Hi mamas!<br><br>
I am trying to get a feel for the area ( am a Carolina girl south not north but all Carolina is my home!). I won't be moving to the area until summer 2012 if all goes as plans BUT I am about to start by childbirth educator training. If I was staying in this area of WA I know exactly which certifier I would go through but I am not as certain when it comes to the Triangle area. What is the birthing community at large like? Is homebirth and/or natural birth (even in a hospital setting) common or are the majority medicated hospital births? Is the community open to alternative birthing options?<br><br>
What about the schools? For some of my children we are looking at the Jordan Lake Sudbury but I have a few kids who love and thrive in the public school so know they would prefer to stick to traditional education. Would love to hear more about the schools and community at large as we prepare for our move <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile">
