HOMEBIRTH???

May 17, 2003

Do any of you birth your babies at home or support a mother's choice

to birth at home? You may be interested in supporting the UT Friends

of Midwives this Wed from 11:30-12:30 at the Capital. For more info

please to

We need EVERYONE WHO POSSIBLY CAN COME to be at the capitol from

11:30 AM to 12:30 PM. The Press Conference is scheduled for Noon.

How can you help?

*SHOW UP. Bring your kids and come to the capitol. We need

signers of our " I choose the Midwives Model of Care " poster and names

for the stickers on the " I was born at home into the hands of a

midwife " poster. These will be up for signing from 11:30-12:00.

*We need a volunteer to print up the fact sheets found on

(the drum on my toner cartiage is scratched--so someone else needs to

do it.)

Our " official " color is hot pink, so pink paper is preferable for

these flyers. There are 6 flyers so maybe someone could volunteer to

make 100 copies of the first 3 (or however many you can do). I have

ordered 200 brochures each of the Midwives Model of Care (CfM) and

the Certified Professional Midwife (NARM)--but I'm afraid that I may

not get them in time, so we really need these other flyers for

legislators/members of the press.

*We DESPERATELY need more visual displays (as in, we only have

the 2 previously mentioned posters). Print up " non-incriminating "

birth stories to go on a table. Leave out your name and your

midwife's. We're looking for " I had a great experience " stories

and " I loved prenatal care with a midwife " and " My midwife was so

watchful that she even knew when it was necessary to go to the

hospital " stories.

Feel free to call with any questions!
