  Time: 1:30pm. Admission: FREE. Age restrictions: All Ages. Address: 5501 N. Lamar Blvd. #A-105. Our Bodies, Ourselves: Pregnancy and Birth

Join us for an early afternoon discussion featuring Judy Norsigian, OBOS’ executive director and co-founder.

Our Bodies, Ourselves: Pregnancy and Birth challenges the status quo of maternity care when it is not serving the best interests of women, babies, and families. In the same vein as the groundbreaking Our Bodies, Ourselves book, this book presents well researched information intertwined with women’s personal stories. A range of topics from hospital to home births are explored in the hopes that it will inspire women to feel more confident and comfortable about approaching motherhood.
04/07/08 Iconic Woman in Austin, TX Reel Women US
  Time: 6:00pm. Admission: FREE. Age restrictions: No minors. Address: Opal Divine’s Freehouse, West 6th & Rio Grande Streets. If you’re not familiar with the “First Monday Mix” . . . Some Reel Women got together and decided that we needed to do more casual and social events. It’s great to get all that good information at the meetings and to get educated at the workshops, but sometimes we just want to chat . . . and get to know each other . . . and to pick each others’ brains! Not only that, but if you miss a meeting, then you have to wait a whole month before you get connected again. And, voila! The first Monday of every month will be a “First Monday Mix”. If the First Monday happens to be a holiday, then we might bump it into the next week, but we’ll let you know for sure in our Updates newsletter.

If you’re working on a project, looking for advice or support, or just need to get away from the computer and out of the house for awhile, this might be just the thing. No charge to attend, but the hosting establishment always appreciates your buying a snack or refreshment!

Open to Everyone
