Diane OTTERBEIN's Obituary on The Star Phoenix
The birth community in Saskatoon lost a wonderful woman last week. Diane was a beautiful, caring person who dedicated so much to birthing women and their babies. My thoughts are with her family during this very sad time.

Do Doulas Trust Women? Home Births – Hospital Births
http://www.birthtakesavillage.com/do-doulas-trust-women-2/
birthtakesavillage.com Doulas and childbirth educators often talk about having a trust in women. In prenatal classes and doula visits, we encourage women to trust their intuition, trust they and their bodies know how to birth their children, trust they will intuitively do the “right” things during labour and birth. But do...
The Big Bad Epidural
http://birthwithoutfearblog.com/2012/01/26/the-big-bad-epidural/
birthwithoutfearblog.com The Natural Birth Community is quick to say, “Don’t do it! You can do it without it! An Epidural is dangerous! It is evil and causes problems!” Mostly, this is true. You CAN do it naturally and Epidurals do come with risks to mom and baby.

Thoughtful Thursday! “…I’ve Seen Many Medication-Free Births.” - My OB said WHAT?!?
I love "Thoughtful Thursdays" on My OB Said What?!? I wish all nurses had the experience of this one (doctors would benefit from it too). It would make it so much easier on moms wanting a natural birth to have nurses be supportive, and not laugh or roll their eyes at the request. http://myobsaidwhat.com/2012/02/23/thoughtful-thursday-ive-seen-many-medication-free-births/

Thoughts on epidurals, risk, and decision making
"In this case and in so many others around the nation every day, the physiologically normal and fully appropriate need for freedom of movement during labor ran smack into the hospital’s expectation of stillness. And, medication was a consequence of that stillness, not an inability to cope with normal labor–it was an inability to cope with enforced passivity that was directly counter to the natural urges of her birthing body."

Got a nice testimonial from a client today (which will go up on my site soon)
"The birth of our first child was the most significant moment in both of our lives! We really want to thank Nicole for being apart of it and for all of her support and care. During the delivery, her presence and experience were an invaluable comfort to both of us, personally I really don't know how I would have managed without her!! We recommend her to anyone looking for a doula and hope to have her be our doula again in the future!" -Y

The Epidemic of Induction | Natural Childbirth Education
http://naturalchildbirthedu.com/2010/09/19/the-epidemic-of-induction/
When did medicine decide that a woman not showing any signs of labor BEFORE actually going into LABOR was a concern? Doesn’t that just seem like poor common sense?
naturalchildbirthedu.com I’m a huge believer in birth being natural. This is not simply because I just think it’s a good idea. I used to have NO idea. My passion for natural birth was actually pioneered by hearing all the births that my friends and their friends were experiencing and picking up on too many similar bad patte...
