Advocacy

In the coming weeks, I'm hoping our local ICAN chapter will undertake a new venture. We will be peppering the Greater Victoria area with pamphlets about c-section and VBAC. Anywhere you find new moms or moms-to-be, you'll find our pamphlet. Community centres, OB/midwife offices, kiddie stores, coffee shops. You name it. We'll be there.

If I get permission from ICAN, I'll post a link to the pamphlets here so you can download and print them yourselves. Stay tuned.

The c-section rate at Victoria General hospital is nearing 40%. It's nearly that high in the rest of Canada and across North America. What will you do?
