September Meeting

Hi, all!

Our September meeting will be held in Nicole's home September 2nd at 6:30 PM. Our topic is "Overview of Childbirth Education Options". Feel free to bring your families and friends!

We have two other important announcements. First, our meeting time and place will change come November. Instead of meeting in my home, we will be meeting in the Prescott public library. We will be moving from Thursdays a 6:30 to the first Tuesday of the month at 6:30 PM as well.

Our last announcement for this month is the birth of my son, Imriel Leander, August 8th. Welcome and I hope he will get to meet some of you at our next meeting!

Blessings!

New meeting, new topic

Hello, everyone!

Our next meeting will be held August 5th at 6:30 PM at my home in Prescott Valley. Our topic will be "Choices in birth places".

We also have a new leader with us, Laura Nyman, who is wonderful and very knowledgeable!

Lastly, August 5th, our meeting date, is also my due date! So everyone stay tuned to see if we will have a brand new baby with us or not :)

Thanks for checking back!

An interesting article on the effects of scar tissue and labor

www.douladawn.com/cervical-scar-tissue-%E2%80%93-a-big-issue-that-no-one-is-talking-about-by-doula-dawn.htm

It makes one wonder how many "failure to progress" cesareans could be prevented by a simple cervical massage.

First meeting accomplished!

Hello, all!

Our first meeting didn't totally flop, but it didn't exactly soar either. That's okay, we're gonna hit it hard this month and get some more of you in to the next meeting!

Our next meeting will be held July 1st at 6:30, as usual. The address is 7040 E. Burro Ln. Apt #1, Prescott Valley, AZ. The topic will be Writing Your Birth Plan! Bring a friend, your kids, your partners, anyone who wants to come!

Hope to see some of you there!

Getting ready for our first meeting, June 3rd, 2010!

In this meeting we will be discussing birthing women's rights as consumers. Sometimes we forget that we hire our care providers and they are not the boss of us!

Please bring yourselves, you children, your partners and anything you want to share with the group!

I look forward to seeing you there!
