I saw this AD in the advocate on Sun....

Exploring your birthing options

Please join Bethanie Genre, Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) as she explains the options that are available to patients including a more natural approach to a baby's birth. Midwives are autonomous practitioners who are specialists in a low-risk pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum stage. They generally strive to help women have a healthy pregnancy and natural birth experience. In addition, CNMs also practice well-woman gynecology.

Dr. Dauterive will discuss how obstetricians collaborate with midwives ** when pregnancies are complicated.

WHEN: Thurs. Feb. 18 noon
WHERE: Mansur's on the Boulevard 5720 Corporate Blvd, BR
COST: $15 (includes lunch) *
TO REGISTER: 1-866-OCHSNER 8-5 M-F

*This is my asterisk because on the website it lists $10 as the cost, but either way, if you havent been to Mansur's $10 or 15 is a good price!

**Also my asterisk, I like the use of the broad term midwives here, instead of just one type ;) and the fact that they are collaborating with any of them!

I would like to make this....anyone else going? I have a meeting that I need to move first. I think it will play online, but I would like to be there.

Sounds great. I think I will definitely try to make it.

not sure if you need to register ahead of time or not.

from what I understood you do need to register ahead of time.

that is what is seems like from the link. I wonder when it will air online?

I just tried to register for it, it was cancelled due to lack of response. :(

Why do you think there was a lack of response?

Yeah I tried to register too and they said it was most likely going to cancel. I know they ran an ad in the paper, that is how we found out through Jackie, I wish I would have known sooner, I am sure more of our members would have attended if given more notice.

I was going to register....until I saw they cancelled due to poor response. Sounds like maybe they pulled the event a little before the due date (haha--really just a joke).
