Natalie and I gave some similar talks to 14 &
15 year old girls about the joys and benefits of particularly homebirth but also
midwifery led care. We had such a ball, as did they and many of them at the end
of the session said that they would definately have a homebirth and/or
waterbirth.
This particular teacher is running such a fantastic
program, which includes the girls taking home 'virtual babies' for 3 days and
nights. One girl said she was exhausted because her baby was waking up every 2
hours and would only sleep if it was in the bed next to her - sound
familiar?
This type of community education is so important,
we volunteered our time through HAS to run these sessions, shame it's not
financially supported by local Govt.
Hopefully they'll take the information with them
into womanhood!
