Ok, I'm really excited about this!
ICAN (International) has just created online forums!!!
In the past, ICAN women have participated in a yahoogroup listserve much like this, except essentially it became overgrown and cumbersome (there were over 1,000 members). Any of you who ever joined that group may have felt a little inundated because of the volume - it was a great place to get information and support, but in the last few years (I felt, anyway) it was hard to wade through it all.
The yahoogroup still exists, and it seems a little smaller now, so if you prefer that format, it is still available. However, I would strongly encourage everyone to check out the new forums. The website is: http://ican-online.org/forum/index.php
The forums include:
Cesarean Prevention
Recovery
VBAC
Advocacy and the Law
Birth Research
Introductions
Birth Stories
Off Topic
Cesarean Moms Only
VBAC Moms Only
All who wish to join the forums need to sign up in order to keep it as "safe" as possible.
These women offer a wealth of information and support. I credit them as the ones who were able to drag me out of the dredges of the dark side and truly help enlighten me.
Hope to see you there!
