The Meetup scheduled for Saturday (1/31/08) at Trebor Sutler's house is CONFIRMED! (Please note - this is actually the FIFTH Saturday, not the usual fourth Saturday.) This featured location is the site of a most recent, inspiring, and beautiful home waterbirth VBAC - we will get to hear the story and see the slideshow... bring your friends, especially ones who would like to be inspired to break away from the outdated once-a-cesarean-always-a-cesarean mentality that is so prevalent around here. (WV again ranks poorly - #5 in the nation for highest cesarean rates.)

As usual we will have a chance to hear amazing birth stories, make new friends, connect with each other, and support our common passion for birth. Women need to spend time together, think and talk together, give and receive support together. Sometimes we don't even know which thing we need!

I am also noting that there is new home birth interest stirring in Huntington... stay tuned. These Meetups are also an excellent opportunity to meet other home birth midwives in the area.

Can't wait to see you all again. While I love the "reunion" feel of our get-togethers, I am also pleased to see the group maturing into a strong and cohesive source for information about BIRTH - wonderfully biased in favor of women/families and their strength!
