BirthGirlz wonder if MANA would create a survey on Complications Related to *Hospital* Delivery in response to this: http://www.acog.org/survey/hdComplications.cfm

www.acog.org
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is concerned that recent increases in elective home delivery will result in an increased complication and morbidity rate. Recent reports to the office ...

Well, Christina, Did you see our survey? Coincidentally, we are looking at hospital birth experience. Post yours and pass it on!

HAHA! At least we know they noticed us! Shame on them for doing something so blatantly one sided! Just goes to prove what Marsden Wagner says...doctors are not scientists.

BirthGirlz Tell ACOG your birth story! ACOG has a new database to collect anonymous data on "unsuccessful home births.” Let's derail their plans and flood the database with entries on SUCCESSFUL home births!
It will take less than five minutes, but having even 25 people do it will send a loud and clear message and may force them ...to take it down due to bad data. At the very least. http://www.acog.org/survey/hdComplications.cfm

BirthGirlz Giving birth in shackles? This has caused quite a stir in our Miami group. What do BirthGirlz nationwide think?

www.msnbc.msn.com
At state prisons around the country, jailed women are routinely shackled during childbirth, often by correctional staff without medical training, according to civil rights organizations and prisoner advocates.

Don't you think, if they were given love and support at this time then they and their baby will have a better chance at life. I will be checking this policy out in Australia, and following suit if we do the same.

Great post! I've wondered the exact same thing in reference to Aaron on Lost. And when Locke built the cradle for him, I was like, "Really? She'd get a lot more use out of a sling!"
