Students and community members from all walks of life are invited to GenSex’s Birthwork Panel THIS Friday, March 15th, from 6-8pm. Come hear an alternative narrative about childbirth from the perspectives of doulas and midwives involved in the Bay Area birthwork movement. The hospital might seem like the “natural” place to give birth nowadays—but it doesn’t have to be!
