Which reminds me of a conversation we had at BirthCircle yesterday--so 
much of the intervention in moms and babies really is necessary because 
of the lack of good health to begin with.

  We can't fault our local hospital nurses for not knowing how to handle 
a mom who wants no intervention when most of what they see is moms who 
smoke through pregnancy and live on Snickers and Mountain Dew (for 
those who are fortunate enough to *not* know what these are, it's a 
candy bar and a seriously caffeinated, artificially colored carbonated 
drink) and NEED intervention.

  Lots of these premies are doubly disadvantaged because the womb wasn't 
an optimal environment either.

Off to order a winter's supply of nettles and rose hips :)
