3) Nothing in life is without risk. Getting pregnant entails risk. Avoiding pregnancy entails risk. Driving a car and walking across the street entail risk. Like it or not, every medical procedure...
I agree. How 'bout the married woman whose spouse cheats on her? Or the woman whose had an STD since high school? No correlation to risky behavior there. I am assuming ALL pts, not just OB get drug...
Thanks again for the advice. Actually, I saw my OB thurs and he said even if my placenta doesn't move at all, its not dangerous enough to warrant scheduling a c/s. He said we'll let you go into labor...
Hope you won't mind me asking this, complete opinion Q. If I end up needing a c-section ( I am 28 weeks, placenta as of today is still low-lying) which I know my drs aren't sure of yet, what would you...
U/s tech said it wasn't previa, just low-lying. I don't completely understand the difference, and I tend not to trust what I read online ( not here, just in general) but, I have my OB app't Thursday,...

Hmmm very interesting thread. I guess there's no easy answer here. My ds had it done, 3yrs ago now. I was very reluctant, but in the end DH 'won' that argument. DS had anesthesia and pain relief...
Visualization doesn't sound weird at all My DH will be there regardless, but if I know I will need a c/s, the grandmothers have already said they'd come before hand to watch my other 2. I am hoping...
Hmmm, this is a very intersting disscussion. My thoughts as a mere 2x pt are as follows; I think there are perhaps some uneccessary procedures pushed on pts, I also think unfortunately a lot of anti...
THis is a little OT, but where CAN just a regular mom like myself find those magic pacifiers? I am absolutely going to try the swaddling thing too. I tried w/ my 2nd, a very coliky ds, but the...
Right now, I'm thinkin three is enough...but that's just b/c I sit here 26 weeks pg w/ my third w/ an aching back, sore hips and an in the way belly:lol2: Seriously, I agree that what ever you can...
I think babies play a big role too. My first, my dd, was so easy to nurse, I thought people were nuts for having all those 'problems'. Enter child #2, my DS. He was just harder, i think he never...

Superfly, I totally get this, which is why I said, in my pp I know they are just doing what is necessary! I never thought for one minute it was just to annoy me I am just saying, its silly of any pts...

Mom get Sleep? In a L/D unit? Are you kidding? it wasn't my babies who kept me up in the hospital, it was the nurses ( I know, I know, its their job, not saying they were doing anything wrong, don't...
...my drs are already talking about giving me the option of induction at 38 1/2 weeks if my cervix is ripe. I am only 14 weeks pg!! This will be my 3rd child.I told them I am really not interested, I...
Hello there: I am a pre-nursing student who has been working in medical genetics for the last 6 yrs. I have worked in prenatal testing, reading mostly amnios but also some FISH testing and...
It doesn't sound like you & your doc are on the same page. I personally would not be comfortable staying with a doc who responded to my concerns in the way yours did to you. Clearly you're a...

OK, here's one from a pt...when I had my 1st child, a resident came in and asked if a Dr had recently checked my cervix. The wonderful nurse who was assigned to my care, and was standing right next to...
Hi there! I have a quick question. Do broken collar bones usually result from a too big baby in a smallish mom? If this is too much of a med. question, could anyone direct me in where to find...
".............someone actually once asked me if my husband (who has a M-F existance) got a babysitter on weekends I worked so he could "relax and enjoy his weekend" This happens to me too! I work...
I personally would never have an elective c-section, I just don't see the point. I really don't get the 'vanity' thing either, unless I guess you're a Playboy model and need your, ahem, assets...
I was 24 w/ DD, 29 W/ ds and I'll be 32 w/ #3 ( I'm due in July :) I think being a young mommy has been great. I was finished w/ school and married and it helped, though we certainly have less...

Ummm, who are you directing this to? I certainly hope not me. I am not even in school, let alone 'putting my child-related woes and concerns on my childfree coworkers.' the quote you responded to was...
