I had a Sonotrax, didn't care for the quality (esp the sound) compared to the other brands I had used, and it is made in China.  I really like my Huntleigh (made in UK)... bought it used in 2008 and it still works although I just bought a DigiDop (made in USA) on sale to try out.  I like the Nicolet Elite (made in USA) okay but not ...

I am so very sorry to hear this... :(

I am doing distance learning (without on site), but I do apprentice with a midwife two hours away.  Because of all the driving, any prenatal day is at a bare minimum 5.5 hours long but most are closer to 12 hours long.  I tend to be gone at appts two days a week plus births. It IS hard, and I really could not do this without my ...

My preceptor told me she had to suture a vulval varicosity that burst during a birth, so that is a concern.  She told me that if the varicose veins appear above the pelvis that she immediately refers out because it can be a sign of a heart condition.  Herbal supplements and support stockings that are put on before getting out of the bed ...

[quote user="MotherNurtured"] I am studying through AAMI and apprenticing simultaneously.... I am VERY happy with this path.  [/quote] Well...

[quote user="dancindoula"] Slightly off-topic, but I remember someone posting on the old MT boards about a healthy full-term baby being born holding his mama's IUD in his little fist.  Guess he had a toy to keep him occupied!  Here's hoping yours is either or that there is a good and happy reason it's ...

We use Zicam a lot here at our house, I'll have to go check out the FDA website (though I'm not a fan of them).

I enrolled a year and a half ago, I finished the Orientation phase and have only made one submission other than that so far.  I think it's a good education for a great price... If I was enrolling now, I would be going with NCM just because it's a MEAC-accredited school and not a lot more money.  Many states who are legalizing ...

just outside my mom's goat barn.  ;)  Two adorable little doelings, both born breech.  My mom helped the first one out and I helped the second one out (after seeing how stunned and wet sounding the first one was, I didn't let the second one sit there quite as long).  Really cute and my three children are totally in love ...
