Birth Matters

Before I became a mother, I had no idea that birth in this country was an issue. Afterwards, it was a different story. I now do birth advocacy through ICAN, the International Cesarean Awareness Network, as their Publications Director. Birth is as insane and mismanaged as it could possibly be. Want to know why I think so? Rowan's birth story (the sugar-coated version that I told while still in shock is linked through the real version that finally came out later) is here, and Kestrel's is here. Read them, learn from them, let me know what you think.
