   birthjunkie replied to birthjunkie's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm not affiliated with that site, I just picked the name cuz I am fascinated with the birth process, pregnancy and everything that goes with it. 2 of my children were born in a hospital, 1 in my van. All is fine. I want to be a doula. I wanted ...

   birthjunkie replied to birthjunkie's topic in Ob/Gyn

   No no no!! I do not IN ANY WAY feel that she did anything wrong! I mean, it wasn't the smartest thing to do I suppose but the notion of a lawyer is simply RIDICULOUS to me! I am quite grateful that I didn't give birth in a hospital. I'm sorry my ...

   birthjunkie replied to finallyRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hi all, I have lurked here for a while but this is my first post. I must say this topic is why my last baby was born unassisted in the front seat of my van. I was sent home from the hospital at 4 cm dilated. My contractions weren't "good enough" ...
