It seems like everytime I turn my head, I see something with a card slot or USB jack, haha. I <i>guess</i> it makes sense though, considering how much cheaper memory has become lately...<br><br>Gahhhh, I shouldn't be moaning and groaning.

There is a difference between being educated by a hospital birth class and an obstetrician and reading What to Expect When You are Expecting....and reading Henci Goer or Suzanne Arms and taking a Bradley or Birthing From Within class. Both sets of women are hyper-educated about birth and the process. However, the bias in their education leads them in different directions. What I wonder, though, is why the folks with the fancy resumes who choose their c-sections haven't stumbled upon things like the British Medical Journal's study that says home birth is safer than hospital births for American women....or The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth? I think it's culture, but I haven't yet figured out how or why or how a movement might help women be more fully informed of all of the perspectives before making their choices.PNW Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09163862497864591728noreply@blogger.com
