I had a great holiday, and I hope that you did, as well. ;)<BR/><BR/>mamadoc~ Actually, he didn't decide until Christmas Eve. (I did get to spend Christmas Day with my family). I agree with your assessment, though. :)<BR/><BR/>gingerb~ Yes, in some ways it is much busier between Christmas and New Year's, as people strive to get that "little tax deduction" delivered. As a resident (pre kids) I always picked to work over Christmas week as opposed to New Year's week because, as a rule, it was much less busy.<BR/><BR/>Susan~ Hello, welcome, and thank you for the very kind words about the blog! I have had quite a few still births over the years. I have been fortunate not to have too many in the last few years. <BR/><BR/>I don't believe that our hospital statistics are any better or any worse than any where else, but we don't do a lot of high risk deliveries, so that may have something to do with it. No reason in particular that I haven't blogged about them, just haven't had anything I've wanted to say on that particular subject, yet. Thanks for reading! :)dr. whoo?https://www.blogger.com/profile/10315615480530297472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-72972313969228092892009-01-08T20:08:00.000-05:002009-01-08T20:08:00.000-05:00I just finished reading through your entire blog o...I just finished reading through your entire blog over the past couple of days and it's been incredibly fascinating to me. I am a tax lawyer who always wanted to be an OB/GYN (but esp. after I gave birth to my daughters) but I get to live vicariously through your experiences. One question I have is that I've read other doctors' and midwives' blogs before (none written as well as yours - you are very good at letting your voice and emotions shine through), but they all seem to deliver stillborn babies pretty frequently. Does your hospital have a lower rate of stillborn births or do you simply choose not to blog about these tragedies?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02078003603268858245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-41331995511399467262009-01-01T15:39:00.000-05:002009-01-01T15:39:00.000-05:00I have four relatives with birthdays on Jan 7.

I've always wondered if there is something magical about that day for women pregnant over the holidays.<BR/><BR/>Overall I think it's a better deal to have a birthday right after Christmas than right before. People unwind after the holiday and you can always hint hard about what you didn't get for Christmas that you really want for your birthday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31146535.post-53559845869424991642008-12-24T18:22:00.000-05:002008-12-24T18:22:00.000-05:00Just wanted to thank you for e-mail response a few...Just wanted to thank you for e-mail response a few weeks ago.

I am 38 weeks pregnant and have had braxton-hicks for the past week. I am hoping to not go into labor until after Christmas so I can spend the last moments of my daughter being the one & only. Have a good holiday and I hope your plans don't get wrinkled too badly.Shawneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05078899556763453729noreply@blogger.com
