RE: how do i help? |

Hi,
For me this has been becoming a doula (actually not certified yet) and advertising in my neighbourhood. One step at a time. One woman at a time. I refer people to all the places I know that speak of natural birth. I suggest books to read etc. My goal is to foster the birth of a natural birthing community within our community. It takes a village to raise a child, it takes a community of women to embrace natural birth and support the pregnant and laboring woman. I live in a community where there are many natural birth advocates, but otherwise grouping together and meeting and spreading the word would be a good thing. If I were a speaker, I would organize childbirth classes to educate women about their choices, etc.
Thos women who want to hear will hear. I can't change those who don't :-(
I am sorry you struggled so much with putting
aside' the grief and anxiety every pregnant mother feels with the heavy
burden of responsibility of bringing a new life into the world.' as you wrote. Was this related to the c-section? I do not relate to this with normal birth unless you suffer from ppd.
maria.
