What about a trip to NZ and see how things are going there and also check out the NZ group TABS -Trauma After Birth Support- a well needed reality check for how women are effected by birth experience. Perhaps a visit to Nancy Wiener-Cohen author of Silent Knife and a vbac supporter in the US ??

I wouldn't glorify birthing in the Netherlands too much - their breastfeeding rates are amongst the lowest in the World. A wonderful birth experience is the best way to start (extrauterine) life - but to be breastfed will have a longer term effect on the health and well being of the baby and

I'm totally for breastfeeding and have breastfed all 3 of my kids. What I am seeing at the moment (can only speak for this area) is so much emphasis on breastfeeding and solittle on anything else. Sure - breastfeeding is great and is the 'best' but I believe when a woman feels safe and
