A friend and I were talking about feminism and feeling hopeless about how much there is to be frustrated about. We had an idea to pick one concrete thing and actually try to move the needle on it, like a law that needs changing or a policy that deserves more attention. Maybe there's a petition, letter-writing campaign, advocacy effort, or something else that could be tackled by regular people with jobs and responsibilities. If you have knowledge about Canadian law/policy, advocacy, or know of a group in Halifax that could use more support, please share.

There are many pressing issues in Nova Scotia that need attention. Starting a community group could be a great way to mobilize people and make a positive impact. The group could be open to anyone in the province, or limited to women, depending on the preference. Before making any decisions, it's essential to consider the legal implications and seek advice from experts.

The Stop the Spraying group in Halifax is doing important work to raise awareness about glyphosate spraying. This practice is used in many places, including California and western Canada, and has been linked to major fires and groundwater contamination. It's crucial that we support this group and advocate for safer alternatives.

One major concern is the lack of effective pain management during labor, particularly for women experiencing back labor. In my case, I was given Tylenol and a small amount of morphine, but it was the warm bath that provided the most relief. Unfortunately, I've heard that the hospital tubs are often not cleaned properly and hot water may not be available.

My nurse claimed to have asked the doctor for an epidural top-up, but I'm not convinced she followed through. I had to endure intense pain and discomfort during delivery, and it wasn't until the doctor manually removed the placenta that they finally administered the epidural.

My hospital experience was a success thanks to the hot shower, which allowed me to labor naturally. I refused induction and gave birth at 42 weeks, which was a challenging but empowering experience. There's a need for more education and support for women during this stage of life, rather than just relying on medication.
