  3. pushing with an epidural

    Mermaid4 replied to starry nights's topic in Ob/Gyn

  14. How to help new mother who is very detached from baby

    Mermaid4 replied to LauraLou's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Developmental issues may be a factor, but the situation as described does merit some further observation and intervention. A social service consult is an excellent idea but in the past, when...

    Mermaid4 replied to lady_jezebel's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi there and best of luck in your new endeavor! I love cytotec and have no problems of the nature you describe with either cytotec or cervidil...Cytotec was discovered serendipitiously to be a good...
