Of course, some situations may arise necessitating the use of some drugs...but how do we justify the use of most of the drugs given to women during pregnancy, especially during labor and birth? This page is dedicated to making alternatives to drugs during conception, pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding known and available. I hope that you find the information useful.

My favorite book ever:

How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor, by Robert Mendelsohn. An absolute must read for every parent. Gives excellent information about what is really necessary and what isn't and when and why to go to the doctor. Mendelsohn was a pediatrician--and the honesty in this book about the medical profession is absolutely astounding!!
