Home Made; Inside Baltimore’s Home-Birth Underground by Michelle Gienow Really good. Long, in depth, presenting homebirth in a positive light. I especially like this part, in which a Dr. attempts to explain his ‘practice’:
Well, yes, says Khouzami. “If you are here long enough, we are going to do something to you. It’s a matter of time. I will be the first one to admit that,” he says. “The trade-off is that I am going to make sure that nothing happens to you or to the baby.
wow! and hmmmm? how ’bout someone look into Dr. Khouzami’s practice percentages…c-sections? How much infant or maternal mortality? how many dire outcomes? How many hysterectomies after cesareans? I’d like to know.
If you have a few hours ;o) to while away this happy unassisted homebirth week, you could spend them perusing the comments below the article where a lively debate between some homebirth advocates and a certain “dr” who appears whenever the word ‘homebirth’ is uttered are head to head. At the bottom there’s even a comment by a certain *ahem* cowgoddess.
I hope you have an awesome 4th of July, don’t forget to read the Declaration of Independence!
Love,
Heather

I think ;o) at least my calendar says so. (the one I made, so it must be true!) Alas, I find no mention of it on-line and can’t remember where I heard it. If you can find something corroborating will you please let me know? In the meantime, I’m still recovering from my daughter’s 4th birthday and the capes and hooded towels and mermaid tails and waldorf-y crowns that I made in a fit of ‘o my goodness, my baby is a kid’ creative angst. I’ll post photos soon. Oh how time marches on…
It just dawned on me that the corporate-friendly hospital comics are perfect for unassisted homebirth week! cool!
xox,
