Well, not MY pregnancy... A pregnancy blog. That I write. Since I can't take any doula clients or teach any birth or breastfeeding classes right now, I started a "Dear Abby" style blog where people can write in questions about breastfeeding, pregnancy or childbirth. I'm trying to do weekly content. It's so new, I haven't gotten a single question. If you know anyone who is pregnant or nursing, I would love if you'd share my blog... It keeps me busy while my life is on hold.
I'll share it with my daughter, she is nursing my 1 yo grandson. And she belongs to a group of a bunch of other new mothers so I'll tell her to pass it along!

Emmaline: thanks so much! I have built up so much knowledge around birth and breastfeeding, I didn't want it to go to waste!
Camarogal: one way that you can get involved is to contact your local WIC office. They hire breastfeeding peer counselors: women who have breastfeed at least one child and are willing to be phone support (and sometimes in home support) for moms enrolled in WIC services. There's no special training needed, just a big heart and willingness to help moms in need!
Brandi: that would be amazing! The more people who share this, the more people I can reach. My goal has always been to help women know they have options. As long as they have done their research and really thought about what would be best for their family, I am supportive of whatever direction they choose to take their pregnancy, the birth of their child, or the feeding of their child. :)
Will do girl I would have killed (metaphor only lol) for you when I was breastfeeding all three of mine each was a different experience and it seemed that at that time it wasn’t as mom friendly in public etc I had so much I just had to figure out on my own and it was pure determination that made me follow through with all of them but each of my three was such a different experience my name is Brandi cook if you want to send me a frien request and I will wait to post until after that way I can tag you and they will ask questions and you can answer and kind of take over from there they can tell their friends etc. girl I’m all about networking and you have a knowledge that you don’t have to leave the house to share. I would love to help :)) I’m talking about facebook
Sheesh, sorry about the late reply!! My email for some reason thinks the Ben's Friend's emails are sometimes spam. Very confusing!
Anyway, I don't have a facebook page set up for the blog yet. Maybe that will be my project for the week!
Thanks for sharing, everyone! Katrina W.
