An archived program: by Barbara Harper - To Quote Barbara Harper, RN, "The pendulum, we hope, has swung as far as it can in the direction of the medicalization of birth and is now swinging back to a more sensible friendly approach.." When the 1st edition of Gentle Birth Choices was published in 1994, Barbara was already an educated, experienced and outspoken advocate for mothers and babies and families. Her nonprofit, Global Maternal/Child Health Association, has been going strong since 1990. |

"Birthing alternatives: The Waterbirth," by Theresa arner, D.C., FICPA, from the Chiropractic Journal For many women, labor can be an arduous time.
