Big Belly Services

WELCOME!

This is an on-line discussion forum called Big Belly Services Meeting Place.  The Meeting Place is intended to provide a forum for my past and present students, clients, and site visitors to discuss issues pertinent to pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, postpartum, infant care, and parenting.  I have created this site so that you may ask questions of each other,  share ideas, offer support and information, and connect with other like-minded parents.  It's also a nice way for my class-mates to stay in touch!  Parenting can be a very isolating experience for some, especially if you don't make the same choices as most mainstream Americans, so I hope you will find much support, encouragement and friendship in this area.

At this time, I am not asking people to register to use the Meeting Place.  You will not have a user ID automatically assigned to messages you post or reply to, so you will need to fill in the From field (first name and last initial, or a 'handle',  should suffice) when you post.

The Meeting Place is not moderated as I am not able to supervise the forum on a daily basis.  Therefore, I expect the visitors  to play nicely together - the standard rules of discussion group etiquette apply.  No insults, name-calling, personal attacks, etc.  Open minds and respect are required.  I will check in on an infrequent basis to see how all is going.  If you have any questions you'd like me to address specifically, and I haven't responded via the Meeting Place, please contact me via email.
