I know what you mean about the potential risks. I'm going to keep posts generic enough and I have put the disclaimer on each page (if that helps...). It just irks me that women are getting information about labor and delivery from television, birth story blogs or other questionable websites. I spend so much time in my classes trying to undo that bad information women have collected here in there. Thanks for your feedback. Sarah

Another red head OB nurse. I had two lady partsl deliveries, no excessive bleeding with either one. Infact, my second birth I didn't even have an IV! I have never had a redheaded PPH. I wonder if this old wives tale was started because of the rarity of redheads to begins with... I think only 2% of the population here in the US. My point is, you have a PPH, she happens to be a readhead, so you remember it. Kind of like throwing salt over your shoulder... nothing bad happens, so the salt worked! My mom is also a redhead, BTW. Two lady partsl births, no PPH. Sarah

So, I work nights L&D and teach childbirth classes, as well. I also have a couple of friends who are pregnant currently and I have no idea where they are getting some of their information! I started a blog a few days ago and would appreciate topic suggestions, etc.. Let me know what you all think! Thanks Sarah
