Yeah, great way to leave a positive image about birth, right? <br /><br />It wasn't until I started researching birth as a graduate student that I figured out why her crotch was orange. Betadine. <br /><br />I used contraction master during my last labor. I was on the laptop anyway for a lot of it (great way to distract myself as much as possible) and used it on and off for fun.Rixahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908864785513937876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-31184077109740012302009-09-10T00:11:40.226-04:002009-09-10T00:11:40.226-04:00Ugh, even more emphasis on the utterly unscientifi...Ugh, even more emphasis on the utterly unscientific "due date"?

"for induction". I ...VERY favorable . . . "for induction". I just love how much that reveals about their mindset and the assumptions therein. Not "very favorable" to go ahead and keep preparing and progressing normally towards labor as your body is *ahem* OBVIOUSLY ALREADY DOING, but favorable for induction.<br /><br />And if you click on the link for the Labor Pro, I love how they keep referring to the electrodes as "non-invasive". HUH? I think clips on your cervix and screws in your baby's skull are the very DEFINITION of invasive. What world are they living in??Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019907275666753543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741036541041672560.post-73204589276796464512009-09-09T17:19:35.073-04:002009-09-09T17:19:35.073-04:00Bishops Score 9 = VERY favorable?

Clipping things to her cervix? Uggh.<br /><br />Contraction Master is good. I want an iPhone just to get that app.Enjoy Birthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13227246774801636777noreply@blogger.com
