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...
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...
Anybody just love - NOT! this. I was appalled by the chart - "The Reciprocal Natural Childbirth Index," on p. 19. How horrible. If you have something good...
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...
One last Tina Cassidy comment! Before I read her book I read a piece she wrote in the NY Times called "Birth, Controlled" and LOVED it. She really hit the nail...
I am blown away by this book. Reading it, I think, "How can this be happening here in our country?" but I know it is true because I experience it with the...
How about the ACOG Opinion (1998): Liability Implications of Recording Procedures or Treatments. "Recording solely for the purpose of patient memorabilia or...
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...
Hospitals aren't still enforcing that, are they? At least not in the Bahamas...(Anna Nicole Smith...) Liz Matthews AAMI #1831 mom to Emma (3/17/90~homebirth),...
