Words every laboring woman should consider before they choose a care provider.....

"If a woman doesn’t look like a goddess during birth, then someone isn’t treating her right."
~ Ina May Gaskin

Your doctor may be well-known, and even well-liked but that does not mean he or is she is right for you. Find a care provider who treats you and your pregnancy gently. The way you are cared for during your pregnancy is a reflection of how you will be treated during labor. Do not ignore signs if you feel uncomfortable during your prenatal visits, or if you feel rushed in and out of each visit. There ARE doctors and midwives out there who will listen to you, help address your fears and answer each and every question you have.
