Good morning everyone, I have been reading these last few threads with great interest, and just wanted to express how grateful I am that this list is here for me as a student midwife. I remember hearing about women possibly having a period of no contractions at transition, in the group I attended with my own pregnancy seven years ago!! But after a year attending women in the hospital (St Average, as one of our lecturers calls it), it was like a light went on hearing it talked about again. I cant believe I ever forgot it.It is a fear of mine that all my faith in normal birth will be beaten out of me by doing my initial training in a hospital, where most of us are yet to see even one normal, undrugged labour and birth! Yikes! That's why I appreciate this group so much, and wanted to let you all know. Regards, Astra. P.S Lucky me going off to Germany in a couple of weeks for the Midwifery today conference with Renee. Say Hi if you're there!
