When Evelyn and I learned we were expecting Claes, three years ago, we started exploring local natural childbirth and child support resources, and have most enjoyed the getting to know the people with the Cleveland BirthNetwork, which is part of a national organization has a mailing list and holds regular local meet-ups and casual events... I strongly recommend expecting families to attend one of their activities, like the following...  An afternoon of discussion and meeting advocates for change, with Judy Norsigian, executive director and co-founder of Our Bodies Ourselves, and Ourselves, co-contributing editor of Our Bodies, Ourselves: Pregnancy and Birth.

Cleveland BirthNetwork:

We advocate and promote normal birth through the Mentor Mom program. The program matches pregnant women interested in learning about alternative birth options with experienced Moms who are dedicated to normal birth. We help women achieve normal birth through shared experiences and support. These connections can range from a few phone calls or emails to a regular coffee date.

Contact Cleveland Birthnetwork National at birthnetcleveland@yahoo.comor call Katy at 216-281-0872 to request a Mentor Mom or to become a Mentor Mom.

You can change our birth culture one pregnancy at a time!
