In three weeks I have a captive audience of nursing students for two 
hours.  I am going to show them Psalm and Zoya: the Unassisted 
homebirth of our Twins, because it demolishes every preconceived notion 
of what a woman "needs" to be able to birth.  Then  will tell my own 
story.  Always in the past the rest of the time has been completely 
used up just answering questions, but if anybody has anything in 
particular that they think I just have to get in there, please let me 
know!

And please, even if your only credential is BTDT, call your local 
university or trade school and offer yourself as a guest lecturer to 
any nursing or health classes that would deal with birth or 
breastfeeding.  Doing these classes is the most fun I ever have.  It 
feels so good to know that I can maybe help head off some of the train 
wrecks that I get called to help with.
