Not always so!<BR/><BR/>For me, the beginnings of the first word in each stanza get cut off. The first French word I only see "n'avez," and just the "u" of "You."Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475112158639748154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-18384945619100844602009-01-21T14:43:00.000-05:002009-01-21T14:43:00.000-05:00Jill,What I meant was that just because you're see...Jill,<BR/>What I meant was that just because you're seeing a midwife, it doesn't mean she practices along the midwifery model of care. I didn't specify the different kids of midwives, though, that is true. <BR/><BR/>So on your screen, the short poem on the left gets cut off? How much of it? On my screen, I see all the words and quite a bit of more background to the left of the words. I could resize the words somewhat for people who have lower screen resolutions...<BR/><BR/>Yes, I can see the value of a birth plan in a hospital because you're interacting with so many people you've never met before. But in a way, isn't that part of the problem of institutionalized care? That you're interacting with a team of strangers and often don't even know who your doctor or midwife will be until you arrive, unless you're fortunate enough to have a birth attendant who tries to be at all her patient's births if possible (and some hospital midwives and doctors do this, but it's more the exception).Rixahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908864785513937876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-58385023215680185252009-01-21T14:29:00.000-05:002009-01-21T14:29:00.000-05:00I do think a birth plan is critical if you are goi...I do think a birth plan is critical if you are going to be birthing in the hospital, even if your chosen birth attendant already knows and respects your wishes. In a hospital you will be dealing with a nursing staff that you didn't pick and don't have a relationship with. I have found it very helpful to have a birth plan to give them when I arrive in labor. I have personally had positive experiences with hospital staff respecting the wishes expressed in my birth plan. I would think with a home-birth midwife such a plan would be unnecessary because the personal relationship is already there.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409740378011990132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-13946394357453262512009-01-21T14:13:00.000-05:002009-01-21T14:13:00.000-05:00Oh and although it's true that I saw midwives for ...Oh and although it's true that I saw midwives for both pregnancies, with the first it was CNMs based out of the hospital, and the second it was independent CPMs.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475112158639748154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-29219953637632157422009-01-21T14:12:00.000-05:002009-01-21T14:12:00.000-05:00YAY! :D Thanks Rixa!I like this new layout too, bu...YAY! :D Thanks Rixa!<BR/><BR/>I like this new layout too, but not as much as the other one.
