How much time do you spend with your OBGYN?
Don't worry, I'm not referring to getting coffee. What I mean is, when you go in for a visit, say your annual exam or for a specific reason--like you're pregnant--how much time does your OBGYN spend talking with you? Is it enough? I've read ...
Inducing for childcare?
With my first pregnancy, everything was done by the book. My OBGYNs were staunchly against inducing until a full two weeks after my due date. They were also against scheduling a C-section barring there was no medical reason to do so. In other ...

Did you take your prenatal vitamins--EVERY day???
Come on now, be honest. I really want to know. Doctors and OBGYNs and even ads in the subways are always strongly urging women to take prenatal vitamins EVERY day, before they get pregnant, while pregnant and afterwards if they're breastfeeding. For ...Doctors warn: freebirthing is dangerous
Freewheeling, freebasing -- these are terms I've heard of. Freebirthing? Not so much, until I came across this article warning women against freebirthing, a.k.a. birthing without the supervision of a doctor, midwife or doula. I had no idea modern ...
Fetal oxygen monitors found to be worthless
As nearly anyone who's gone through pregnancy can attest, it's long been common practice for doctors to use electronic fetal heart monitors to discern the health of babies while they're still in the womb. However, these monitors have proved to be ...
