Birth Matters: May 2008
http://yourbirthmatters.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 28, 2008. I love positive updates. Anyway, those of you who might read my blog/thoughts will remember that I was pretty scathing in my denunciation of a certain “Mr. Smith” who seemed to discount any likelihood that ICAN could bring something of value to a meeting devoted to controversies in maternity care. An admirable trait of Mr. Smith’s is that he isn’t afraid of controversy and he isn’t afraid to open up dialog that could be heated. So thank you Mr. Smith. Links to this post. For a wh...

Tuesday, March 17, 2009. What do I do now? Written to a woman who transported from a homebirth and had a cesarean). Seems to be a strong theme in my life right now. Or rather, my ultimate lack of it. I may get a bit spiritual here, so reader beware. One thing that I can guarantee is that your next pregnancy and labor will be different from your last one. Every pregnancy, every baby, every labor is unique to itself. What more can they do? I don’t know. Fixthere are other reasons to have a cesarean and we ...

Birth Matters: What did I do wrong?
http://yourbirthmatters.blogspot.com/2009/03/what-did-i-do-wrong.html
Sunday, March 15, 2009. What did I do wrong? And both have asked, many times “What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong? And I have to say that the "answer" I have is two-fold.first, the baby is an independent player in the whole labor and we can't always predict or dictate what the baby will do. Second, there is a very real element of "luck". Just plain bad luck. It is SO much easier if we find something that looks like a cause. I don't know why. When the labor is done and you are in that soul searching ...

Birth Matters: November 2007
http://yourbirthmatters.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 29, 2007. I'll preface this post with the statement that while OF COURSE. Allegation of child neglect or abuse must be investigated, it is obviously too much to ask that such investigations be done with even an iota of common sense, much less responsibility to the legal rights of the children involved, not to mention anyone else. Person) but she's sure as heck not stupid or lazy or criminal.she's just a mom struggling to keep a roof over her kids' heads and food on the table. I think i...

Birth Matters: April 2008
http://yourbirthmatters.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 17, 2008. Won't play nice anymore, part 2. Play, if any of the things we all agree are problems are to be solved. What makes us believe we speak for the majority of women? What makes us think our experiences are representative of most women’s experience? I don’t know….but as the cesarean rate climbs higher and higher, it’s getting to be more and more women’s experience….do we have to wait until it’s a big majority before we say anything? What number of women can we say we speak for? If we...
