My OB said WHAT?!? made Ten Best Pregnancy and Birth Blogs of 2010 on Babble.com! Yeah us! Yeah you!

We owe a big thanks to all the women (and a few men) who send in submissions (and come back and PINK THEIR LINK,) comment with gusto, and offer a show of support for those who were hurt or harmed by the insensitive words of professionals who care for birthing women.

Words matter, kindness cost nothing and women remember what was said to them for many, many years to come.

Looking forward to 2011 and open to your suggestions and comments for improving our blog.  Share them with us, if you get a chance.

Thanks for your support!
