thoughts about putting together a FAQ's?

Texas77again

i see the same questions posted here all the time.  i wonder if it would be helpful for people who come here to be able to click on the FAQ's for answers to the more common questions. 

what do you guys think?  good idea? 

what other questions can you think of?   i was thinking some questions could be:

~ what are some book recommendations on natural birth and breastfeeding?

~ what is a doula and how do i find one?

~ what is the difference between a midwife and nurse midwife?

~ how do i know if a mw is right for me?

~ what questions to ask my health care provider?

~ what are some natural birth induction techniques?

~ what to do for a breech baby?

~ what is a VBAC/HBAC and can i have one?

~ tears vs episiotomies, which is preferred?

~ what is placenta encapsulation?

~ GBS and the out of hospital birth.  (or just GBS info regarding birth in general)

~ natural birth educational options  (hypnobabies, bradley...etc.)

~ what are the benefits of a water birth?

~ what to do about negative reactions to my birth plan from friends/family?

How about the old, "Why go natural?  Nobody's going to give you a medal, you know..."

I think a FAQ is a great idea! I would suggest adding something about the differences between Hypnobirthing and Hypnobabies, since that question seems to come up fairly often. And maybe something about the Hypnobabies home study course, I think that's asked often, too.

I like this idea! What about a question about the pros/cons of birth center, home, or hospital and why everyone arrived at that decision??

I think it is an awesome idea. The cloth diaper FAQs are a big help, so I imagine these will be as well, as I have seen the same questions repeated over n over!

I know the one thing I've been looking for is information on birth plans. So maybe having a link to a bunch of examples or something would be helpful.

kattyleigh

Great idea! Please include the correct description/"what is a hep lock/saline lock". That question drives me nuts.

For the VBAC question, can you mention that we have a VBAC board?

Ceridwen21

Maybe a question about eating/drinking during labor?

Who is your birth coach and why?

I don't think these were mentioned yet...not really NB, but typically things we NBers are interested in...

- where to find good info on alternative vaccine schedules

- good resources for pros/cons of circumcision
