  • Transverse twice?

    I have a friend that is 36 weeks with her second child and yesterday was told she would have to schedule a c-section due to this baby being transverse.

  • Re: video of a FL. doc on vbac

    HMMM, ZoeysMom, really the Midwife said that to you? When I look around my BF support group, I have a very hard time believing that only one in three ~could~ deliver vaginally.

  • Re: Dear Pres. Obama---want to save millions in obstetrics?

    I'm a bit wary of "midwifery model of care" these days because it can mean midwives getting absorbed by the medical system and practising exactly the same way as the drs. I would like to see registered midwives in my province (BC, Canada) doing my four suggestions above. Unfortunately,...

  • Dear Pres. Obama---want to save millions in obstetrics?

    February 11, 2009 Ways to save millions of tax dollars in obstetrics Seeing that there is a world wide quest for governments to save money right now, I am putting my mind to ways that I would cut waste if I were in charge of the medical budget.
