Hello ladies!
I know it has been forever since there has been an update and I apologize. Gmail and WordPress do NOT like me and we were locked out of the account since I couldn’t use my cell phone to link accounts. ACK! Anyway, things are fixed now and we’re ready for a wonderful, eventful year! We have a new meeting space, thanks to Olde Towne Family Chiropractic Care. They are allowing us to use their space in Portsmouth. We won’t get kicked out, we can start a bit later (TRAFFIC!), and their space is AWESOME! Our first meeting of the year will be tomorrow, and we will be featuring childbirth educators from the area. They will be talking about what they offer and you will have the opportunity to talk with them to find the class that best suits your needs. We hope to see you tomorrow and through the rest of the year!

We are currently working with several places to secure a meeting space for the rest of the year. Once this space is secured, event dates, times, and the location will be posted. I am looking forward to being able to meet in the same place each month and hope to see lots of new faces! As it stands, our topics include:
Meet the Doulas
Meet the Childbirth Educators
Choosing A Provider
Healing Circles
Please keep in mind that healing circles and informational meetings alternate monthly. June will be a healing circle and July will be informational, so plan accordingly. I hope to be able to post meeting dates and times with our new location by week’s end. Stay tuned!

A cesarean is major surgery, through which a baby is born. Sometimes necessary, often not, the pain is real no matter what the reason. Is this really “just another way” to have a baby?
