLUTEN FREE Spelt, rye or barley-based ingredients that are not gluten free. Spelt is a form of wheat.

What you can have – Fresh Meats – Beware of Added Broths and such , broths can contain gluten ! Fruits, Veggies, Beans, Seeds , Nuts, Plain Tofu ( Avoid Tofu with flavoring and such as they may contain Soy Sauce and other items that contain Gluten )
I love eating Seasonally more on that here __________________.

Grains & Starches allowed:
Rice Sweet Brown, White Rice, Brown Rice (and of course we know there are many different kinds of rice , red , black so forth , Corn (Maize), Soy, Potato, Tapioca, Beans, Garfava, Sorghum, Quinoa, Millet, Buckwheat, Arrowroot, Amaranth, Teff, Montina, Flax and Nut Flours Mesquite Flour.





Condiments You can have (if in doubt call and re-search yourself they may of revised there product and I did not know about it , I try to keep up with it all , but its no easy lol !!! )
Soy Sauce and Other along that Line :
They do make a Gluten free Soy Sauce and a Gluten free Tamari Sauce Tamari Soy Sauce, Wheat Free, Organic, 10 oz by: San-J (& they are GMO FREE : ).
***



UPDATE INFO AS OF 03/13/2014
***
Kikkoman Soy Sauces do not list peanuts or tree nuts as ingredients, but are there any nuts at the manufacturing plant? The all-purpose Kikkoman Soy Sauce and the Kikkoman Less Sodium Soy Sauce are brewed at the Kikkoman Foods, Inc. plant in Walworth, WI where there are no peanuts or tree nuts ingredients. Please check the back of your label to see where the product was made.
BUT they are not GMO free :(


I actually prefer and use Braggs Amino Acids in place of my Soy Sauce .
Coconut Secret makes a Coconut Amino Acids as well.

Fish Sauce – We Love Using Red Boat Fish Sauce its amazing and Gluten free and , nut free!
Mayo and Mustard – just not the

Mayo : I make my own Mayo Here is My Recipe for Homemade Mayo (I use Duck eggs but you use your egg of Choice)
But if you wish to buy it these brands are safe :
1) Spectrum Canola Mayonnaise
2) Bestfoods
Gluten-free information on 2/24/2010 from Best Foods web site (www.bestfoods.com):
Gluten and Allergen informationAt this time, all Hellmann’s® and Best Foods® mayonnaise products are gluten-free.
Since product formulations change from time to time, the best advice we can give you is to check the ingredient list on the label.
3) Hellmann's Mayonnaise®
From the Hellmann's website FAQ page (
www.hellmanns.com) on 6/4/2009:
Question: Are Hellmann’s mayonnaise products gluten free?
Answer: At this time, All Hellmann's mayonnaise products are gluten-free (Real, Canola, Light and Reduced Fat). Since product formulations change from time to time, the best advice we can give you is to check the ingredient list on the label. Ingredients that may contain any of the top eight allergens as defined by the FDA, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, fish, seafood, wheat, eggs, and milk or dairy, as well as any ingredient that may contain gluten, are always listed on the label.

Mustard :
1) Q: Are French's® Mustard’s gluten free?
A: Yes, they are gluten free.

2) Grey Poupon’s Dijon Mustard isn’t just a great addition to your meal, but it’s also an award-winning condiment that was given the gold medal in the Worldwide Mustard Competition. Made with mustard seeds, white wine, herbs and spices, this gluten-free mustard pays homage to the original Dijon recipe which hails from a French city of the same name.

3) Annie's Naturals Organic Dijon Mustard . Is gluten free and delicious.

4) Koops Mustard Deli Spicy Brown is Gluten Free

Worcestershire Sauce This is one product I see allot of ppl use in there cooking what I often run into is that they use the reguar familiar brand but that Brand Is NOT gluten free! :(

1) Edward & Sons Organic Vegan Worcestershire Sauce – delicious!!!!! and Vegan too!


2) WanJaShan Organic Gluten Free Worcestershire Sauce - Seasoning, Dressing, Marinading 10 oz
Vinegars : 1. Is distilled vinegar gluten free? Yes, 100% distilled vinegar is made from distilled alcohol and all “pure” distilled alcohol is gluten free. This is true even if the starting material is wheat, barley, or rye. During distillation the liquid from fermented grain mash is boiled and the resulting vapor is captured and cooled. This causes the vapor to become liquid again. Because protein doesn’t vaporize there are no proteins in the cooled liquid.

2. Is all non-distilled vinegar gluten free? Almost, but read ingredient lists carefully. According to The Vinegar Institute, the most commonly used starting materials for vinegar are apple, grape, corn, and rice. If non-distilled vinegar uses .

Pure distilled vinegar is gluten free, malt vinegar is not. Flavored and seasoned vinegars may contain gluten, most typically in the form of malt, so ingredient lists should be carefully read. If wheat protein is contained in vinegar, the label will say so. The single word “vinegar” on a food label implies cider/apple vinegar and is gluten free.
HERE IS A GOOD LINK that goes into depth :http://www.diet.com/dietblogs/read_blog.php?title=Vinegar%3A+When+Is+It+Gluten-Free%3F&blid=16123&page=1

My Favorite Vinegars !
1) Braggs Raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar
2) Four Monks White Distilled Vinegar ( though in all honestly I normally use this for my home made house cleaners ) - (HERE )


OILS To my understanding Oils are normally Gluten-free , Unless Stated Clearly on the label !Salad Dressing (s)
I make my own but I thought I would list some here for you all.

on

Some of our granola products do contain nuts, however these are made in completely separate plants from the rest of our gluten free baked goods. Additionally, our three new cookie varieties (Peanut Butter Coconut, Maple Pecan Chocolate Chip and Salted Caramel Cashew) are also made in a separate bakery. Please check out our product catalog for the list of ingredients in each of our products. )
