I've seen Jeanice before - and bought her books, but haven't read them yet. Yes, I was horrified by what I learned, mostly because my twins had ultrasounds almost weekly because I had two miscarriages before them. So, you can guess what I'm wondering about concerning them. The first born the doctor used forceps, the second had a fetal heart monitor attached to his head and was helped out by a vacuum! I had no idea about the monitor or the vacuum and the risks involved. I was conscious - no drugs - but I was informed about what was going to happen. I asked before they were born if I should work on my birth plan and the doctor said, "you don't get to have one." They were six weeks early and I had been on bedrest for the previous month. All this to say, I look forward to seeing this and am reading Robert s. Mendelsohn, M.D.'s book "How to Raise a Healthy Child, in Spite of Your Doctor." Of course he died too soon and has written other recommended books. I wish I knew of him sooner.
