I am not sure the place you’re getting your information, however good topic.

I must spend some time finding out much more or understanding more.
Thank you for great info I was looking for this information for my mission.

In reply to Natalie Anne.

Don’t worry about Colleen. She’s the exact same person who makes hundreds of fake accounts on Instagram to hate on Gen. I used to be friends with her on Facebook, then I realized she’s obsessed with bullying Gen and anybody who supports her. Absolutely pathetic.

Great article! We officially need to be friends now. Ha! It would be so much fun to sit with you and swap birth stories and talk about all the birth-y, crunchy, homeopathic things!

This was a wonderful post, Gen! My daughter is currently 39 weeks & 5 days with a pretty big (estimate: 8 lbs 9 ozs) baby girl. I only wish I had learned more about acupuncture & everything Jasmine taught you sooner. She (my daughter, Morgan) is having back aches, trouble sleeping & everything else that full term mommies go through. Luckily there was no morning sickness (why do they call it that? I was sick from the time I woke up until the time I went to bed!) only a couple bouts of dizziness. I am going to arrange for her to see an acupuncture specialist for during labor, delivery & postpartum. I wish I lived in the PNW, it’s just beautiful up there. You & Jared have 3 absolutely precious children! I love your blog & always look forward to the next posts 🙂 Much love from Maryland.

I’m very interested in medicine! Acupuncture is interesting and probably a bit of the placebo effect. Studies have shown that sham treatments and actual acupuncture have similar results. The power of the mind is amazing. I think it’s cool how we can respond so well to various treatments that are essentially neutral. Reminds me of the placebo back surgery that has helped people with chronic pain. This is one of my favorite subjects to read about!

Although I’m not a mother and only 16 years old, I found your posts about being a mother to be really interesting and informative!

While there will be no more wee babes growing in my body, I will share this info with those around me. But I had to comment because, as has been happening regularly, I LOVE your writing. Your words, your tone, your down to earth style…..I find it very gen-uine and refreshing. Thank you ?

While I’ve not yet experienced the wonder of childbirth myself, I have had the honor of helping my sister with 2 home births attended by midwives and will be helping her again in a few months. I was able to use my massage therapy training to help her greatly during labor, and have seen the many benefits of skin-to-skin contact with new babies. It definitely helps the baby with all the things you mention but it’s also so beautiful to see the deeper connection it fosters between the parents and baby.

I was just talking to my sister and she was sharing how she frequently feels that those who are in the public eye typically follow the ‘standard protocol’ for pregnancy and childbirth, so it is a great joy to see someone like yourself, with influence and a following, being open to more natural ways of childbirth. Thank you for helping to normalize breastfeeding in particular, and for sharing your journey and the things you have learned along the way. Love your blog!!

Thank you for sharing this with us, Gen. It was very insightful and inspiring and I enjoy how open you are about your pregnancy experiences with us readers. I, myself, have never been pregnant (yet, I’m 21 and still have TONS of time) and this is definitely something I will come back to if and when the time comes. I never even would have thought about acupuncture for pregnancy. Everything you shared has definitely made me think twice about it now to try for muscle relief. I also wanted to tell you how empowering I found your recent instagram post to be and I thank you for that. It was very personal of you to share with us for National Breastfeeding Week. I especially enjoy that you had Shep there with you and that it seemed like such a normal thing in your house hold and I found that inspiring. I hope one day, I will be half as good of a mother as I see you to be. Thank you for yet another wonderful article! xxx
