would you go to this?
http://www.birthlightconference.com
I just got this link sent through, having read the schedule, I desire passionately to attend, it totally fits in with my role as a lay member of the maternity services liason comittee at our local hospital, and also with my current project in setting up a swimming class for postnatally depressed mums. It's being held the other side of our town, so practically very doable, though financially a bit more tricky. I just can't imagine this happening and all these people all being gathered just a few miles away and not being there! Imagine being taught the Gaskin manouvere by Ina May Gaskin herself! Am I crackers? Anne |

I wouldn't, but I am not interested in this kind of stuff. But, if this is
something that you are interested in, then sure why not. -- Sue (mom to three girls) "Anne Rogers" wrote in message ... http://www.birthlightconference.com I just got this link sent through, having read the schedule, I desire passionately to attend, it totally fits in with my role as a lay member of the maternity services liason comittee at our local hospital, and also with my current project in setting up a swimming class for postnatally depressed mums.

(as a side note...ina may usually doesn't talk about the gaskin
maneuvers at conferences....) I double checked the schedule, she's doing one talk, but also a workshop, specifically titled the gaskin manouvere Michel Odent is interesting to listen to...even if I don't agree with everything he says. Frederick Leboyer is awesome...simply awesome. Suzanne Arms...heh...she's funny. She was at my house about 7 years ago and I just fell in love with her... ok, now I really want to go! Anne |

hi Jo, it was you and people like Elfanie, who I was wondering what you'd think about it. Price is around 350pounds which is more than we would spend on a holiday these days, our budget is fairly tight, however it is fairly similar to the tax I overpaid 2 years ago, so if the inland revenue actually get there act together and refund it, I'd have the funds. There may be a couple of agencies that I can convince to donate something towards it, which would be brill, my MIL is happy to care for the children. Ada will be 13 months, so breastfeeding wouldn't be too much of a problem, all in all, it just seems good timing for me. I'm quite surprised that such a thing has been able to happen here, there isn't a particularly strong natural birth movement here, birthlight does quite a bit of stuff, but they don't really reach that many people, probably only 1-2% of the births locally, we did there antenatal classes and they were excellent. Now I've just got to work on my husband! Anne |

I wouldn't, but I am not interested in this kind of stuff. But, if this is
something that you are interested in, then sure why not. the why not is the money thing unfortunately, the cost would be more than we would spend on a weeks holiday. Anne |

If you can swing the cost, I think you should go. You've been having a
hard time for a long while--now you deserve to treat yourself. Leslie |

It might be worth asking, and would take a bite out of the steep price tag. I would think the conference itself also might offer discounted admission for volunteers (which I assume you are). These are suggestions based on how I'd get into a pricey conference in my field, which is admittedly very different from your area of interest, but I thought I'd at least mention it. I always think it's amazing what one can do and get with persuasion and lobbying for ones cause! :-) -Carlye DD 9-29-04 Baby boy "Hale" EDD 6-2-06 |
