Penny Simkin - Pain Versus Suffering in Labor

[ebaggerhooligan]

Oh, Penny, I love you! I am currently working towards certification through DONA and Lamaze and love your work. I started out with a great natural birth experience, and it was a revelation to me that it is good for women to have pain medication if they are suffering. It shattered my preconceptions. That said, I'm learning how to help women not suffer in childbirth and have many tools for coping without medication!!

I am now back teaching childbirth classes after 10 years "off". Our hospital has started a "comfort measures class" using your DVD as part of the instruction. I also recommend PCN and your web site to my childbirth prep class members. Thank you for your entire body of work.

Great explanation of pain vs suffering! As a Bradley teacher, I really wish the academy would put stuff like this together. I have several of Penny's books in my lending library.

Thank you so much Penny! As a Bradley teacher and a doula, I believe we need a greater understanding of labor and birth. Your quest to support women is now my own. Thanks for leading the way!
