Hello and Welcome!
My name is Gabriella Nadine Cook and I am the founder of M.A.M. (Mothers Against Misinformation) I am a proud mother and wife who has a passion for childbirth and early childhood education. I have an eleven month old daughter, Elizabeth, I am an advocate of natural childbirth and am here to inform you and to help you make educated and accurate decisions regarding your pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting.
I completely respect a woman's decision to chose whether or not to have a hospital birth, home birth, or birth center birth. I understand the importance of all three, and I understand why someone would chose either one. I know most of the pros and cons of each one, as well as the states that allow freestanding birth centers and midwifery.
I started this blog to help educate mother's about the misinformation that is all over, such as the "dangers" co-sleeping, natural childbirth, home birth, free-standing birth centers, hospital birth, vaccinations and to answer any questions regarding pregnancy, birth, and parenting.
As a doula in training, aspiring midwife, and childbirth educator, I frequently get asked questions like, "Is co sleeping with my baby safe?" and "What are the differences between a homebirth and a hospital birth?" and "Why breastfeed?" I have heard people say things like, you are crazy to not be in a hospital to give birth to a child. My purpose with this blog is to filter out the misinformation about these topics and more, and to hopefully give a clearer idea about what is fact and what is not.
Welcome to my blog, M.A.M. I hope that I can be of assistance to all of you looking for information regarding childbirth and early childhood education, and, I hope that I can help you answer any questions you may have.

Hi Gabriella! I see that you've found my blog. Welcome and thanks for your support. After reading your introduction, I see that you and I have very similar interest. I, too, am in the process of becoming a certified doula and childbirth educator. I wish I had figured that out at an early age like you. But, 25 isn't too far over the hill, right? I'm very excited about your efforts and I wish M.A.M the best. I went to school in Atlanta (Oglethorpe University) and I plan to visit friends from time to time. I'll let you know when I'll be in town. I send my best to you and your daughter. Take care.
