12 Citations I am having a Book Group meeting at Yogaworks Westside studio next Tuesday, March 24th on the topic of Birth Plans from 12:30-1:30pm. I am asking my students to read The Thinking Womans Guide to a Better Birth by Henci Goer. The meeting is free. A birth plan is something that mothers-to-be might want to start thinking about early on during pregnancy. It may feel counter-intuitive when your body is just getting adjusted to pregnancy, to think about the end of it. You may find that what is, technorati.com

1 Citation Time's come for me to write about the thing that still haunts my memories more than any other. Thing that brings me out in a cold sweat - or tears - to even remember it. Maybe by writing it I'm hoping to get it out of my system. Maybe I just finally feel I'm ready. Maybe it's the Fluoxetine . But anyhow, here goes. The birth of Bertrand Moss West. And where to begin? My memories of that day are of a mixture of things. Little pinhole cameras taking photos of time,, technorati.com

?The Doctors? TV - Fair and Balanced on ?The Alternative Birthing Debate? 1 Citation I just watched ?The Doctors? on birthing. They called the show ?The Alternative Birthing Debate?. I thought I?d live-semi-transcribe it for you. Some of this is quickly paraphrased, but the quoted material is not misquoted in ways (I hope) that misrepresent the speakers. Typos and grammos probably abound. I could have point-by-pointed it, but I thought it might be more fun to do this interactively. Your challenge, as the Hoydentariat, is to come up with more than a dozen things wrong with t, technorati.com

1 Citation Episiotomy ??.Why? For those of you who don?t really know the correct definition, an episiotomy is the cut performed on a woman?s perineum (the tissue between the vagina and the anus) to allow the baby?s head to emerge more quickly during pushing. If you know your anatomy, you also know that a baby whose head is already pushing on the mother?s soft tissues on the perineum, has cleared the bony pelvic passage, and is thus minutes away from being born. So why are women cut? To put it simply,, technorati.com

1 Citation I'm on a hot streak at work. Pathetically, a hot streak constitutes no more than 2 days in a row of healthy, happy deliveries. Brief though it might be, I can enjoy the good run while it lasts. On day one my patient and I pushed together for over two hours. After a few pushes on her back in modified lithotomy, I could tell we weren't getting anywhere. I brought in the squatting bar and helped her use it. Despite her being anesthetized and medicated with Magnesium Sulfate, she was pretty mobile, technorati.com

Pro-life nurse sued for removing IUD without patient?s consent 1 Citation Here is the court document, which is pretty short and to the point: a woman went into a facility to have an adjustment made to her IUD, and the nurse practitioner ?accidentally? pulled out the IUD.As that happened, Defendant Olona stated ?Uh oh, I accidentally pulled out your IUD. I gently tugged and out it came.? She then explained, ?I cut the string than went back and gently pulled and out it came. It must have not been in properly.? Olona then stated, ?having the IUD come out was a good thing, technorati.com

1 Citation The birth process has three stages. The exact mechanisms that signal the mother?s body that the baby is ready to be born are unknown. During the few weeks preceding delivery, the baby normally shifts and turns to a head-down position, and the cervix begins to dilate(open up). The junction of the pubic bones also loosens to permit expansion of the pelvic girdle during birth. In the first stage of labor, the amniotic sac breaks, causing a rush of fluid from the vagina(commonly referred to as ?br, technorati.com

1 Citation Episiotomy November 9th, 2008 Women have been giving birth since the dawn of time, and in all that time the childbirth process has engendered more than its share of discussion and debate. In recent years, much of the talk has centered on the use of episiotomies. It seems that every expert has a differing opinion on the subject and every opinion has its merits.

1 Citation The words "Natural Birth" alone make me want to run for the hills. It is not something I would ever in a million years want to attempt, hell, I don't even want to think about it.The epidural is my best friend. I don't think that makes me a pussy, it just means I don't want to push a huge mass of baby out of my snatch with no pain medication to help me along.I can vividly remember being pregnant and watching all the birthing shows on TV and literally not being able to make it through an episode w, technorati.com

Sawzalls Were Not Made for the Hoo-ha! 1 Citation I?ve written here about men who got their junk stuck in jars and people who have gotten produce stuck up their rumps. A year or so ago, a fire department had to rescue a poor fella who tried to screw a picnic table, and ladies regularly visit the emergency room with everything including the kitchen sink wedged into their poontangs. You would think I would be immune to hearing stories about the bizarre things people do to pleasure themselves. But just when I think I have heard it all?something li, technorati.com
