Today, I found a primary care physician, in my insurance network, who told me that, if my pregnancies are healthy and low-risk, it makes absolutely no sense to deliver my babies in a hospital or even visit a doctor simply because I'm pregnant.
In other news, the world may end tonight.

- Art is how I make love to the earth. Wine is how the earth makes love to me. I practice yoga because, as Ani DiFranco has said, all that steel and stone are no match for the air, my friend; what doesn't bend breaks. Everything I do I do fiercely. I think in pictures, see in layers, hear in whispers, and feel in torrents. My mind never halts. My heart never yields. My soul is never sated. Beauty and love are my food and drink. God inhabits my inner, silent sanctum. I place my faith in paradox. I carry my friends with me, ever and always. There is no better partner than my husband.

super cool. When my brother was born (in Warsaw, very close to Pike Lake) an MD attended the birth (at our home)-- he'd worked in Africa for several years and so it all made sense...at least, that's the connection I've made in my head.
It's amazing how much we've forgotten.
you mean...it's not an illness?
I know, right? Who knew?
WHOA, is right! very very cool!
wow, so awesome! does this MD attend homebirths?
No, alas, she doesn't even do pelvic exams. And everything she knows about obstetric care, she learned from midwives too!!
