About Brenda Lane
I have been a childbirth educator for over 20 years and a birth doula for 16 years. I have been the Feature Writer for Pregnancy and Childbirth on Suite101.com for 6 years and wrote the Knack Pregnancy Guide (Globe Pequot Press) in 2009. I have a keen interest in all aspects of healthy living including exercise, eating well and use of appropriate supplements or herbs when needed. I am also a devoted wife for 27 years and mother to two daughters in their 20's. My daily hope and joy come from a saving faith in Jesus Christ.Posts by Brenda Lane
