Recommended Reading:
The Thinking Woman's
Guide to a Better Birth
by Henci Goer
We've all heard the saying
"Knowledge is Power" and
it's never more true than
when you're pregnant.


I highly recommend watching
Rikki Lake's movie:

'The Business of Being Born'
thebusinessofbeingborn.com

In recommending this
movie, I'm not suggesting
home birth is for everyone -
it's not. What I hope you
take away from the movie is
that it's YOUR birth and you
have choices.


In the news:
Jennifer Block, author of
Pushed, has a very
informative blog about
current issues regarding
birth.
