Livre d'Or

I'm childless, and I haven't had to face the childbearing question (through a fortunate circumstance of unpressuring parents and an accepting community), but I have a friend who hails from rural US (Oregon, I believe) with thoughts on this stuff. She's in Australia now, so that might colour her perceptions, but I think she might be interested in contributing to this?

She's in her mid-twenties, the mother of one, about to become the mother of two. Married, pro-homebirth (but not obsessively so: they had a medical berth booked in at the hospital and if anything had gone wrong they'd have used it), pro-sex-ed, with close family who's been through teenage pregnancy, etc.

She's not on LJ, so I'd give you her email if you're interested and she's willing.
