C-section or VBAC?
by
Nurse Lochia ..
So ever since the day we decided we wanted to have another baby, I've been thinking about how I want to deliver number 3. Let me go back... In 2003, i delivered a healthy baby, vaginally, no complications and no 'help' ie pitocin, AROM, forceps, etc. But, oh I did love that epidural. So number 2 is close to being due. I figured, well, I had a pret ...

Regarding skin to skin contact after a c-section: it can be done. You need to make your desire for skin to skin contact known before you have a c-sect ...

by
Nurse Lochia ..

I've been doing a lot of cruising around on-line and ...

by
Jennifer

Health insurance becomes a necessity when you have a chronic illness, a horrible accident or you need to give birth.

Are you ready for a C-section?
by
Nurse Lochia ..
Man, can I go one Monday night without starting out in the c-section room? Seriously, 4 out of the last 5 Monday nights, I go in, take a patient that I looks to deliver vaginally overnight, only to find out that they are heading back to the OR. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with c-sections. Remember, I had 2. It just seems that it' ...

Carrying Twins: The First C-Section (reprint)
by
Sharon LaMothe
I hate to say it but I feel pretty well qualified to bore you to death on the subject of carrying twins. Having carried 2 sets of twins and giving birth to them consecutively in 2000 and 2005, I never thought that I would be sitting here today reliving each and every painful memory of the 34 1/2 weeks and 37 weeks of pregnancy. (how many years ...
