WELCOME!!
Hello ladies! First I want to thank you for visiting The Belly Button Connection (TBBC). TBBC was originally created as a forum for mothers: aspiring, expecting, and veteran. The name was derived from the baby’s connection to the mother: physically, mentally, and emotionally. I wanted TBBC to be a place where women received both accurate and positive feedback about pregnancy. Since creating TBBC I’ve learned that our thoughts about pregnancy, motherhood, and womanhood start long before the onset of puberty. In fact, it starts with our relationships with our own mothers, aunts, sisters, and peers. Our hardships are not our own. They are passed down from generation to generation, friend to friend, spouse to spouse, parent to child. This doesn’t have to be the case. Leo Buscaglia said it best when he said, “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
TBBC is that touch, smile, kind word, listening ear, honest compliment, and smallest act of caring. My mission is to keep you abreast on events, programs, and seminars that will be beneficial to you as well as partner with organizations that will improve your confidence, increase your self-esteem, and help you become the woman you strive to be for yourself, your family, and generations to follow.
Today I came across something today and I found it very fascinating. I'm sure you will, too. It is pictures of a woman's cervix during a complete cycle. I believe seeing a cervix up-close is beneficial to any woman. We hear about all these various body parts and organs, but it's rare that we actually get to see a real one. In case you didn't know, the cervix is the organ that dialates to 10cm when you are complete and ready to birth your baby. When you aren't pregnant, the cervix is hard like the tip of your nose. As you progress, the cervix becomes soft like your lips. Take a moment to go to
Beautiful Cervix where you can view a REAL cervix. Have fun!

Have you heard about the labor simulator that is now being used in childbirth classes? My childbirth educator, liz chalmers, has a sweepstakes for them. www.birthzone.com

I went to the website to learn more about Liz and the Birth Zone. I entered the sweepstakes and WON! Isn't that something?! She's mailing it this week so I'll tell you what I think once it arrives. Thanks for the info!
