Blog updates

First I want to say a huge thank-you to everyone who commented on my existential blogging crisis. It means so much to me to hear from you, and I wish I had time to respond to everyone individually. And don't worry--I have no plans to stop blogging any time soon. I really love doing this blog and I can't imagine how isolated I would feel without it.

Now for some housekeeping: I finally was able to log onto Facebook and created a fan page. All my blog posts will automatically be updated there, making it easier for you to read & share my posts. I've also linked the page to my Twitter account, so you can receive updates about new posts via Twitter.

  2. Awesomely said!!!

    I've heard this phrase so much recently by doctors defending their cesarean and intervention rates and it's such a red herring. As if anyone who disputed high intervention rates doesn't care about healthy moms and healthy babies. As if they can do ANYTHING to mother-baby dyads as long as everyone comes out alive in the end.

    Way to deconstruct this so-common and so-annoying argument!

    Rixa, my dear friend, I don't always post just because everyone says exactly what I wanted to, but I really LOVE your blog. I think it is well rounded and interesting. I like the variety and you being so far from Ill, I get to see what you are up to. Nice is so beautiful! I can't stand not having options for the birth I would like. The old "Its what is best for you and your baby", or the "it all turned out ok" isn't very reassuring. Especially when I might be facing a repeat C-section. I am 26 weeks and still my baby is breech. Turn little bunny! I really like the research you put into your blog. I have reccomended it to my midwife and she likes it as well! Keep it up! I would be lost without ya. The term So Many Fish In The Sea doesn't apply to birthing options in Illinois. Your friend, Lisa J

  4. p.s. -- you have over 1100 readers through Google Reader, according to their blog "details," so I think you reach a lot of people and make a difference, though they may lurk and never comment.
