Birth Notes
Writing about pregnancy, birth and midwifery care, plainly and direct.
Practical guides, honest reviews of the research, and answers to the questions I get asked most in clinic. VBAC, homebirth, induction, postpartum recovery, and the choices that come with each one.
Every so often something more reflective finds its way in here too, when birth asks for a different kind of writing. For more of that, I write Hysterix.

How much vomiting and nausea in pregnancy is normal?
You don't need a referral to a specialist clinic to get proper care, and you shouldn't be told to wait for one before anyone takes your symptoms seriously.
