Blade called me tonight during his commute home to tell me that the Ron Reagan Show was doing a bit on cesareans. So I tune in via the internet feed, and listen to interesting conversation,pondering trying to call in but I can't find a number... and then the next caller was my hubby, singing the praises of midwives, and the social model of birth, and so forth. I was so proud of him!

He called me after and said he'd had to pull over so he could call, because he thought it was so important a view to present. Go Blade!

Oh yeah, my mother can go on for hours about when she (a CNM) had to be the supervisor for the ObGyn residents for dartmouth university. The number of times she had to slap their hands.... she even told me she took their scissors away for being snip happy.

also did you know there is now a category of preemie which is directly related to the c-section happy doctors we have? i cant remember the proper name for it but it's basically a kid grabbed early because the doctor had the dates wrong and went for a c-section because to their math the mother was overdue.
