I'm...I, too, will pray for early labor for you. I'm one of those who has big babies, too, and would be dead without medical intervention...in my case, a surgical knife. :/ Anyway. It's inevitable in something as big as this law that there are going to be problems that need to be addressed, but there is so much wrong with our system as it stands, too, that I still do believe that something had to be done. It can be fine-tuned (or altered dramatically) as it goes, but the first step is to DO something. I know there are major problems with the new law, but one thing they got right, which is near and dear to my heart, is the support for people with special needs. Finally, families don't have to bury themselves in debt to get the therapies their kids need to be productive members of society. So I have a hard time supporting the Republican efforts to tear the whole works down. It's not all bad. Better to take a thoughtful look and figure out which parts need altering.Kathleen@so much to sayhttp://www.kathleenbasi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335111237964709035.post-30163923430875697182011-01-29T22:52:11.107-05:002011-01-29T22:52:11.107-05:00God bless you!

Look for it here http://www.bellybelly.com.au/articles/birth/natural-induction-methods , and I *promise* you this is not spam. If you click on the accupressure link, there are very specific points which are helpful...we used several of them during my last labor. God speed, little one, and may Mrs. Nod have a smooth, safe, and as-easy-as-possible labor and birth!!laurazimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07740164378856454831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335111237964709035.post-47563105137882227182011-01-26T21:36:15.598-05:002011-01-26T21:36:15.598-05:00Thanks, Elizabeth.

Sad really, this is EXACTLY what amny of us said would happen all along. Beaurocrats making rules that override the Doctors medical decisions. UGH. Blessings to Mrs Nod and all of the nodlings.
