Having problems with message search?
My name is Dawn. I'm relatively new to the Buffalo area (~1.5 years?) and feel like I'm *still* trying to get settled in. We're from Rochester, originally. My friend Krista is the ICAN Chapter leader out there and pointed out this one to me.
I'm married (6 years in June!) and have two daughters. Annika is almost 3, and was born at Strong Hospital in Rochester. Celyn is 4 months, and was born here, at home with a midwife. I have not had a cesarean, but I feel very strongly about cesarean prevention, evidence based medicine, and natural birth. My first pregnancy and birth were fraught with unnecessary and dangerous interventions, and that got me started questioning the standard obstectric care model.
I'd write more, but it seems like if I do, I'll never end up finishing! As it is, I've had this in "drafts" for a week. :) I plan to come to some ICAN meeting, but unfortunately this month and next it coincided/coincides with something I already have scheduled.
Glad to be here!
Dawn

Hello!
Thank you for signing on to ICAN of Buffalo, the yahoogroup! for the
Buffalo chapter of the International Cesarean Awareness Network.
Our group and our chapter are still new and growing, so hopefully you
will see many wonderful changes in the upcoming months.
I hope, if you have a moment, you will take some time and post a
little information about yourself (what your experiences have been,
what brought you here, etc.)
If you are interested, I would like to personally invite you to
attend our monthly meetings. There's nothing quite like being face
to face with like-minded individuals to share your stories and
thoughts. Our meetings take place at 3113 Delaware Avenue, HomeGrown
Baby in Kenmore. The next meeting will be Thursday, June 1st at
6pm.
Also, look for us at the WNY Pregnancy Expo, Sunday June 4th at the
Main-Transit Fire Hall in Williamsville from 11-5pm.
One more thing - I am available any time if you want to chat, so
please feel free to contact me directly via email at
icanofbuffalo@... or by phone at 208-6967.
Welcome, and I look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Rachel Zeller
Chapter Leader, ICAN of Buffalo
