2011 - Talk Birth

educational programs that have a direct, and positive impact on women’s pregnancy and birth experiences.
In her words...
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your work and the ongoing work of Choices in Childbirth.
Your Guide has singularly been the best and most comprehensive resource I have been given to
date. Two months ago I decided to switch my care over to ”Mother-Friendly” facilities and practitioners.
Finding alternatives to traditional practices proved to be one of the most difficult and stressful projects in
my pregnancy. I was give your Guide last week and within 2 days I had set up meetings with a pre-natal
chiropractor, birth center, pediatrician, and midwife!
