Inexplicable Ways

Humbly building the universe

  • Song of the Builders

    On a summer morning
    I sat down
    on a hillside
    to think about God--
    a worthy pastime
    Near me, I saw
    a single cricket;
    it was moving the grains of the hillside
    this way and that way
    How great was its energy
    how humble its effort
    Let us hope
    it will always be like this
    each of us going on
    in our inexplicable ways
    building the universe.

Stats from my last Hypnobabies class

Posted by Inexplicable Ways on June 24, 2010

From my last Greenville Hypnobabies class:

  • All women gave birth in a hospital (Greer Memorial or Village).
  • All had spontaneous, unmedicated births.
  • All arrived at the hospital less than 3 hours before they gave birth!
  • One was a VBAC
  • 2 had pain-free births 
  • There were no complications for moms or babies.
  • And this little stat is mostly for me–all gave birth on a Thursday or Sunday.  I’ve been tracking this trend over the past two years.  What is up with Thursday and Sunday?

I love this program!

So far, all of my students (a diverse group of homebirths/hospital births, first time moms, etc) have had spontaneous, unmedicated births.  In a climate of 1 in 3 births by cesarean and 90% epidural rates, this childbirth educator is a happy woman.

Congratulations to all my Greenville students!  I can’t wait to meet your little ones at our reunion!

    My 1st son was one of your Thursday births from 2008. We will see what day my second son decides to make his entrance in 2010.
