Why are we not letting her have a fully bulb and having a chance at a vaginal birth?

Why is she going straight to C-section?

It doesn't add up.

That's the, that's the, that's the online.

I do think that she might enjoy checking out some other providers who might handle things

all differently or at least not.

Yeah, suddenly look at me being all diplomatic out of nowhere.

So unlike me.

So unlike you.

My second pregnancy and my midwife had mentioned she doesn't require cervical checks,

but they like to do them after 36 weeks.

She said because it tells them a lot of things about baby's positioning and helps them make recommendations like, I guess, to see a chiropractor or to do certain stretches to help baby engage and sit pelvis.

Is there anything to this?

Interesting.

Yeah, and ridiculous.

Well, we don't have to do it, but it provides us with a lot of information.

We can make better recommendations based on a cervical exam.

I'm sorry. Who's touching her cervix and saying go see a chiropractor? I feel her damn belly and decide

what she needs. I'm Cynthia Overgard, owner of hypnoborthing of Connecticut, childbirth

advocate, and postpartum support specialist.

And I'm Trescia Ludwig, certified nurse midwife and international board certified lactation consultant.
