Two years ago yesterday, I transitioned from my old URL on Blogger to this space, with a new title and a stronger sense of what I wanted to do online. I’ve written over 230 posts here and met a lot of wonderful folks through their comments and links to their own online spaces.
Here’s a graphic representations of what I’ve been talking about all this time:
Thanks for reading! I like being here, talking with all of you.
Welcome to First the Egg, a collection of practical information, links, and cultural criticism. This site is a feminist intervention in our rigidly-gendered culture of childbirth and parenting. It aims to provide a nonsexist space for people who want to learn, reflect, commiserate, or laugh about being pregnant, giving birth, and helping children grow up whole and happy.

Happy blogaversary! I’ve been going through my drafts folder deciding what to keep working on/publish and what to give up on and I have one that starts with something like “Feminist Childbirth Studies has a new name…” Who knew I’d been sitting on it for TWO YEARS now?! It was a collection of links about birth and feminism that needs some connecting ideas before I can publish it.
