Re: OT: The Babies Are Here - Congrats Tiffany!

Good thing John Edwards and his staff wasn't there....

" Mr. Edwards's colleagues in the plaintiffs' bar do not

accept that analysis. " You find me a low C-section rate, " said Daniel

B. Cullan, a doctor, lawyer and co-chairman of the trial lawyer

association's birth trauma group, " and I'll show you children in wheelchairs. "

I was just reading the birth story at the site. Baby B a breech and

the work to keep her positioned.

Thanks for letting us know Chris!!

Hi All!

First time at the computer. Thanks so much to everyone who sent their prayers

and well wishes. As you may know, Rayna had to stay in the Neonatal ICU an

extra week so the doctors could keep close tabs on her apnea. She was released

yesterday, so the four of us (Rayna, Virginia, my Mom and I) are finally home.

Whew!

As for our encounter with the medical staff's opposition to vaginal births...I

can only say we were shocked and appalled. I joked with Mom that the situation

is reminiscent of the book " Brave New World " ...lol. But, really...it's no

laughing matter when insurance companies aim to make vaginal birth obsolete, and

Similac's Sales Reps have recruited every nurse on staff as a Pusher.

I hope to have my next child in the privacy of my home. And it's so much fun, I

hope I'll have lots of them! And hey, maybe one or two will grow up to be

Obstetricians!
