The Jewish Birth Network's first local program to launch, the birth circle is geared towards pregnant women and new moms, open to all women who are interested in talking about pregnancy, birth and babies, andthis month only is open to men as well.
At a birth circle you'll find a supportive, confidential, pluralistic, environment where you can meet people, share experience, and ask questions about the journey to parenthood.
You can hear a range of experiences as you prepare to birth your baby, and ask questions about birth, babies and parenting.
You'll have a chance to tell your birth story and be heard, and to process your story in new ways.
You'll meet other expecting couples, new moms and dads, birth professionals and birth enthusiasts.
Each circle includes refreshments and a Magic Beans gift card prize raffle and is hosted by a co-sponsoring institution in different locations around the Boston area, and is focussed around a theme to guide the discusion.

March's theme: Control - Who (if anyone) is in control throughout the birth process? How much control can we maintain? Is letting go a necessary part of the process? How is the birth experience affected by our attitudes toward authority and autonomy?
