New to Mothering and motherhood!

[Mama2ChicknLil]

Hi everyone, I have to say, the misery of being exhausted and sick all the time has really made being pregnant for the first time less than fabulous. Reading through my friends stockpiles of Mothering magazines, and working through these forums has really got me excited!!!

I'm a CLE and 'Parent Coach' working with pregnant women, new moms, and their families (who are primarily low income, high risk in Central and south Los Angeles) providing support around health, self care, birth, breastfeeding, and attachment parenting education...needless to say, I have quite a bit of research and training under my belt! Doing it for yourself though...unchartered territory!

This pregnancy was a total surprise, and I'm planning for a UC (cant afford a midwife and CANT birth safely in a hospital), and I need all the emotional support I can get!

I am so excited to be a part of this community!
