I have to say that the book wasn't this for me at all, Michelle. In fact, I enjoyed it enough to purchase a copy for myself to be part of my personal lending...
Hi all, In response to Cathleen. I just went back to the CDC website just now. You are indeed right, data for 2005 puts the c-section rate at an appalling...
Hi ladies, The authors of our book would like to have a conference call with us on Monday December 18th at 9 p.m. eastern standard time. Anyone who would like...
I had the opposite feeling. For doulas, midwives and other members of the "birth community" I don't think this book is very radical, but for mainstream women...
Greetings, readers. I've been asked to give you a quick introduction of myself. I'm the mother of 3 grown children, and prior to my recent move to Ann Arbor,...
Hello Ladies! I was the producer of BOLD in Hartford this past Labor Day weekend, and I am working on compiling a website relating to birth in the Greater...
There's been lots of discussion on the ACOG statement on the various lists that I participate on, but I hadn't realized it was in response to the change in the...
Hi - I'm Tammi McKinley, a homebirth midwife in Virginia. So glad to join you! As to responses to ACOG, MANA, AABC, ACNM, White Ribbon Alliance and others have...
Hi, I wanted to write the group because of an experience this weekend that confirmed to me why this Lamaze book - Giving Birth with Confidence - is important....
Hi Karen, Please take a few minutes to write a review of the book and explain how it dispels the myths to which you are referring. I will put it in the book ...
Hi everyone, Happy New Year! As some of you may know, our BOLD Book Club coordinator, Rebecca, is a student midwife. Starting this January she is working at a...
I am so excited to read this book. And thanks Jillian for explaining my situation. I hope everyone is doing well and happy new year! Rebecca ... Broken ... a ...
Any idea if the book has been translated, especially for our unknowing immigrants who come here thinking America hospital services are offering the best care...
I don't know, Tammi. I suspect it hasn't been translated yet, but Jillian at BOLD will check with Marsden Wagner and get back to you. Hi to everyone - hope...
Is this "the" Jillian? The one I have come to know and love at each production - and saw at the CIMS show in Arlington? Yes, I'd love to know - those reading...
Yes! It's "the" Jillian! We are going to make a formal announcement soon that "the" Jillian has decided to get quite involved with BOLD. She's WONDERFUL...as...
Hello everyone! As I type this I can't believe that time has flown by the way that it has and tomorrow is February 1st already! We will begin our discussion...
Hi Tammi, I did check with Marsden Wagner, and the book has not been translated as of yet. You brought up a good point though. What about immigrants who come...
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...
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...
That's a very interesting point about docs talking about the midwifery profession. K ... That's a very interesting point about docs talking about the midwifery...
Below is the letter BOLD is sending out encouraging our supporters to call their local public radio stations so "Birth" will be aired in their area. Karen Dear...
I thought I'd also forward BOLD's 2007 announcement encouraging communities to do an event for BOLD 2007. Some of you may be doing BOLD, but others may want to...
Karen, Is it ok to post your message to other lists (I'm specifically thinking ICAN support group, Mothering.com, and a local doula/CBE/midwife group here in...
