I so enjoyed the VBAC Class last Friday and hope those who attended did too. A special thanks to those who drove over an hour to come. While scheduled to be an hour, my presentation ended up being 2.5 hours! After cutting it down for a couple weeks, I couldn’t cut any more. I apologize [...]

First, an apology. I have been greatly neglecting the site and I’m sorry. Unfortunately, my son has been an keyboard pounder for the past few months and a full-on walker in the last week, which means the time he is asleep is the only time I get to type as well as everything else. And [...]

Cottage Hospital must think we are idiots.

It requires that the woman is planning [...]

Below is a response written by Stuart J. Fischbein, MD FACOG, Medical Director of the Birth Action Coalition. OBs like this are few are far [...]
