Birth Choices is your essential guide to pregnancy & birth because we passionately believe that autonomy is one of the vital keys to a good birth experience. Unlike other websites, we do not issue advice – our aim is to provide you with access to up-to-date research-based unbiased information about your pregnancy & birth so you can make the right choices specific to your family. We want to arm you with straight-forward information whilst remaining impartial, because we think it’s important that you retain control over the decision making. |

Bornfree! – a site dedicated to the belief that women are the true experts of birth. Drugs, machinery, and medical personnel are no match for a woman’s own intellect and intuition. Birth is sexual and spiritual, magical and miraculous – but not when it’s managed, controlled, and manipulated by the medical establishment. My hope is that the articles and stories on this site will help women and men to cast off their fears and to begin to believe in their own abilities. |
