I am interested to see who had the last word!
So did you walk out with the Dr scratching for reasons or did you
just walk out?
Curious about this as your point of view seems so valid - i was
told it was so you would know and avaiod but then again perhaps you
should just become an hermit for the entire pregnancy. Don't
socilaise, don't eat the wrong foods, don't do anything that may stress
your body and act like you are sick for 9 months so that dr's can look
after you.
Or you could just live!
Congratulations!!
Rhonda

[ozmidwifery] RUBELLA SCREENING (OR CALL ME LORETTA)
Dear
List,
Does
anyone know anything about rubella screening during pregnancy? It was
just recommended to me by my GP (yup, just found out that baby # 2 is
due next July!) but he couldn’t give me a clear answer as to why I ought
to have my rubella status checked. Being something of a questioner of
medical opinion anyway, the appointment went something like a scene from
“Life of Brian”:
DOC:
“Have you had your rubella status
checked?”
LYN:
“No, but I’ve had rubella, surely that would make me somewhat
immune.”
DOC:
“Not necessarily.”
LYN:
“Well if I found out that I wasn’t immune, I wouldn’t let you vaccinate
me while I was pregnant anyway.”
DOC:
“I wouldn’t let anyone vaccinate you, that would be
dangerous.”
LYN:
“So then if I found out I wasn’t immune, the only advantage would be
that I’d stay away from people with rubella, though I would have been
likely to anyway.”
DOC:
“You wouldn’t know they were infectious until it was too late
anyway.”
LYN:
“So what’s the point?”
DOC:
“Hmm?”
LYN:
“What’s the point of checking my rubella status when nothing could be
done about the outcome anyway?”
DOC:
“To see if you’re at risk, of course!” (WHICH SHOULD HAVE READ: “It is
symbolic of our struggle against disease.” TO WHICH I SHOULD HAVE
REPLIED: “Symbolic of your struggle against
reality!”)
Or
am I being harsh?
Love,
Lyn

Hi fellow
listers,
Where can I find information on Lotus Birth? is there any dangers? what
are the implications for the mother/child? I've heard of them and I'd
love some more info. Sounds really spiritual and karmic.
Thankyou
for yet again feeding my curiosity. Julie'',
