Hi- hope people don't mind me posting here. I'm currently the 'acting chair' (somehow) of Coventry NCT. We are showing the film, the business of being born, at Warwick Arts Centre on 8th October 7.30pm followed by a panel discussion from managers/ senior health/ maternity professionals from Warwick and Coventry PCTs. The film looks at birth culture in the US and how it could possibly go here (i.e. very high section rates and only 8% women have midwife with them(the rest with obsetrician). If anyone is interested in coming please give us a shout on 07974 209882, tickets are £7.50 - any profits from the showing go to NCT Coventry and Warks and Independent Midwifes Association. website for the film is www.thebusinessofbeingborn.com
If anyone has any other NCT queries, give us a shout as well-we are running 'drop in' informal antenatal classes starting in October. Also are getting a local vbac (vaginal birth after ceasarean) support group together. Rachel x
