When Julie interviewed me about homebirth, I told her that given the name of her program DIY Portland, she should know about unassisted birth - the true do it yourself birth. I'm not sure that my mentioning of it was included as she edited our interview, but that's how it went down. <BR/><BR/>SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-77075769645727584302008-05-02T19:05:00.000-04:002008-05-02T19:05:00.000-04:00Hi Susan, thanks for commenting.Hi Susan, thanks for commenting.Rixahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908864785513937876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-30282384925011478092008-05-02T18:13:00.000-04:002008-05-02T18:13:00.000-04:00Hi, I'm Susan who was interviewed.

I wanted to clarify that what I said "frightening and horrible"I was referring to the lack of insurance not unassisted birth. I hope my overall affirmation of unassisted birth for women who choose it for purposes of empowerment came across.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377690351051760214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-77390054359226348332007-08-19T21:00:00.000-04:002007-08-19T21:00:00.000-04:00I just wanted to tell you.

There has been a recent explosion in TV, radio, magazine, and newspaper articles about UC especially in the British Commonwealth. For example, I've been interviewed for a US newspaper, a UK weekly magazine (Grazia), a UK TV show, and an Australian monthly magazine (Marie Claire). Right now there's a lot more buzz in the UK than in the States or Canada. More in Canada than in the US, actually, because of the SOGC's recent position on freebirthing.Rixahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908864785513937876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-416439976281742772007-08-17T20:46:00.000-04:002007-08-17T20:46:00.000-04:00I have the feeling the interviewer took the commen...I have the feeling the interviewer took the comment about UCing because they couldn't afford another birth being horrible as a commentary on UCing in general. Interesting. Thanks for posting these - I enjoy reading what's out there.
