Extreme childbirth Doula, schmoula: adherents of "freebirthing" go it totally solo.
  • We all know Dr. Amy is a Party Pooper, but is she a fraud too?

    Dr. Amy,

    I've noticed that you don't have any pictures up on your three blogs. You also have no video, and rarely if ever, talk about your family.

    You don't talk like a real woman. I have had contact with hundreds of women in my circle of life. Friends, my eleven sisters and sisters in law, those who took my childbirth class, and fellow Bradley Teachers etc etc.... And you don't express yourself like a real woman.

    You are a caricature of a person spewing the party line over and over and over in the various places you post and write and defend to the death the obstetrical model of birth.

    You know who I think you are?

    I think you are four Public Relations dudes from Eli Lilly set up as a blogger to defend the staus quo on the web.

    It is up to you to prove that you are real. Post a video of yourself on You Tube. And while you are at it, let us see your birth certificate and credentials in that video.

    The thing about the web is, you can fool some of the people some of the time, but if you are a blogger fraud, you will be found out.

    Times up DR. AMY, the onus is on you. Prove that you are real. DO IT NOW, and do not write one more word against home birth until you do.

    The Reuters UC Birth article is up. http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSL2148514320070522

    You are swimming against a flood of evidence based birth practices and I believe it is simply time for you to go away.

    Jenny Hatch
