Free Informational Meeting for Expectant Parents

November Meeting Topic: Separating fact from fiction: what are pelvic floor problems related to pregnancy and childbirth? How can I avoid them?

What is exactly the pelvic floor? What are the causes of weak pelvic floor muscles? Will an episiotomy or an elective c/section protect my pelvic floor? What are the risks of some labor and birth practices and benefits of Kegel exercises?

In this month's meeting we will explore this question and offer resources that may help you decide what is right for you.

Our meeting will feature guest speakers, both care providers and new mothers who will share their choices and experiences.

The session is generously hosted by 14 Street Y.

DATE: Monday November 17th 2008, 6:15-8:30PM

LOCATION: 344 East 14th Street (1st Ave)


GUEST SPEAKERS: Memaniye Cinque, midwife and Isa Herrera, physical therapist and two new mothers.
We hope to see you there, and welcome you to invite your friends, family or other expectant families who might be interested.

RSVP is appreciated (laure@choicesinchildbirth.org)

Join NARAL NY this Saturday in PA to Get Out the Vote for OBAMA!



Get on the Bus!

We are now in the most crucial month for the presidential election. With new polls being released every day and excitement intensifying across the country, you might be asking yourself, as a pro-choice New Yorker, what can I do to help? How can I contribute to national efforts?

Unlike any election in history, this one depends on individuals who are willing to get involved. Grassroots activities like knocking on doors, rallying and talking to voters will make the difference. That’s why NARAL Pro-Choice New York is asking you to…

Get on the bus!

With 21 electoral votes, Pennsylvania is a crucial battleground for the presidential election. That’s why we’re heading down to Pennsylvania by the busload. Join us for day trips to Pennsylvania to knock on doors to identify pro-choice voters, talk about where Barack Obama and John McCain each stand on choice, and raise awareness about local pro-choice candidates.



· Saturday, October 18

· Saturday, October 25


Buses leave from the NARAL Pro-Choice New York office, 470 Park Ave. South, 7th Floor (get directions) at 7:30am and will be back in NYC around 7pm.

Email Lalena Howard or call 646-520-3506 to reserve your seat.
