Many of us are living with “stay at home” orders from our government officials. Any creative ideas for activities that could have help family members bond together?
Any thoughts about how to interact with kids who are accustomed to spending the day at school with their friends and who are now bored and irritated?

This is the first and only book about labor and natural birth that is based on facts. Can you explain what the book is about?
What are the current rates for Cesarean sections in the U.S. today and why is this a big deal?
You have seen first hand and also believe the actual curriculums at medical schools must be changed so that more women can give birth naturally, if they desire, and also so that it is more accepted on all levels of the medical community to embrace a natural child birth when appropriate. Can you expand on this?
Your book is fascinating and I see you don't just lay out the facts of how women in labor are treated in the U.S. today, but you also offer options and solutions for doctors, nurses and women to consider. Can you name a few here?
"Natural Labor and Birth" is written for both women who are expecting or planning to get pregnant and the medical community. It's a great crossover book. Tell our listeners where to purchase this book?
Dr. Aristizabal, is there a tip you can offer our listeners if they are pregnant and wishing to have a natural labor and delivery?
