RE: Desperate for guidance and change |

Thank you so much for your words of wisdom, Henci. I've actually been taking baby steps at starting a birth network. The educator at the hospital has facilitated a first "meet and greet" meeting for January 31st. I've been anticipating the backlash, and I've kind of realized that that is why so many are hesitant to do anything but remain politically correct in the birthing world. I think that our area (I'm on the eastern shore of Maryland, by the way) needs something a little more drastic than politically correct, though. We are so far behind when compared to care offered in more rural areas, and playing politically correct has gotten us nowhere so far.
That said, what are your thoughts on the potential for leading women into disappointment when you do help them realize there are better options that they cannot have? And if I do teach my own classes privately, do you think there may be a way to spin the controversial backlash in a positive way as to perhaps be a type of advertisement? |
