I want to have a homebirth next time (I'm not pregnant, but I'm thinking about it)! I also want to learn from women who value the birthing process, breastfeeding, and natural approaches to parenting.
I had a c-section with my first baby (she was breech and I was at BRGen); I wish I'd stayed at home in my bathtub. I'm also working on a dissertation about how the representation of birth in our culture influences routine maternity care.

"This post should give you a primer on who to get mad at :) The bottom line is that after studies confirming the safety of home birth came out last year (two of them!)..."
"Me too---I tried to start working out again at several points while bfing, and had supply issues. I was also working, so I wonder if your body just has a limit to how much outside stress it can handle."
"Apparently, they dropped the bill! http://www.ourbodieso..."
"Deal, Amy! Fun, I never get to see you :) If I have coffee (enough), I can be sociable, I think. I'm so excited about hearing RDF --- her work is so important to my dissertation, it will be nice to meet her in person!"
