		<description>[...] There is data to show that doulas are effective. Women cared for during labor by a birth doula, compared to those receiving usual care were 26% less likely to give birth by cesarean section 41% less likely to give birth with a vacuum extractor or forceps 28% less likely to use any analgesia or anesthesia 33% less likely to be dissatisfied or negatively rate their birth experience (Hodnett E, Gates S, Hofmeyr G, Sakala C. Continuous support for women during childbirth. The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2003. Issue 3, via DONA, taken from Birth Faith) [...]</description>

		<description>I am at present working on project for the purpose of my computer class, we have been beginning to learn some html coding along with basic web design.  I&#039;ve got to build  a blog website, had been thinking of using wordpress as the system it appears to be the most used.  Your entire weblog generally seems to having a customized design and some additional html coding did you complete the work yourself or maybe retain the services of a developer? Is extremely good general web design appears quite easy to use!  Regardless I might use your actual web site like a reference, of course not duplicate it as this is certainly in opposition to our class protocols and the law I do believe!</description>
