About Me

We are a newly organizing group with the purpose of gathering together and talking about childbirth in order to learn from each other's wisdom and strengthen ourselves. This group is for anyone interested in the truth about birth, whether you've given birth yourself, plan to someday, or plan to support a loved one through it. There are many misperceptions regarding birth in our society, and we aim to help dispel those as much as we can.

My Interests

birth, pregancy, babies, birth trauma, cesarean section, obstetrics, midwifery, doulas, birth circles, empowered birth, gentle birth
