Heads up!!! The Early Bird deadline for conference is
fast approaching! Between now and February 28, you

This Silver Anniversary Conference will bring
together a wide range of birth professionals, birth
advocates and consumers. It's the first time ICAN has
had an OB on the agenda.

Dr. Mark Landon, author of the first large-scale
American prospective study on VBAC, will be there to

This is a terrific opportunity for birth professionals
to hear the good news about VBAC while
fulfilling professional educational requirements.

consultant, you'll want to come hear Diane
Wiessinger's talk "What Would Mammals Do?"

If you are a birth activist, you'll want to hear
Lynn Paltrow from NAPW answer the question "Do
Pregnant Women Have Rights?" She was co-counsel
representing Angela Carder's family in the famous
1987 suit against George Washington University Medical
Center, winning a decision on appeal that held
the hospital was wrong in obtaining a court order to
perform a cesarean against the wishes of Carder (a
cancer patient), her family and the obstetrical
department.

Susun Weed, author of Wise Woman Herbal for the
Childbearing Year, will discuss "After the Cesarean:
Herbal Healing for Mother and Child."

The stellar list of speakers includes: Dr. Marsden
Wagner, Henci Goer, Sharon Storton, Esther Booth Zorn,
