OK, I am simply delirious with joy. Check this out!!!! Giving birth, the natural way Every birth is a miracle, of course. But the arrival of Lily Luck-Henderson, just after midnight last Tuesday morning at the General campus of the Ottawa Hospital, was something else as well. Lily was breech, as are about four per [...]

Washington Post on Breech
I am so stoked to see a piece of reporting in a major news venue that gets it so very, very right, and also features a friend of mine, the inestimable Christie Craigie-Carter!
