| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

HI Kerri anne and nam.
i was wondering nam if you ever checked out MANA-the Midwives alliance of North America. Sometimes even in states where it is illegal, there are midwives to be found. look at the bible and what it says about midwives when pharoah ordered them to kill the israelite babies at birth and see why denying women the right to birth where and with whom they choose is bound to result in underground subversity!! blessings tania |

Veiled,
That is the plan with this one. Independent midwife, little interference. If we can conceive them, grow them then surely we can birth them with a little support. I know some women need the medico's and that's great that we have access to them if needed. Its just that, the almighty dollar and the thought of being sued is scaring people into unnecessary interventions and surgery. |

Bornjoyful,
We have our own maternity voices here at work in Aus to ensure that women have the right to give birth as they choose. My voice will be another one added to theirs once this babe is born. Safe, healthy births are the right of every woman. |

| |  A Reminder of How Much I Have To Be Thankful For
I never imagined I'd live to be 39yrs. old and I'm greatly thankful I'm still alive.
I have two very beautiful 6 yr. old twins boy and girl and never imagined this in all of my dreams. Thank you God for these blessings.
I'm thankful for my husband who though he has his own pers. struggles and discouragement, has stuck by me, works hard within our family, willing to spend much time with our kids and is seeking improvement in disciplines and building character most of the time. Way to go honey!
I'm thankful that I finally live somewhere safe, a place I can call home. Our home.
I'm thankful I'm not alone in this PTSD sh#* and that there is a way through it.
And, I'm thankful God didn't forget me even though I've, at times, forgotten him in my life. |

AMEN SISTERS!! Bornjoyful, yes, I do need to do more research since I plan on having the next at home. We'll see if my confidence holds up after every person around tells me I'm crazy, like I don't hear that enough! Doctors are treated with god-like quality here and since I've worked with them, I've found that they are human, with flaws, just like everyone else. Healthsystem is really screwed up. Boy are we on a tangent...
Ok, I'm thankful to be a woman! Thank you for the sun that shone today. |

Thank you God for helping me find this forum. Thank you for allowing me to have a pretty good day. Thank you for allowing me to LIVE and guiding me in this struggle. And thank you most of all for my family who without them I do not know where I would be. |

I'm thankful that I have one healthy, boisterous toddler and that I am lucky enough to have a new babe on the way. |
