Are you coming to the Life is Good conference? I'm going to be leading a discussion about birth issues, it would be awesome to have you there. Well said.

Your description of what happened to our husbands breaks my heart into a million little pieces. Because it is exactly what happened, and it NEVER should have. I, too, was one of those women. I thought I had an idea of what I was getting myself into I thought I knew the score. Oh, how wrong I was. NOW I know the score. NOW I know better. But now it's too late. And nobody seems to want to hear the message until they are part of the choir, singing at the top of her lungs right next to you and I. And even then...sometimes they don't. Because their OB "saved" their life or their baby's life. How do we get through to the "old" us-es? I believe it is the biggest issue we have to overcome at this point. Because once women truly get it, they can change the world one canceled OB appointment, one scheduled induction, one repeat cesarean at a time. You are absolutely right–there isn’t enough time.
