Dive In.

I am obsessed about birthing, attachment parenting, and breastfeeding.

This started by randomly selecting to watch the business of being born on Netflix. (If you have yet to see it, it's a must!) God then continued to grow this desire by introducing me to other mothers who have birthed this way, a different way than what had been presented to me since I was born.

This fascinated me greatly, everything I had thought I had known about birthing, breastfeeding, and parenting was all wrong. I would constantly be researching, my mind being blown at the many lies the birth and parenting community throws at us. It's astonishing to me how much of this is related to making money. Our country is obsessed with making money, to the point where we outspend every other country, but face a greater risk of dying during childbirth than almost every other country, including the underdeveloped nations. I don't know about you, but this fact scares the crap out of me. How can no one see that obviously America is doing something very wrong in the birthing world, and other less educated countries are doing something right?

I have a passion that cannot be quenched over this. I have an overwhelming desire to share with the world the facts, and destroy all the lies that have been built up inside all of us. It's revolutionary.

Why is it such a big deal that I'm obsessed with all these things? I am not a parent. I am not expecting. I am not planning on having children for at least another couple years. But I look at the facts and the research, and am overwhelmed with just how much people do not know about birthing, breastfeeding, and raising children.

I want this blog to follow my journey of exploring the world of birthing, parenting, and breastfeeding before I have children.

We begin preparing for every other career years and sometimes even decades before entering the job market. But how many of us actually research what kind of birth we want to have, what kind of parent we want to be, and if we want to breastfeed or formula feed, until you have 9 months to prepare. This job is way too important to put off educating yourself until last minute. Pregnancy is such a vulnerable and exciting time to dive into this overwhelming, never ending research.
