Births,Babies and Beyond NJ

Births,Babies and Beyond NJ Births, Babies and Beyond is a practice dedicated to educating and assisting new parents-to-be with their most important life transition

About Us
Births, Babies and Beyond was started as an idea after many shifts of seeing first time moms-to be, and dads-to be, struggle to cope in the labor room. As a labor room nurse, in a very high volume maternity hospital, married to a psychologist, I would often think of women whom I just interacted with and became very concerned about their preparedness for heading home with a newborn. If these women were struggling in the labor room, how were they going to cope at 3am with a newborn who has been screaming for hours? If the behavior they displayed while in the labor room was any indication, I was very concerned. After speaking with peers and researching current statistics my concerns were heightened. I realized that women, especially first time moms, really needed a place that could provide a range of services for them, both prior to delivery and throughout their journey as parents. And so the concept of Birth, Babies and Beyond was developed. Teamed with Abrams Psychological Services, we are able to provide any and every service a family could need.

There is no right way to give birth. Being educated on your birth is a high priority.

When parents recall their births, I often hear information that makes me question how well they understood the process. It’s not to invalidate what they experienced. More to learn how I can educate parents-to-be more effectively.

Anyone can recite information from a book, but having an educator who thoroughly understands the process from years of bedside experience matters.

Childbirth education classes (as well as baby care and breastfeeding) are open for registration at www.newmomschool.com/shrewsbury-nj/

**classes can be taken individually or as a bundle**

Research supports our S.E.L.F. model: Rest, (Sleep), movement (Exercise), nourishment (Food), and restorative pleasure (Laughter/leisure) all play a critical role in postpartum brain health and emotional well-being.

💜Better sleep is tied to lower postpartum depression/anxiety

💜Postpartum exercise is linked with fewer depressive and anxiety symptoms.

💜Adherence to a brain-healthy eating pattern is associated with lower odds of postpartum depressive symptoms

Who you hire for your prenatal education and postpartum support matters. I still work bedside in Labor and Delivery and Lactation. I have worked in a level IV, high volume hospital down to a Birth Center.

I can comfortably say I’ve had the privilege to be a part of thousands of deliveries and support hundreds of postpartum families .

The birth world is filled with many certifications. The experience of who you trust with your education and postpartum support matters.

Great example of how positioning matters in labor. Bringing knees in and ankles out, opens the outlet of the pelvis allowing the baby to descend easier.

How often did you change positions during the pushing phase of your birth?

Social media makes you believe you need a lot of “stuff” to take care of your newborn. Your newborn needs YOU. They need your warmth with skin to skin. They need to feel safe and secure. They need you to respond to their cues.

Taking prenatal education classes is vital to understanding your baby. Learning what is normal vs concerning, understanding that crying is communicating a need and that hunger has a separate language is huge. Realizing that movement and white noise is comforting.

Registration for all our prenatal classes is open now!
