Dummy Training!
>> Tuesday, May 18, 2010
I came across this video and was wondering if anyone else finds it a little terrifying.
I am not sure I understand the need for the artificial training. Is it really necessary to build a dummy that gives birth to another dummy? How detached can we possibly become from human experience?
Women across the country, across the world, are giving birth every day in teaching hospitals. I feel that the students gained nothing from this unrealistic example of childbirth experience.
In my opinion, “Noelle the dummy” definitely needed a doula!!
Birth Stories
>> Thursday, May 13, 2010
It has been so inspiring recently to see so many people sharing their birth stories across the blogging community. Gabrielle Blair, of DesignMom.com, to celebrate the pregnancy and birth of her sixth child has requested for mothers (and fathers) to share their stories. Every Wednesday there are different and wonderful stories of pregnancy, birth and adoption. All the stories are beautiful, honest and raw. I look forward every week to read and share in these memories. I have noticed a few other bloggers following suit. There is a wonderful feeling of celebration and pride that is starting to exude through the topic of pregnancy and childbirth. Spring is in the air!
Here a few links to the stories I have enjoyed:
