Empowered Mommies

It’s a fabulous website for moms, so please check it out!  I know you will love this site as I have.  It was founded by Ivanna Campbell, a mother of three, who discovered the power of online mom communities and started her own site.  Here’s what it’s all about:
Empowered Mommies.com is an advocacy group and online community for moms who are trying to conceive, are expecting, or have infants, who are interested in having up-to-date information about preconception, pregnancy, labor/delivery, newborn care and other various topics of interest like breastfeeding, immunizations, maintaining a healthy lifestyle post baby, stem cell research, cord blood banking, activism and community outreach through organizations that promote healthy moms and babies.
Our intent is not to preach about a certain way of giving birth, feeding or caring for your baby, but rather our goal is to empower you through the exchange of stories, experiences and knowledge so that you can understand all your options and make informed choices based on what is best for you and your baby rather than feeling influenced or forced into a choice because of fear or misinformation.
*How do we balance risk and common sense during pregnancy, childbirth and early baby care avoiding the unnecessary perception of danger and high risk complications at every turn?
* When did women begin doubting their natural instincts when it comes to making decisions regarding their birth experience and baby care?
* How do we become educated on our options so we can make informed decisions that are best for our individual situation and our baby?
* How do we successfully transition from childless, young women to strong and informed mothers?
OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Knowledge: Seek out accurate and current information to understand our options and guide our decision making.
Instinct: Trust our maternal and womanly instincts and be confident in ourselves.
Partnership: Work in conjunction with our medical providers and other experts in an equal and mutually respectful partnership
