Reader Feedback

Karen from Park Slope says:
The Planned Parenthood of New York City Action Council invites you to Our Bodies, Ourselves: Pregnancy and Birth, a free book signing and educational salon.

For years the Our Bodies, Ourselves book series has provided readers with indispensable information on women's health and sexuality. Now we have brought the same knowledge and perspective to our new book on childbirth.
By drawing on the most accurate research, the personal experiences of many individual women, and the advice of midwives, physicians, and other health care providers, Our Bodies, Ourselves: Pregnancy and Birth will help you navigate the many choices you face during this exciting and challenging time.

If you are pregnant or wanting to become pregnant, please come to ask questions and learn something new in a friendly, supportive environment. You’ll have the opportunity to share your experiences with other expectant mothers in your neighborhood who may have some of the same questions and concerns.

Date: May 22, 2008
Time: 7:00pm
Place: Old Stone House, Park Slope Brooklyn (5th Avenue, between 3rd and 4th Streets)
This event is free, but limited seating is available. Please RSVP via email activists@ppnyc.org.
