I was wondering what your policy is on donations and book reviews. I coordinate a parenting group that focus's on positive birth and natural/gentle parenting, we have over 150 members. I would dearly love to review your book for our newsletter but as HHNBS is a not for profit community organisation we do not have the funds to purchase it to do this, and unfortunately there is not a copy at the local library. If you could please consider donating a copy of your informative book for this purpose it would be much appreciated. Kind Regards Chrissy Grainger HHNBS Coordinator Hi Teresa,

The people who seem least willing to support longer maternity leave that I've met are all men either without children or with wives who do not work outside the home. In other words, they have no firsthand experience with newborns and mothers. I wonder how many members of Congress have children and working spouses?

I am in such a better place after many months of sharing and working through my experience with other mothers who know exactly where I'm coming from. And going over my birth record with the midwives was SUCH a healing experience for me. Hopefully, this kind of support can help to make VBAC an option for more mothers--so many are barred from the experience based on defensive medicine and insurance bureaucracy. Great post!
