On today's Your Call, we’ll talk about what it means to have a baby, and all the choices involved. Cesarean births are on the rise and simultaneously there is a growing movement toward working with midwives and giving birth at home. How do we make it so that people can make informed, free choices in their childbirth process? If you’re a parent-to-be, how are YOU figuring out what's best for you and your family? Join us at 10am Pacific Time or post a comment here. It’s Your Call with Holly Kernan and You.
