There are so many good ones... the ones I look to the most often are: Ina May's 'Guide to Childbirth', Jennifer Block's 'Pushed: The Painful Truth about Childbirth and Modern Maternity Care', and Susan McChutcheon's 'Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way'. Those are my favorites when I work with mama's who want to take a…

I agree. And no one car argue that their offspring is not fucking adorbs. I mean, seriously. That kid is freaking adorable! CHEEKS!

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS. Who MADE this is the most important... WHO?!

AGREED. On all accounts. As a vain bottle brunette I also was so glad to hear this. BTW: have you seen "The Business of Being Born"?

SUCH A GOOD BOOK. As a doula, I recommend this one ALL the time (as well as a few others). It's really well written and accessible. Great recommendation!

"probably working from a different definition of "racism" than you" - ding, ding, ding.

I don't know what the hell this is but I like it! Well played.

What's "sad" is your misunderstanding of racism. What's also "sad" is how "sad" everything makes you. Must be "sad" to feel so "sad" about things that are beyond your cognitive capabilities.

I think you get a gold star for not punching this person in the mouth. I am not sure I'd have enough restraint not to.

I appreciate the follow up on this Jez. I thought maybe she'd make another statement, and I am glad that she's trying to dig deeper, take responsibility and grow from it. I too felt her first letter really missed the mark. I am an admitted eternal optimist (and yes I realize this isn't always productive), and I do…

LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLL...

And I thought my last name was weird..... that's the weirdest one I've ever heard! For sure extraterrestrial.

That about sums it up... and some sisters with weird tattoos on their arms that make people not like them?! So dumb.
