Rach come! the more people the bigger the impact!

I was thinking about it, but even though I didn't have one, I desperately wanted an epidural and would request one next time so I always feel like I don't really fit in with people who are all for natural, 'normal' birth...

 

[frouphea]

I would, if it wasn't at the weekend!

Its not just for women who want an all natural birth...its abt birth choices...women should have a choice about where and how they have their babies. If your birth choices include having a epidural then you should be able to access one, same as if someone's birth choice includes a homebirth or use of a birthing centre pool then they should be provided with support and means to do so.

heres a quote from aims.org abt the rally:

We are rallying to make it clear to our Governments in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland that:

Women and families need to be looked after by known and trusted midwives throughout pregnancy, birth and after birth.

Women need to have easy access to stand alone birth centres run by midwives and to home births, as well as obstetric units.

Heres a bit more info from NCT but also there r a list of other ways you can support the campaign even if you can't make the rally.
