Gaskin profile in The New York Times

Just wanted to pass along this article about Ina May Gaskin in the NYTimes. Nothing we haven't heard before but interesting nonetheless. I actually gave birth (I believe, from the description) in the same hospital as the reporter. I had a great experience there because I used their in-hospital birthing center, but my my guess is she "risked out" because of "big baby" fears. Anyway, I agree with her conclusion 100%: women need more options that aren't a choice between a commune and overly-medicalized care.

really enjoyed that article. I always find the comments section on such polarising articles to be interesting too.

Thanks for sharing.
