Marse Robert of Dale’s Wood-”Bob”-had pinned the grouseperfectly and the big setter’s son, General Longstreet – “Pete” -had backed his sire in a scene that could have served as the modelfor a sporting print. But the bird, a large cock with a season ortwo of dodging human and natural predators in his experience, hadquickly put a large cedar between himself and both guns. NeitherColonel Jeremiah …

The only midwifery program in Wilmington NC was dissolved last month leaving women days or weeks from their due dates without their chosen care provider. Members of Where’s My Midwife illustrate their anger at having fewer maternity care options with a flashmob protest at the farmer’s market Saturday. Visit www.wheresmymidwife.org for more details. The Midwifery Model of Care encourages allowing the woman’s body to process through labor without risky and painful interventions and promotes having the mom to move and cope with pain in her own way rather than being restricted to a hospital bed. We want the hospital to lift their restrictions on CNM autonomy. We want our midwives back. We won’t take birth lying down!

Ask a Midwife
Here are answers to every kind of question, from the practical (”I’m really overweight-is it safe to diet while I’m pregnant?”) to the emotional (I want to go back to work as soon as possible after I give birth-but will it affect my baby?). Mothers-to-be will benefit from the expert yet compassionate advice to questions they may feel uncomfortable asking their doctor, such as whether artificial tanning will harm their baby or whether they are likely to pass stools when giving birth.

I borrowed this book from the library and referred to it several times during the first months of my pregnancy. Like other books from this publisher, the information is well-organized and concise with lots of graphs and photos. It’s by no means encyclopedic though; for more in-depth info you may want to supplement this book with the Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy, or a similar tome.

With the excitement of expecting our first child I went in search of finding a good book to answer the many questions from pregnancy to childbirth. I looked at several books, but this is the only one that had me sitting for hours reading every detail. I had to buy it!
The great thing about this book is its ease of use. The book is divided into 6 Sections, and within each Section are many Subsections:
1. Trying for a Baby
(Example of Subsection: We want to be parents. I’ve had a miscarriage. We’re not getting pregnant. How will I know I’m pregnant?)
2. Now You’re Pregnancy
3. Your 40-Week Journey
4. Labor and Birth
5. New parents
6. A New Life
Within each Subsection the authors use Question and Answer style to discuss things such as: preeclampsia, prenatal visits, exercise, baby development, how your body changes, how / when to tell people your pregnant, working while pregnant, breastfeeding, labor, emotions of childbirth and after, neonatal intensive care, safe sleeping positions, pain relief for delivery, homebirths and hospital births, and so much more. And to keep things diversified there’s also questions and answers for your partner, and a section on your partners involvement throughout pregnancy and during delivery. Along the way are also Myths and Misconceptions.
The pages are printed on nice thick glossy paper so the many color pictures and drawings look crisp and clear. There is also a Sections tab running along the top of the pages; the one you’re in stays colored so you know what Section you are in.
We chose to have a midwife deliver our baby so this book suits us fine. A midwife wrote the book, and many other midwives made contributions. I’m certain if there’s a question you have it’s bound to be answered here.
