Jan. 2nd I will be speaking about unassisted childbirth on ABC TV's "20/20" as part of a segment on homebirth (both unassisted and midwife-assisted). There will also be segments on orgasmic birth and long-term breastfeeding. This week, several articles in connection with the program have been posted on the ABC news web site:
Unassisted childbirth and homebirth with midwives: Mothers-to-Be Saying No to Modern Medicine
Orgasmic birth: Labor Orgasms Called 'Best-Kept Secret'
Video about long-term breastfeeding: Extreme Breastfeeding
As usual, there will be negative comments from those who disapprove of these practices, but hopefully some truth will get through. If nothing else, it should get people talking!

This is great. I recently started reading your blog. I am extremely interested in unassisted childbirth and I studied it extensively with my first pregnancy, although my child was born in a hospital setting. Thank you for all the information and encouragement. I hope more women can educate themselves on such wonderful topics!
You're welcome! Best of luck with your future births! (Please note the new air date for 20/20 - Jan. 2nd.)
