Hey, this sounds cool. What 40ish woman didn’t come of age with Our Bodies Ourselves in the 1970’s? Back then it was THE go-to book for all the information we needed, including how to use a speculum and more. How I pored over this book, which has been reissued and revised countless times.

Join Judy Norsigian (Our Bodies Ourselves co-founder and co-author
of all OBOS titles) for a discussion about pregnancy and birth issues
Thursday, May 22 from 7-9pm in Brooklyn, NY.  Sponsored by Planned
Parenthood, the event will take place at the Old Stone House, located
on 5th Ave in the Park Slope neighborhood between 3rd and 4th streets.

Forget just knowing what to expect–learn what to do during pregnancy and beyond.

From choosing a provider to coping with labor pain, this comprehensive
book will help women make informed decisions and guide them through
pregnancy, birth, and the "fourth trimester" of early motherhood. 

"The trusted Boston Women’s Health Book Collective has written a
comprehensive, accessible, and up-to-date book for expectant mothers.
It balances important facts, scientific date, and evidence with the
voice of the "wise woman"; and it provides questions to ask, issues to
think about, and options to consider and discuss. This is the #1 book I
am going to recommend to my patients."

–Timothy R.B. Johnson MD FACOG, Bates Professor and Chair of
Obstetrics and Gynecology and Professor of Women’s Studies, University
of Michigan

"As a new mother myself, I appreciated all the scientific evidence
that was used to back up recommendations or to question standard
practices. And yet this book manages to be a smart, readable guide that
is not preachy — a rarity for pregnancy books."

–Tina Cassidy, author of Birth: The Surprising History of How We Are Born
