I could probably make it up and it would pretty accurately reflect the segment.<BR/>I have said it before: of course doctors (in general) will be against freebirthing -- it takes away their business.<BR/>What makes me more angry is that they're still trying to wrangle more control away from pregnant women: one of my friends who is 32 weeks pg told me her ob told her she is to have a "measuring" scan at 34 weeks and when she questioned it he said it was pretty standard now. WHY the heck do they have to start these all of a sudden? How will this new practice affect the caesarean rate, I wonder? "I have a holiday booked about the time you're due....let's do a scan...oh dear, your baby is measuring quite big! Hmmmm..I really think you should have a caesarean."<BR/>I was scanned at 34 weeks due to a low-lying placenta, and was told my baby was a whopper! Estimated to be over 4kg at birth. She weighed 3.18 kg and I birthed her without a problem in 1.5 hours.<BR/>Where does this all end, I wonder?Cherryskinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09750062080407606569noreply@blogger.com
