Comment on The Obstetrician, The Midwife, The Nurse & The Doula by Kelly

Thank you for explaining the differences, but I was wondering in order for a midwife to deliver in a hospital does she have to be a Certified Nurse Midwife? Also I know that LM have almost the same amount of intensive training as a CNM but usually they are not permitted to work in a hospital setting, is this true, and if so what do you believe the future will hold for the Midwives. I personally hope that they will be able to have there own profession and be regarded as a honorable source.

Comment on Sex, Lies and the Postpartum Year by Erynn Schwellinger

I’m starting to wonder, at 4 month where it still hurts and I still have trouble with sex that something isn’t wrong with me. For someone living in the USA without insurance for me (baby has it), it’s pretty terrifying. It’s releaving to know that ‘six weeks’ is unrealistic, and even 4 months unsurprising.

This is a great article. It is one of the more unbiased one’s I have found in my search for information. I have a question for anyone who might be able to help me- I’m getting a little desperate.With my first kid I waited until 42 wks 4 days before being induced- I had dilated to 3 cm, anterior, effaced cervix for wks, but never went into active labor. My son almost died, he was pretty big by that point and I happen to have a narrow pelvis. He made it through, but not without a 2 for a five minute apgar and a stint in the NICU. With my second I waited ten days before being induced- again 3-4 cm, anterior, effaced no active labor insight. This induction went smoother, though my second was about the same size as my first. My OB says my babies’ heads don’t enter my pelvis until pushing phase is well underway… and here is where my question is: I am now 38wks6days with my third, and I am trying to figure out if there is a reason(s) that I do not go into labor. I don’t think the whole “my body isn’t ready”, “the baby isn’t ready”, stuff applies to my situation. Both of my kids, especially my first, showed signs of post maturity, and my body sailed through pre-labor. This little one even seems to be in a favorable position most of the time (she wiggles between facing my left hip and my spine). I would really like to avoid induction, and I’m not finding many answers besides “some people gestate longer”, and “baby isn’t ready”. I am beginning to wonder if I am just one of those people for whom medical induction is intended, but I am kind of hoping not. Thoughts anyone? I just don’t know what to do.

I see you interchangeably use cottonwood bark and cotton root bark, and I really want to make sure that they are NOT the same plant and could cause serious issues if you’re not using the right plant (I don’t know enough to tell you extensively the distinctions, but I do STRONGLY encourage you learn more before making many more recommendations). This is one of the reasons I love latin names so much; really eliminates room for error.

Comment on Happy Pills: Preventing the Baby Blues Naturally? by RPPT

RPPT — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 07:56:22 +0000

Hi am currently pregnant with baby number two. I would like more information and benefits and where I can get these placenta pills for postpartum. I experienced something between the baby blues and PPD. I believe that the stress of moving and finding a job for my husband to transfer caused a lot of the stress and emotional roller coaster. We are now happily settled with family around so it may not even come up this time. But I would like to be prepared if it does. Thank you.
