| NEW & EXPECTANT PARENTS Alternative Health Fare at the Harris YMCA. Monday, Nov. 10th from 8:30 AM to 11 AM Come out and meet the Charlotte Doulas! Holistic Alternative (formerly Holistic Moms Network) Meets every 3rd Wednesday at Earthfare 12235 N. Community House Road Charlotte, NC Contact Pat Robinson for information wuweimama@earthlink .net ICAN of Charlotte! When: Saturday October 25th, 10 am Where: For location information call 704-706-7037 or send an email to Anne Kensey icanofcharlotte @gmail.com What: New hope, understanding, support, and education is coming to Charlotte families struggling with a locally challenging birth climate and traumatic birth experiences. 1 in 3 women give birth via cesarean section and this rate is rising. 1 in 20 women experience traumatic stress following birth. Rates of Post Partum Depression (PPD) are on the rise. Women's options in birth are increasingly limited, especially in the Charlotte area where it is rumored that some local hospitals are looking to impose limitations on Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC). National tension adds to this, with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' (ACOG) resolution to make homebirth illegal for birthing mothers. With the introduction of ICAN of Charlotte, a chapter of the International Cesarean Awareness Network, Inc., whose mission is to "improve maternal-child health by preventing unnecessary cesareans through education, providing support for cesarean recovery, and promoting Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC)," women and families in the Charlotte area who have previously felt isolated can rejoice in being heard, supported, and educated. ICAN of Charlotte Anne Kinsey, Chapter Leader Birth Circle Oct 25th at 6pm. More information here There will be a circle for the men at this one as well. Childcare will be provided at the location with advance notice of how many children and the ages. Nursing babies are expected. Please contact Brooke Atkinson for more information at 704-888-3034 home and 704-941-1383 cell or beautiful-birth@hotmail .com This will be a monthly or bi-monthly event. Please check back for more dates. |
