Thanks to NBC Contributor Marisa Belger, one less person in the world thinks we doulas do rain stick dances!
I must say I had to chuckle at that, included in an article Expecting Parents: What is A Doula.
Far from being hard-hitting journalism, this fluffy piece did feature valuable quotations from current DONA president Debbie Young.
But then again, we are talking about the main stream media here. Sigh....................
Absent from Ms. Belger's article was the statistical data accumulated over 25+ years and thousands of births stating the percentages of decrease in cesarean sections, epidural anesthesia, inductions, and the reduction in length of labor due in part to gravity positive positioning AND reduction of fear. Things expectant mothers want to know and need to know to make informed choices.
But then again, we are talking about the main stream media here. Sigh....................
Well, one thing they are not expecting is the upcoming press release and resolution from the November 8th Chicago Birth Summit. In December, there will be a media blitz with these two items being available in PDF format for inclusion on your website. If you have a birth website and would like to have these items on your site for your readers to read, please email me at info@birthsource.com. You will be one of the first to receive them when they have been approved by the participating organizations.
Perhaps the press release and resolution will be picked up?
But then again, we are talking about the main stream media here. Sigh....................(CHUCKLE)
