April 16: Childbirth, does it have to be painful?

Come to our free monthly meeting Weds, April 16th as we discuss whether childbirth has to be painful.  What role do your expectations  play in your birth experience?  What methods can you use to ease your labor?  Find out what has worked for other moms!

 Also, check out our New and Expanded Lending Library.  YOU can have access to books and DVDs that can enrich your birthing and parenting experience.  Many of our books are not available at public libraries, so save some money and borrow ours!
