More than “not off,” I think that DeVries is totally brilliant (I hope that came through with the “practically burst with excitement). I think that it comes down to two questions:
1. Who are we trying to reach?
and
2. How do we talk so that they can hear us?

I think that CIMS is well positioned to be the voice, but they need us to help them step up to the plate.

I don’t think DeVries is off by suggesting marketing as an outlet for getting the info out. As an ex-Marketer/Mom/hopeful VBACer, I see this as *the* biggest opportunity to give the cause a voice. The most important aspect is who will be that voice? That is the key part of the picture.

Just found your blog while doing my VBAC research. (ad nauseum…….) I will add you on twitter and catch up.

There will be another wrap-up tonight. After dinner and maybe a nap. Conferences are exhausting!

I’m going to promote the #NIHVBAC hashtag too so that we can all follow along (although I was originally going to go for just #NIH for the precious characters!)

Thanks for reading, and good luck TTC, by the way. I also really want a girl, but my worries are 1) what if it’s another boy? environment of gender equality be damned, three boys is a handful, and 2) I do not want an effing cesarean. Part of me wants to quit while I’m ahead!

I’m so glad you were live tweeting this, and thanks for the longer update. I’ll be doing the same thing at the NIH VBAC conference next week and I hope that hashtag is all abuzz with fascinating insights into the subject.

Can’t wait to hear more!

I like CIMS a lot, too. I was really impressed with the presenters they lined up last year.

Looking forward to more updates… :)
