Pushed Birth Blog

My friend Walker told me about this website a while ago and I'm not sure why I haven't posted it yet - it must have fallen off my to-do list. This is a great website -- strong (in a good way) on how it talks with women about obstetric care and birthing in the United States.

Pushed Birth

It's the sister site to the book Pushed: The Painful Truth About Childbirth and Modern Maternity Care (Da Capo, 2007).

Check out their blog and their links. Good reading there. I haven't seen their blog updated recently (the last I see is March 2010) but in hopes they continue writing, I'm going to add them to our blogroll.

Has anyone read the book? Care to do a book review? Contact me!

Volunteer spotlight on RadicalDoula.com

I emailed Miriam Perez over at RadicalDoula.com a few days ago to tell her about the Open Arms doula model and she wrote about us on her blog - check it out here. I'm adding their blog to our blogroll - it's definitely worth a read!

We'll see if their readers come up with any other doula programs like ours. Stay tuned!
