The Rhode Island Birth Network
RIBN supports gentle birth - a birth that is designed by mother, baby, and family - one that is respected and supported by the medical provider and medical facility. Gentle birth recognizes both natural and medically assisted births; it simply means that the choice is yours; a choice based in confidence, awareness and respect for the process.
RIBN strives to educate women and families about the benefits of evidence-based care, which provides that medical standards should not be imposed in birth, but used in birth if medically necessary. Their goal is to make birthing better for women, babies and partners throughout the state, building bridges with birthing professionals to see it through.
RIBN wants to help you realize the potential for your birth day, providing you with options so you can make informed decisions and look forward to the experience of welcoming your new baby.

Rhode Island New Moms Connection
Rhode Island New Moms Connection offers pregnancy groups, new mom groups, and *new* second-time-around groups (for mamas who are pregnant with their second child). It their our mission to provide affordable and accessible groups to women throughout the state of Rhode Island. Groups are facilitated at various locations.
Rhode Island New Moms Connection began coordinating and facilitating these groups as a means for women to share their experiences and develop a community of "Mommy Friends." Some women find themselves feeling isolated during pregnancy and new motherhood. Their structured groups allow women to feel supported while exploring their own feelings and listening to others share openly. These affordable groups allow all women to participate. These groups make a wonderful gift for a pregnant friend or new mom--or a wonderful gift for YOU!

The Accidental Amazon
The Accidental Amazon is an uncool, asymmetrical, post-menopausal, ex-hippie-chick artist and writer with a day job in healthcare who was diagnosed with breast cancer in July of 2008. The cancer was found on a screening mammogram. She had no family history and has thus far lived to complain about it and decided to start a blog while still breathing. Because as John Lennon once said, life is what happens when you're making other plans. Her mission is to talk about art, work, play and life now that she has survived the Big Monster and to throw dirt at it by describing her experience with all the irreverence, indignation, perspective and humor she can muster, all in the hopes that it might help someone else get through something difficult or at least make someone laugh at life now and then. She has also gathered some pertinent information as well to help breast cancer and cancer patients find their way through this challenging, life-altering adventure.
