Hello! Welcome to the first entry of the Edible Words discussion. My name is Jessica Solomon. This is a feast of ideas, a great, fulfilling conversation that will leave you feeling fed forever. That’s the best case scenario. Worst case you’ll find out that you disagree in ways you never before believed possible. You will have an opportunity, however, to make your mark, as you were always meant to. Make yourself at home.
I’m back after my 11th was born. God saw to a safe and happy homebirth again!
For all my patient friends - I’d like to share a little personal history with you. All my children were born at home, healthy and strong. A number were early, one was breech, one was posterior, but all perfectly healthy. It’s easier having faith in God during home birth than faith in doctors in hospitals. And while many don’t feel like it’s an option, many more know in their gut that homebirth would be happier, more merciful and gentler to both hearts and wallets.
Also hospital births are LESS earth friendly. There’s always a mess but involving a bunch of hospital workers potentially with active hepatitis infections serving you means a lot of disposable waste and garbage bags going out to the trash or hazardous waste centers. So homebirth is kinder to all. No hepatitis shots needed for babies born at home to protect themselves from infected hospital staff.
