I just had my mind expanded this morning by Laureen Hudson's hour long online session on how to use the internet to get a message out. Laureen's session “Creating an Online Presence," gave me a wealth of information in a short time and impressed me with how many people are out there who completely rely on the internet for their information. I needed that, and maybe you do, too. - Ina May Gaskin I just hung up the phone from doing the hour long session with
Laureen Hudson on “Creating an Online Presence”. Laureen’s know-how
and expertise were enough to wake up even the birth oldtimers like me and
Ina May to the many unused opportunities of the internet. Laureen’s
engaging and easygoing teaching style made even those scary (to me) terms
like “hypertext, streaming, wordpress, technorati, feedreader and trackback”
start to make sense. Her passion is to reach the generation of young
women who have not yet given birth BEFORE they fall into the black hole
of aggressive obstetrics. I came away from the class today with lots
of ways to improve my website and make it more modern, usable and interesting
for readers. This class will run again this coming Friday (August
22) and I heartily recommend it.
Cost: $35 per session Each session will be 60 minutes in length Creating An Online Presence

An OB/GYN N.P., who was in my practice many years ago, told me about this company in Michigan. I have recommended their products for years with WONDERFUL results. My understanding is that the company was started by two women who wanted to make a difference.
They call their company PRENATAL CRADLE. They make a prenatal cradle for mothers to wear for abdominal support, to ease back pain.(I used to have to convince women to take them off when they went to sleep at night, because they enjoy wearing them so much.) They also make a VAGINAL SUPPORTER that offers relief of vaginal pressure and pain during pregnancy. (I have seen this supporter give a great deal of comfort to women suffering from vulvar varicosities.) It reminds me of the same principle as support stockings for legs only its for the vagina. The number at the company is 1-800-383-3068. (if you want flyers)
Over the years, I have seen a good number of women helped by their products.
I don't personally know them and there is no kick back for me, just thought
I'd pass along the information in case it might help someone.
