The midwife, Michelle was great. She really trusts [...]

As noted in my previous post, I am on vacation, so I haven’t been tied to my cell phone. I discovered a lovely phone message on there from this morning from one of my students. The message was from G., from this post, with the OB who tried to scare her that the routine interventions [...]

I would love to go through each part of the statement and despute it… but I don’t have to, because someone else did a GREAT job doing it and I am just going to send you over to the House of Harris Blog and read what she said. I wholeheartedly agree!
