I'll admit that I've put my email out there on several websites for potential clients to contact me, and I've gotten my fair share of offers to assist in international funds transfers in response. But recently I've gotten strange emails from supposed husbands requesting my services. One was very controlling in his verbiage and thankfully didn't respond back to my questioning of his assertions. The one yesterday has me more concerned. It had lots of different...
I have a good friend moving to AL in the Prattville/Montgomery or Enterprise area. Any recommendations for providers that are mother and baby friendly would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Robyn
We'll be in Nags Head, NC. Any good activity or restaurant recommendations?
I'll be traveling for work with my family to the outerbanks area of NC. Any recommendations of things to do with little ones (8mo, 2yr, 5yr) would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Just curious what other birth professionals have seen. How long have you seen a pregnant mom go with bulging membranes with no labor? Currently I'm 40wks5d, I've been 3cm and over 50% effaced for 3 weeks, and water bulging for the past week (third pregnancy). Really didn't think I'd still be pregnant this week.

We ended up talking a lot about postpartum and breastfeeding while the pit and epi ran it's course. Both births went ok and both babies did well bfing too. It's not what I would want, but it's not about me. There's still a lot that can be done during a managed birth that can't necessarily happen during a...

You can refuse a lot of those policies, but if you are one of the first - it will be difficult. You can start by writing a birth plan and having your ob and the head nurse at the LD ward sign off on it. I also recommend you head over to the Finding your Tribe section for your area and ask for recommendations for your situation. The issue you could easily run into though is that the dr signs off, but then at delivery starts giving you scare tactics about your labor...
First pg - 24 hrs before labor started Second pg - repeatedly from week or more out I started dilating around 38.5 wks so the plug came out - but kept regenerating so from then until she was born at 40 wks 1 day there were plug pieces Didn't answer the poll though since I couldn't select both
