I am a birth advocate. What does that mean to me? It means that not only am I pro-life, I am pro-birthing experience. I believe that women have the right to birth in the way they desire. I also believe that many women do not know that there are choices in childbirth and for that very reason, end up with a birth experience that they did not expect. A midwife recently sent me to this documentary and I am so glad she did. I want to share this with you and hope that this makes you more of a birth advocate. Watch the video (available instantly on Netflix). This trailer will give you a glimpse. -Also, watch The Business of Being Born. These two go hand in hand.
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." (NIV)
What is a Doula?
What is a Doula? A doula provides informational, physical and emotional support to pregnant women and their families/partners before and throughout the birthing process. A doula typically meets with expectant families a few times prior to the birth, offering information and assessing their individual needs and desires to have the birth experience that they choose.
Thanks for all your support in the annual Longview Go 4th Parade.
