Hi all, I've looked into the problems that seem to be happening on the list, in particularly, that not all emails are being received by everyone. There are two issues that could be causing this problem, the first one is spam filters as already mentioned by Andrea. Unfortunately, there is no perf

The show last night was fascinating, and very true: believing that "good" doctors are incapable of human error is very dangerous. Here's an interesting reply that will raise the eyebrows of more than a few of you! What a pity the forum is now closed. "You are correct ; the doctor is not always

The most interesting (and revoltingly common) thing is that this man obviously believes he has a right to dictate who HE would prefer "manages" his WIFE'S pregnancy. *sigh* It's actually not his choice to make, unless he's carrying the baby and planning on giving birth to it from his vagina.

I wouldn't contribute my baby's cord blood because that blood belongs to my baby, and that's where it's going, every last drop until it stops by itself and the placenta comes away naturally. Cord blood donation requires early cord clamping which for reasons I probably don't have to explain to t

My experience with mothers doing this was not of early cord clamping but of physiological 3rd stage. We would have to wait for the lab person to come so the cord was clamped and cut when they got there and had stopped pulsating. The blood obviously does not flow (for the collection) as quick bu
