It's a statement about outlawing abortion - in effect she's saying that if the Republicans have their way, this is what American women will be facing. And that is a BAD thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-1160003743654013892006-10-04T19:15:00.000-04:002006-10-04T19:15:00.000-04:00jawndoejah (interesting name!)~ Hi and welcome! I...jawndoejah (interesting name!)~ Hi and welcome! I think it is a great tribute to your OB/GYN that you think so highly of her. We do get to play such a role in a woman's life. It is a privilege. I'm sure that you would find a mix of patient's feelings about their OB docs, just as with all people. There are some with whom you just "click." Thanks for reading! :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Liana~ Thanks for the compliments! It's funny, the responses I get here, because where I practice, if patients don't deliver by 5 pm they invariably get sectioned. I am the odd one out with respect to waiting on labor to happen! Good luck with your residency, don't work too hard! I don't mind you linking the site at all, and I promise to check your blog out once the baby boom abates.<BR/><BR/>medstudentitis~ Yes, every day, on call, unless I was taking scheduled vacation time away. When I first started, my patient load was very low, and I rarely got called, much less did I have to go in to the hospital. Contrast that with now, where 2 of the last 3 nights I've been stuck in the hospital well into the evening. Sucks.<BR/> <BR/>atyourcervix~ Hello! Yup, it is crazy here, as well. The weekend itself was ok, but the week (so far) has been out of control. Gotta love the full moon. Ack, tagged! I'll get to it, promise, but maybe not until the weekend?<BR/><BR/>justbeing~ I have yet to check the link. I assume it has something to do with pregnancy termination, though. I may expound upon this another day.

A mentor of mine told me that when she was in practice in British Columbia she was on call 1/3 all the time and I thought that was rough! <BR/><BR/>I wish my mother had had another babe after me and I'd been allowed to watch. I think I was the only one who enjoyed watching the birth video in grade 10 biology. <BR/><BR/>I think it's great that you allowed that mom to try delivering vaginally for so long, many people think that their OB has made a judgement before hand and never gives them a chance for a vaginal delivery. I think it makes people feel cheated in some ways. I know that there are situations where an attempt at a vaginal delivery just isn't possible to maintain the health of the baby, but I think giving most people the benefit of an attempt is great!medstudentitishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09740144837675438466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-1159717515667100632006-10-01T11:45:00.000-04:002006-10-01T11:45:00.000-04:00Dr. Whoo, in my humble first year family med resid...Dr. Whoo, in my humble first year family med resident's opinion, I agree with your approach to a trial of labour.<BR/><BR/>I also really like your blog (stumbled here via Fat Doctor) and would like to link to your site, if that's okay. <BR/><BR/>Look forward to reading more!Lianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13354145408658237195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-1159694810405154662006-10-01T05:26:00.000-04:002006-10-01T05:26:00.000-04:00It is good to read an ob's perspective.

Needless to say, I can easily feel I know a lot about childbirth, but in reality I only know what I have read and what I experienced from my own body. I don't know when I'm truly supposed to be worried with heart rates and meconium and the like. (I have had mec for all 5 deliveries...sorry to my ob and the nurses). I enjoy reading your thoughts and your experience. I adore my ob but try to not be too "star struck" with her. I actually feel she could be a friend if it were possible, but I respect her professional distance. Reading your blog allows me to remember that she has much on her mind, and though she is good at making me feel like I'm her "most important" patient, reality is she has many people to deal with and a real life besides. Maybe now I can quit wishing I had an excuse to see her! In reality, I think I just associate her with the most important moments in my life besides my wedding, and those intimate birth moments and vulnerable times of miscarriage cause me to feel closer to her than I should. Probably the Florance Nightingale syndrome, only not in a romance sort of way. Wonder if anyone has done any studies about how patients feel about their ob's?Jawndoejahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335811975587549394noreply@blogger.com
