Sue I know that this page is set up for birth practices, however, I have to share something that really has me concerned. School! Like the fact that the children aren't learning anytyhing and then they go to school to sit on the floor for 6 hours a day and play. Does anyone else have that at the schools their children g...o to? For the early years of their schooling up until 7 years of age! That's four years of school sitting on the floor. Unbelievable.

Christie Have you noticed anything like this?- the women that I know who planned on having a vbac but ended up with another csection, for whatever reason, they always say the same thing... they say that when their dr went in, the dr always says 'oh thank goodness because you were about to rupture, have a hole, have a thin spot,... etc'. Is this just dr's justifying the decision to the parents to have another section? Seems like the same ol' 'oh thank goodness we did the section because the cord is around the neck' justification. I keep hearing this over and over with friends who have the repeat sections.

The Unnecesarean Happy Thanksgiving to U.S. readers. To the rest of you, have a lovely Thursday.

Candace This is an amazing video of nature at its finest. An elephant births a baby with no interference, and it's quite something to see! (Don't worry, the baby will be all right... just watch to the end.)

Hi, Jill. I am asking for your support on our cause.
The rights of the birthing woman as a patient have long been ignored in Bulgarian hospitals by the medical personnel.The specific reason for the our protest today is the childbirth experience of a woman in „St. Sofia“ Hospital (former Tina Kirkova). After her legal r...efusal to sign the informed consent as presented the attitude of the staff towards her quickly became rude, threatening and coersive. Later on she was physically handled and restrained in the lithotomy position against her will and stitched without anaesthetic „as punishment“. Each of this actions in direct violation of her rights as a patient and her fundamental human rights.
In reality this is not an isolated case but has become a common practice in our birth hospitals.
Through your site I am asking for international support from all the goregous, strong women who visit your special place on the web.
Thank you!

Heather Barson I'm also a victim of Page Hospital's VBAC ban. On top of that, it's illegal for a midwife to attend a VBAC here. My only options for my next are unassisted birth, or surgery. In August I was bullied into an unnecesarean (even against the recommendation of my doctor).

Any
Midwives in Arizona, particular in Apache Junction or nearby? I have a
friend who wants to delivery, naturally, with a midwife. Her husband is
opposed to homebirth and so she wants to delivery in a birth center or
if she has too a hospital but with a midwife attending. She hasn't been
able to find a midwife who will bi...ll her insurance, as oppose to having to pay upfront. Please, any tips or advice you could give me so I can pass along to her. Or if you are midwife or know a midwife who might be willing to work with her, perhaps even meet with her and her husband, that would be GREAT!

The Unnecesarean Request for evidence and personal experience… A woman e-mailed on behalf of a friend who has a seizure disorder that began after a stroke a few years ago (caused by birth control). She is pregnant (not sure how far along) and was planning an unmedicated birth. Her doctor has informed her that they will be “taking the b...aby around 37 weeks by c-section.” [Continued in first comment...]
