That is, if you have a longer menstrual cycle length, your natural gestational length will be over that 40 week standard. Here's some info: http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/133/6/585 http://www.kidslife.com.au/article.asp?ContentID=calculating_the_date_of_your_babys_arrival A 'normal' EDD is calculated based on ...

I think it's something ongoing, and that we never know what will set off our pain or ptsd. Just an example : I was fine for several years, but on my babies 10th b'day I was set off again by someone reminding me about how she had met my baby before I had (I posted about it here, I dont need to recap). That set off all sorts of things in me that I hadn't revisited in years!!! Granted I had covered lots of ground and was able to face ...

As I was being briefed about having a caeser with Bodhi, the Ob (who was pretty good for the rest of it) said, if I choose to have a caeser, I may need a caesar next time (which he was pretty doubtful about and told me in the follow up appointment there was no reason why I shouldn't be able to birth vaginally next time ), but, if I did have caesareans, I may risk my health if I have more three children. This wasn't a problem ...

They're too short, to thin, small pelvis, inverted pelvis etc etc, when the reality is that many a tiny (and not so tiny) woman has birthed many a healthy, chubby bub. Not big as in "oh wow 8.5lbs!" I'm talking healthy chubba bubba, at least over 10lbs. What people don't seem to realise is how completely amazing a woman's body is ...

This space is to challenge and explore common (or perhaps uncommon) beliefs that may or may not be faulty in the whole birthing arena.

You can post a question, and we'll pool our collective resources and research to help you find an answer, or at least information to help you find an answer. We'll all come out a little smarter and more able to help ourselves and others prevent birth trauma.]]> Mythbusters Sun, 16 Mar 2008 04:47:47 GMT http://birthhealing.forummotion.com/mythbusters-f30/what-is-mythbusters-t133.htm#564 http://birthhealing.forummotion.com/mythbusters-f30/what-is-mythbusters-t133.htm
