Amazing how all of my fear of birthing disappeared when I stopped thinking I had to submit to a bossy doctor and unknown nurses in one of my most vulnerable times...<br /><br />Also, you would probably enjoy My OB Said What?!? It's a fun site. If you enjoy smashing your head against things.<br /><br />Also, I am sorry for your loss, and can't believe ANY caregiver would say such bullshit. At all. Period. If she suspected it she should keep her mouth shut, go check her RESEARCH, and then possibly if she found overwhelming evidence and wanted to help you avoid future miscarriages, contact you and tell you that while nothing is your fault, there have been studies which have shown X so if you are going to try to conceive again you might consider it. See, if she'd done that she would never have gotten to the talking to you stage, since there is no evidence!<br /><br />OK, I'm slightly emotional and also slightly tired of stupid doctors, so sorry for the rant.<br /><br />*steps off your soapbox*Eileenhttp://www.givingherallshesgot.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202175642266922867.post-68635061558753073952011-03-24T13:05:24.914-05:002011-03-24T13:05:24.914-05:00Wow - I can't believe that anyone in the medic...Wow - I can't believe that anyone in the medical profession would say anything like that. Women are designed to breast feed and have babies - AT THE SAME TIME! I am surprised she didn't tell you to lie still with your feet up in the air for a day or two after conceiving for when you try again. Find a new doctor now missus because yours seems to have her own imbalance (and its not hormonal if you get my drift).kittyn_ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01983430972457450285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202175642266922867.post-55502316045674973332011-03-24T09:59:04.671-05:002011-03-24T09:59:04.671-05:00G - I will not be retuning to that practice.

I'm pretty sure that a practice that believes in midwives will also support probiotics, extended nursing and a birth experience that does not include me laboring flat on my back for 17 hours... we'll see...Lily Ruth's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10455214123732507362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202175642266922867.post-46717531540792186282011-03-23T22:40:53.733-05:002011-03-23T22:40:53.733-05:00Are you freakin' kidding me? This is a doctor...Are you freakin' kidding me? This is a doctor, right, not an RN? I know that "extended nursing" isn't the norm, but it's not unheard of. I know several women that nursed TROUGH pregnancies. Hell, I also know folks that got pregnant breastfeeding and didn't know it BECAUSE they were breastfeeding. I was still nursing P (18mo) at my last exam, and my OB went out of his way to make sure he didn't make things, uh, squirt during the breast exam. Can you get a different doc?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202175642266922867.post-64258232856967353562011-03-23T18:58:00.268-05:002011-03-23T18:58:00.268-05:00Thank you Emily :-)

Insensitive doesn't even begin to explain how I feel about her right now. Of course nursing had NOTHING to do with your loss and any medical professional would know that. And for the record, my mom nursed my brothers close to their second birthdays. I nursed The Tortoise for 18 months and only stopped because I was in the middle of a terrible divorce and custody battle. You did NOT cause anything. You are an amazing mother and that doctor is an idiot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
