Quoting Miarose88:

Hi, I'm Mia a stay at home mom of a 1 year old boy. I did natural birth with him and wore him for a long time, but now have trouble considering he's a big 30lbs and has been the last few months. I still breast feed and I co-sleep with him as well. I want to learn more about natural parenting, as I'm very new to it and kind of fell into it by doing what just felt right!

A lot of us fell into natural parenting that way. We were just doing what felt right and natural to us!

Haha, my sister calls me a hippie. Her husband has started to look into some of the crap that is put into foods and meds and realizes, I may not be too far gone afterall, lol.

Hi!  I am trying to convieve baby #2.  I have PCOS and for my first baby, I concieved using Clomid and got pregnant on the second try.  I am apprensive about using it again and want to go natural.  The problem is I am not aware of the efficiacy rates of natural remedies as they have not to my knowledge been studied.  My chiro recommended a Standard Process Vitamin and natural hormone stimulation therapy to help me ovulate and then concieve.  DOes anyone have any experience with this having had PCOS?  Poly Cystic Ovaries?

I'm sorry, I do not. If you haven't already, you may want to start a new post to ask about this.

I love living the simple life growing my own foods and eating as natural and healthy as possible. With so many people being attacked with cancer it's not worth the risk to me.

Right now it's 15 outside so in very much bundled up but during the summer months you can find me barefoot out in the sun enjoying my day :) wish I lived somewhere the sun always could shine and it never got below 75 lol

I love living the simple life too. I wish we had a bigger piece of land so I could grow more and get some fruit trees. Maybe one day...It's really cold here today, too-I'm in PA. While I'm not a fan of heat and humidity, I think I'd take that over highs in the teens, lol.

Hi, my name is Megan.  I have 2 kids, my daughter Roo who is almost 3 and my newborn son Dexter.  I have decided to join this group because I am trying to switch over to a much more natural way of living.  I look forward to the conversations ahead

Hi Megan. Welcome to the group. I'm sure you'll notice that some moms here are very natural and others are just natural in a couple aspects of their life. It's a great group!

How far along are you?

Quoting azcafemom:

Hello, so glad to see a post on this! This is my first pregnancy, and I really want a natural, at home birth with a midwife... it seems I'm really in the minority! so it will be great to talk with others who want the same thing. I'm 31, and in Arizona.
