it! |
|
19:04:42 |
tjamois |
a lot of women are afraid of getting pg
again.... |
|
19:04:52 |
daisygrl |
my pg was hell too!! |
|
19:04:57 |
tjamois |
a second pregnancy brings back a lot of
the stuff from the first birth |
|
19:05:07 |
daisygrl |
I know a lot more now though... still
looking for that strong inner voice
though... |
|
19:05:12 |
tjamois |
every pregnancy is different......:) |
|
19:05:16 |
tjamois |
Just as every birth is too |
|
19:05:21 |
daisygrl |
I have heard that, and witnessed it with
friends |
|
19:05:24 |
tjamois |
Where do you live? Is there an ICAN
chapter near you? |
|
19:05:37 |
daisygrl |
fear is still real that it will be the
same... |
|
19:05:48 |
tjamois |
totally understandable.... |
|
19:05:55 |
daisygrl |

on the top 10 evil CDN hospitals with
antibiotic resistant bugs in them!
lovely |
|
19:08:54 |
KristaJoy |
my sis in KElowna just gave birth to #6
last night |
|
19:09:13 |
ourwiefamily |
LOL .. you guys are cracking me up w/
weather talk. I live in the great white
north and don't even want to THINK about
weather. Let's talk birth hee hee |
|
19:09:26 |
tjamois |
I just heard today on the news about how
bad hospitals are for staph infections |
|
19:09:55 |
tjamois |
I'm reading The Medical Delivery
Business."" |
|
19:09:58 |
daisygrl |
Krista- what hospital was that? |
|
19:10:32 |
ourwiefamily |
gee ... pleasant thoughts about
infections and hospitals! |
|
19:10:43 |
KristaJoy |
mmm can't remember name |
|
19:10:57 |
daisygrl |
So... is there anything in Calgary as
far as support groups go or awareness? |
|
19:10:57 |
KristaJoy |
my FIL was leaving the hospital from
visiting her and new baby, and he heard
it on CBC news in the car!!!! |
|
19:11:21 |
KristaJoy |
There probably are some birth-oriented
groups. But until you start our brand
new ICAN chapter in Calgary, there isn't
an ICAN group there. <BIG GRIN> |
|
19:11:25 |
daisygrl |
And is that why your hubby is coming
here or does he work inthe oil industry? |
|
19:11:31 |
TurboClaudia |

daisygrl |

|
19:11:49 |
tjamois |
and everyone...its been awhile since
I've been here |
|
19:11:55 |
tjamois |
I meant to be here last time |
|
19:12:03 |
ourwiefamily |
I missed the last couple becasue of
schedule snafus |
|
19:12:08 |
tjamois |
but had a reporter from NBC in my living
room! |
|
19:12:09 |
KristaJoy |
You should come join the main ICAN email
list, there may be some other Albertans
lurking on there |
|
19:12:11 |
TurboClaudia |
oh, the love... :) |
|
19:12:27 |
daisygrl |
Krista... sure, how do I do that? |
|
19:12:29 |
ourwiefamily |
well, NBC is a good excuse, tonya lol |
|
19:12:38 |
KristaJoy |
http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/ican-online |
|
19:12:45 |
tjamois |
ha! They haven't aired it yet. So
we'll see |
|
19:12:48 |
TurboClaudia |
an nbc reporter in tonya's living room?
huh? how? |
|
19:12:50 |
ourwiefamily |
I met a vbac hopeful mom in my area and
it made me wish all the more that we had
ICAN locally |
|
19:12:51 |
tjamois |
AS it turned out, the guy's wife had 4
c/s |
|
19:13:00 |
tjamois |
he told me after the interview |
|
19:13:20 |
tjamois |
After the first c/s, she was too afraid
to try VBAC....for #3 she wanted to but
they told her it was too dangerous |
|
19:13:27 |
tjamois |
and I assume #4 wasn't even questioned |
|
19:13:50 |
tjamois |
women aren't supported in VBAC....that
is why chapters are so important |
|
19:14:04 |
Tania |
Hi everyone am new here so just getting
a feel for everything |
|
19:14:07 |
tjamois |
there isn't much incentive to support
VBAC for hosptials, doctors, etc |
|
19:14:11 |
tjamois |
Hi Tania....how are you? |
|
19:14:14 |
tjamois |
Nice name, btw |
|
19:14:19 |
tjamois |
My name is Tonya.... |
|
19:14:21 |
tjamois |
:) |
|
19:14:23 |
Tania |
Good Tonya, Happy New Year |
|
19:14:33 |
Tania |
I know...I met you at ICAN |
|
19:14:34 |
TurboClaudia |
tonya, what did the interviewer ask you
about? |
|
19:14:46 |
tjamois |
Lots of stuff.....lets see..... |
|
19:15:04 |
tjamois |
the producer really liked our STatement
of Belief that talked about patient
choice c/s being unethical for docs |
|
19:15:09 |
tjamois |
So I made sure to give them that one |
|
19:15:16 |
tjamois |
They wanted to know a list of reasons
for the high c/s rates |
|
19:15:25 |
tjamois |
it was pretty much whatever I wanted to
say, really |
|
19:15:33 |
tjamois |
they film it all and they choose the few
seconds to put on air |
|
19:15:50 |
tjamois |
they took some video of my VBAC kid and
me doing a puzzle..... |
