| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone this is Rebecca Decker here with a special bonus episode of the |
| 0:05.0 | Evidence Space Birth Podcast. I'm here today to talk to you with no music no |
| 0:10.1 | special guests but just here to talk to you about something really big that I've been working |
| 0:16.0 | on for more than a year. |
| 0:18.1 | I'm thrilled to let you know that I am writing a book. And today we are telling you when the book is coming out and |
| 0:25.8 | what the title of the book is. The book is called Babies Are Not Pizza's And it is coming out in August of 2019. This is a project I've been working on actually since the fall of 2017. I work on it all through 2018, made a big pivot at the end of 2018 in terms of what |
| 0:46.7 | the book was going to be like, and I'll talk more about that next week. |
| 0:51.2 | But I'm excited to announce that this week we are getting close to a final draft and it's |
| 0:56.7 | going to be sent in for copy editing and formatting soon. So we're anticipating releasing the book in August. Now the title Babies Are Not Pizzas. |
| 1:06.6 | How this came about is because I was always struck by how the language of childbirth contains |
| 1:12.0 | many paternalistic terms that indicate the power |
| 1:15.8 | differential between doctors and health care workers and pregnant families. |
| 1:21.1 | The physician quote delivers the baby or delivers the woman. |
| 1:24.7 | People are not allowed to eat or drink during labor. |
| 1:27.8 | Your labor failed to progress. |
| 1:29.5 | Your pelvis is insufficient or inadequate, and your baby is just too big. In this book we are going to |
| 1:35.8 | to debunk cultural myth that families are just the bystanders or the passive recipients of a baby. |
| 1:43.0 | Babies are born, they're not delivered. |
| 1:45.0 | This book is part of an overall larger strategy |
| 1:48.0 | that I've had in mind for many years now |
| 1:50.0 | about changing the culture of childbirth. |
| 1:53.0 | And so I hope you're super excited about the book coming out in August. |
