Hi Everyone!

So, January is GONE! I can hardly believe it. Well, I'll go ahead
and be the first to jump in there and say..........I haven't finished
the book yet! But, I am ON IT! Anyone else have this problem?

If you're done, inspire us slow-goers with your thoughts! Or, please,
don't leave me out there alone if you're not done either!

Warmly,

Jillian

I'm a homebirth midwife, and I have loved what comes from Marsden's mouth, for so long :-) I am still struck by what goes on in the OB community: (p.6) "An...

This also REALLY hit me when I read it. Of course it makes no sense for an OB/GYN to be all these things to women. I think Marsden makes an EXCELLENT point. I...

What's it going to take? It's going to take something huge, as Marsden cites, in cases where midwives have risen. Guess the 31% cesarean rate isn't high...

I'm about 3/4 of the way done. I think this book should be bundled with Tina Cassidy's "Birth: The Surprising History of How We Are Born" and should become...

Hi all :-) I don't know if you've seen Cassidy quoted, and even if it was taken out of context, you will not hear her words come from my mouth - if a mom wants...

Well...I think Tina Cassidy's book is a strong contribution to birth, but I definitely see Tammi's point. I almost put the book down after the chapter where...

Tammi, I hadn't read that article until you posted it. I don't know if the quote was taken out of context, but it does sound uncharacteristic of the articles...

Hi, I'm new to the group. I'm a student midwife in Northern VA. I've only read the first two chapters so far, but I'm convinced that this is a book every...
