Conversation Between VivaLasViejas and lamazeteacher

Hi, Lois.........The minimum length of nursing articles is 500 words; if your piece was too short it gets 'kicked back' for revision. Otherwise, I'm not sure why you couldn't post it. You may want to ask Siri, as she was probably the one who asked for the article.

Hope this helps!

Dear Marla:

I think it was you or Iris, who asked that I write an article, which I'm in the midst of doing (it started with the home birth thread). When I submited it a message stated that I'm not allowed to work on that page.

Here's some of what I have so far:

I would like to share events regarding the education of expectant parents. At no time in the past 3-4 generations, women in larger communities knew about education about birth.

It is impossible to measure data from different countries, without control studies. What was so in England in the '40s, when Dr. Grantly Dick Reed began Childbirth Education based on the fact that fear increases pain, was not the milieu elsewhere.

Dr. Portnuff in Montreal hired nurses to teach his patients and insisted that they attend.

In the '60s Dr. Lamaze's work with patients at his clinic in Paris, France started.

I'll finish and submit the article if that's appropriate. Please write a message in that regard.
