Uplifting Families
Christy is the main writer and contributor for Uplifitng Families. The goal of Uplifting Families is to provide moms, dads, and soon-to-be-parents with information about pregnancy, breastfeeding, parenting, reviews, and anything family related. The goal of Uplifting Families is focused on helping families based on real life experiences.

Christy breastfed each one of her children for over a year. She wanted to help other mom's learn the benefits of breastfeeding. She was a stay at home mom with her older two children and had to returned to work after her third baby was born. Christy was able to use a breast pump to provide her youngest breastmilk during the day so that they could continue their breastfeeding relationship. She successfully used a breast pump for 14 months and wanted to help other moms.

After three different types of pregnancy, Christy understands the different types of possible labor scenarios: epidural births, natural/unmediated births, and c-sections. During her first pregnancy, her water broke and she had to have an epidural for pain relief. Her second pregnancy was totally different and had to be induced at 41 weeks due to medical complications. And her final pregnancy resulted in a c-section, due to her baby being breech and it was too risky to attempt to manually turn the baby.

As a parent, we are all faced with our own parenting difficulties. Christy wouldn't win an award for the mother of the year but she enjoys sharing information that has been successful for her family.
