   ParasMom replied to ParasMom's topic in General Nursing

   I have no qualms with midwives. A midwife delivered my birth child in 1999 (a completely "natural" birth since it was done in under 6 hours ... no one thougth that I would progress that quickly, but I did and the NMV delivered the baby after checkin...

2. How do you deal with anti-OB people?

   ParasMom replied to ParasMom's topic in General Nursing

   Point 1 --> I didn't coin "nature nazis" as it came from my OB/GYN and I used it for lack of a better phrase. I respect any birth plan that a woman makes -- be it at home or in a hospital. My problem is with those women who want to scare other wom...

   That summed up my entire post! Thank you so much ... you said it better than I did ... and in a much shorter form. Thank you again!

4. How do you deal with anti-OB people?

   ParasMom replied to ParasMom's topic in General Nursing

   That's it. I am a patient advocate 100%. If a woman brings in a birth plan that says that she is opting for a non-medicated birth, then I will respect that. If she shows interest in pain management, but I will respect that, too. I am having a problem...

   ParasMom replied to BBnurse34's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you so much for typing that! I get a lot of crap from pro-choice friends because I want to be a nurse but I am pro-life. The more I learn about human physiology, the more pro-life I become.

8. How do you deal with anti-OB people?

   ParasMom replied to ParasMom's topic in General Nursing

   I'm dealing with the breast issue right now. Granted, I nursed my daughter and we are still working on weaning (she's over a year old...). and I am a big advocate of breast feeding. However, there is a huge push to stop forumla companies from being a...

9. How do you deal with anti-OB people?

   ParasMom replied to ParasMom's topic in General Nursing

   I completely agree that each woman should be able to deliver as she sees fit. What I am talking about are those people who scare pregnant women into a "natural" child birth. For example: * Telling a woman that having an epidural will harm her child, ...

10. How do you deal with anti-OB people?

    ParasMom posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm half-way to obtaining my ADN and have recently discovered that there are people out there who are not only anti-OB/GYN but are against any medical interventions at all during pregnancy. I talked to my OB/GYN for over an hour last week about some ...

11. Adoption Issues

    ParasMom replied to Priddyeyez's topic in Ob/Gyn

    And you think that you deserve a child? You need anger management therapy first, in my opinion. I am so glad that you are not the poster child for adoptive parents in this country.

12. Adoption Issues

    ParasMom replied to Priddyeyez's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What on earth?!?! As a birthmother, I am floored at your post! My birthdaughter's adoptive parents were chosen by me and were even in the delivery room. I kept my birthdaughter in the room with me the ENTIRE time, and while it broke my heart to hand...
