google threw nothing up does anyone know anything, my doc mentioned he'd do a few blood tests if nothing changes, muttering about something that can happen after a baby, any ideas? ----------- Anne Rogers

an odd question I know, and probably only applies to if you've had one by c-section and anymore have to be too (for whatever reason), but is there anyone out there who got pregnant knowing they had to have a c-section, but not having had one before. I'm asking because this could be something I...

http://nhsblogdoc.blogspot.com/2006/06/british-midwives-want-moth_114980675263120531.html rather controversial, doctor wants to get rid of midwives! I stumbled across it because I found one reference to Queen Victoria having delivered her last 2 children by c-section, but I can find no evidence...

may seem a very odd question, but the situation in the UK is you might have a choice of which surgery you register at, but then you just get the doctor you are given. I've been lucky in that the doctor I've had since I was 18 has been excellent. We will be in Seattle for a week in early August...

We've been watching Nathanael closely for a while, because of his poor weight gain/weight loss. Today we took him into the doctors for the final weight check before we do more checks, he had lost weight so we have to go get him checked out further. He quite clearly does not eat enough, so it...

This morning we met with the obsetrician and midwifery manager to discuss our complaint. It was emotional for me, but I was able to remain in control and though it was painful, the expression of those emotions did not adversely affect how the meeting progressed. In the initial response to our...

just wondering if anyone has any thoughts, we happened to conceive our first two in the first cycle of trying, previous to the first attempt, I was not sexually active (we conceived a month after getting married), so not using birth control, 2nd time I stopped the mini pill about 3 weeks before...

I think we really are done breastfeeding, DD just has no interest whatsoever, I feel sad about this, I respect that emotionally she is in that place, but I know she hasn't read the books, or the research and I'm convinced it would have been better for both of us if we'd nursed another 6 months...

I waited about 3 weeks after the last feed before posting that post, as I continued to offer for a while and was only then I was convinced it wasn't going to happen, but, today I had a bath with the kids, I was just investigating to see if I still had milk and she saw and climbed over and had a...

I got a mirena mid November 2005, seemed to have a fairly normal insertion, followed by a bit of cramping and then spotting on and off for around 10 weeks (I was told up to 6 months). Since then, seems to have been fine, until the last week or so when I've been experiencing things that are...

As I mentioned a while back DH has got a job in Seattle, so we'll be moving in the Autumn, this means that the way things are it will likely for me to be difficult to work because I would need to get a visa in my own right, so I'm wondering about at some point doing some studying, a student visa...

DH finally found out he didn't get the job, he didn't seem too upset and I'm quite relieved, I think we both feel we're not quite ready for such a big move. The person he was in contact with had put some odd wording in her email, which makes him think that he was a near miss and that there may...

well she last posted on Friday, dare we hope it has happened? wherever she is and whatever she is doing., good luck to her! Anne

aka erythrocyte sedimedtaion rate I had this test about 3 weeks before Ada was born, but I did not get the result, nor did they apparently get sent to anyone, of if they did, everyone though someone else was dealing with it. The result has just been unearthed from my medical notes and has been...

this women was newly pregnant when brutally stabbed, she was left paralysed and has only just left hospital, she is being helped to breastfeed,...

turned up to get it fitted and there had been a clerical error, the doctor was all ready to do it, but the nurses appointment list said implant and she had got all the wrong stuff ready and they didn't have the right stuff sterilised, fortunatly they were able to fit me in at the end of...

does anyone know of any website which good pictures of posterior and anterior babies? so far I've only found a picture of a posterior one and if I add picture to my google search, I'm finding links to breastfeeding positioning stuff! Anne

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,1723773,00.html .... I was fairly shocked, but equally there is a grain of truth, because of NICE guidelines you have to fit a mould, most people are shocked that I was refused a c-section, I suspect the true reasons have something in common with...

http://www.nice.org.uk/page.aspx?o=17330 After reading the article I posted yesterday I was moved to go and look at some of the nice guidelines, I went for induction of labour, for patients etc. I've hardly had to read at all to come across what I think are blatent falsehoods. Under if your...

Don't know if there is anyone out there, but this is just a quick note to say we're scheduled for a c-section at 9am tomorrow morning. Eventually we consulted with an ob, who talked to many other people, pretty much all recommended c-section, our own thoughts were also drifting in that...
