     Hi, I am a mother, grandmother and midwife for over thirty years. This site is full of birth stories and pictures of happy families. Informacion en Espanol. Homeopathy is one of my areas of expertise and you can find information and a labor stimulation formula here. There is also a CD on homeopathy for sale. I have news alerts- right now these focus on Cytotec and Gardisil. I am writing books of birth stories and there is ordering information here. I welcome feedback and you can e-mail dianeinbisbee@yahoo.com. Look below if this isn't your first visit to see notes about what's new. Enjoy!

     Happy New Year Friends, 
            I had six births in December with the last a 10# 8oz. water birth. Kids Involved With Birth, in English and Spanish, is at the printer and I'll have a sale page here soon. All my books are also available on Amazon.com but a better price and autographing through me. I have added more information on the Gardisil alert and many more pictures. Soon I hope to have some birth video clips here as a new client with skills. Check the new movie schedule.

Hi friends,
     The new center pictures are up though a few more to come. I'm cleaning up the pages and adding lots of pictures if you haven't checked in a while. My newest book, Kids Involved With Birth, is headed to the publisher and will be in English and Spanish. Enjoy those babies.

Hi Friends,
     The three babies mentioned below came in one week with two back to back night ones. Those are harder as I get older. The CD on homeopathy is ready for sale and there is a page with description and ordering info.  You can always e-mail me with questions. dianeinbisbee@yahoo.com I'll do my best to get Birth Sounds up next week but three more babies due. I hope you are enjoying summer.
      Well again, the three babies came all in a week, the last a nine pounder born in the tub. Birth Sounds is now here and a small change to CD page. You can now get it internationally too. Soon I'll have pictures of my new center and waterbirth tubs.

Hi friends,

Dear friends,
      I have a new beautiful birth center with two private birthing suites with waterbirth tubs in both. I'm at 821 Hwy 92. I'm doing aerobics every Tuesday at 10am with an open house from 11-1pm after every week. There will be free movies the first and third Sunday of the month at 2pm and everyone is welcome.
     Six babies in January and every day is full. I hope you will come by and see the new place if you are in the area. When my computer is working again I'll be adding a video tour of the center.                   
     My grandson is walking and makes every day a joy. Hug those babies,   Diane

    Hi Friends, 
        I started this website actively last summer. I'm keeping some notes from earlier that are still pertinent. 
     I am being interviewed on a NYC radio station a few times and you can access it on the web if you are interested.

Dear Friends,

     Exciting days since I last wrote. Seven babies in August. One early September then off to the Lamaze conference and more births as soon as I returned. The one in early September was 9# 2oz., almost two pounds bigger than her previous babies. They own some Lil Caesar's and no one could believe she had that big a baby without drugs or tearing and dad helped deliver in their oversize bathtub!
     The Lamaze conference was fun and stressful too. Caesarian rate up to 35% overall now and some hospitals are topping 50%. Our maternal death rate has risen every year for the last five! I feel sure this is due in large part to the use of Cytotec; see my news/alert page.
     I also met many wonderful people who are making a difference. Look for two films to be coming out hopefully in the near future. One is Steve Buonaugurio's Pregnant In America and the other is Rikki Lake's The Business Of Being Born. Both are wonderful and very eye-opening for the average person.
     I met some wonderful artisans and many great people have websites that are complementary to this one. I am starting a resource page with a brief description and links.
     I'm understanding more how much homeopathy can positively impact birth for women in hospital too and will be writing in more places and teaching about this. Soon I will add the article from the second book here. Homeopathy is inexpensive, safe and without any negative side effects for mom or baby.For now you can e-mail if you have a question.
     Towards better birth for everyone,
                                                                                     Diane

Dear Friends,
     Busy days continue with two first babies so far this month. Both girls, 8# 2oz. and a whopping 8# 11oz. Both born without tears and moms and babies doing well.
     I have exciting news in soon having the labor stimulation formula available for people who want to try it. This has worked with most of my women with 75% going into labor within three days and 90% by a week. I don't use it before term and usually start with evening primrose first. See my article here. 41% of women in the US currently have their labors induced with Pitocin or the more dangerous Cytotec-see my news/alert page. An additional 34% get Pitocin during labor to speed things up especially when an epidural has slowed things down. Homeopathy causes a perfectly normal labor without the extra strong contractions of Pitocin. It is safe, inexpensive and available over the counter in most health food stores.
     My other news is far more disturbing and I hope to get the full article in my news/alert section soon but babies and my family taking a lot right now. Most of you have probably seen the commercials for Gardisil, the supposed vaccine for HPV and by insinuation the easily treated cervical cancer. It is being very heavily promoted in the media and some are working hard to make it mandatory for young women. What you won't see in these commercials and campaigns are the ugly facts. As of July 2007, there have been 2,207 reported adverse incidents including five! deaths.
     Between March and May 2007 Gardisil alone was 20% of all reported vaccine injuries. Please do your research before you allow your healthy daughters to become guinea pigs in another vast experiment. Cancer takes 15-20 years to develop and if you listen to the commercials they say it may protect against it. Cervical cancer is fortunately easily detected with routine Pap tests and can be treated simply as well.
     Enjoy your loved ones and remember how precious is our time together.

Hi Visitors,
     I had an exciting and busy November. The best news is my daughter had her baby November 24th. A 7# 15oz. boy, Wyatt Earl. Her whole labor was only 4 hours and 15 minutes for a first baby and we were all amazed and delighted. I'll be adding pictures to my site soon.
     The Gardisil alert is finally on the site and a new birth story. There is a heading for birth story titles; this is the place to see the dates they were added if you want to just read new ones. I'm adding pictures now and more to come as time permits. 
     I hope you all get to have wonderful times with family and loved ones this holiday season.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Praying for Peace,  Diane

Happy New Year Friends,
     Pictures of my grandson are now here. Instead of a story this month it's an article on Kids At Birth. Unfortunately the Gardisil situation is worsening with three more deaths in August and the reported adverse event number went to 3,779. In July and August, Gardisil alone was 28% and 26% of reported adverse events for all vaccinations.
     You can always e-mail or call, consultation and information is free. dianeinbisbee@yahoo.com 
     Here's to a healthy and happy year for all!

Dear Visitors,
     My youngest daughter's birthday is today and she's nineteen. New pictures of her and Wyatt as well as others are in the picture section. She was an unassisted waterbirth and the story is, All In A Day's Work.
     I've added a page about my midwifery care, Gentle Birth Services.

Hi Friends,
     Well I had the first Leap baby in my years of practice and another birth yesterday, a 9# 2oz. boy born with only eight minutes of pushing thanks to homeopathic belladonna.
     The Doula article is now here to read.

Hi Web Friends,
      Just attended a 9# 12oz. girl born in the rocking chair at my center. Hope you are enjoying Spring.

Hi friends,
     My oldest son turned 32 yesterday and how the years fly. A new short story, Double Victory Night, is on the site and more is coming soon.
     I hope you will take literally just a minute of your time to sign this petition to keep our freedom to birth where we choose. www.ipetitions.com/petition/birthathome?e If you've been aware of the news lately, Rikki Lake's film, The Business of Being Born, has sparked a furious response from the American College Of Obstetricians and Gynecologist's. They say of course that she's no expert and it's pushing them to try and outlaw homebirth. There is a story in my first book, Tree Of Life: Stories Of Birth, where the police showed up to force a woman in my care to go to the hospital. It is not an isolated incident just as court ordered Caesarians are not. Birth is one of the biggest moneymakers any hospital has and they won't give it up easily. Consumers are the only ones who have the power to change it with their choices.Please add your voice.
                                                                                                                                                                                                              Keeping strong,  Diane

Dear friends,
     I have an article in the latest issue of Midwifery Today, When Homeopathy Works Too Well. I'm not sure if it is available on their website but if not maybe you can request it be added. www.midwiferytoday.com
      My grandson Wyatt is crawling and always full of laughter and good at getting us laughing too.
                                                                
                                                                                I hope you are laughing every day ,  Diane
