CPD is a situation where the baby’s head is too big to pass through the pelvic canal or pelvic contractions are not great enough to push the baby through.  CPD is a diagnosis that must be thought over very carefully as a reason to have a c-section because 2/3 of mothers who are diagnosed with CPD later go on to deliver children vaginally that are larger than the baby involved in the CPD diagnosis. “Abnormal Progress” is yet to be clearly defined, but suffice to say that more and more women are being rushed to receive pitocin, rushed to...

The Best Weight Loss Coach If you are struggling to lose weight, have a personal trainer and still can’t keep your head in the game, how do you choose the best weight loss coach?  First, you have to know what a weight loss coach does. Weight loss coaches help keep your head in the game.  Loss of motivation, inspiration or simply not knowing what to do next are the most common reasons for failing or only achieving minimal success.  The best weight loss coach will hold you accountable, set guidelines that you both agree to and hold you to action.  The gap between knowing and doing is motivation and inspiration.  A qualified, experienced weight loss coach will provide you with the tools to add healthy years to your life and will save you tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of your lifetime.
