One of the things we talked about is how mammals go into labor when it's dark out. Most mammals choose a small, safe, dark place to give birth. <BR/>It's interesting that a lot of people go into labor during the night. <BR/>It's just not natural to wake up one day, go to the hospital, get plugged in, and give birth in that bright, public environment!Sarah Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354454314458661062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410440710208780456.post-22368740628971758152009-01-12T21:34:00.000-07:002009-01-12T21:34:00.000-07:00Figures, huh?

I guess I'm not too sad I missed it then. :-) But I am hoping they'll do a screening of the film in my neck of the woods sometime soon, 'cause I'm way too cheap to buy the dvd! But I totally want to see it!Lanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07513306977618928729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410440710208780456.post-24256206386124417662009-01-12T21:25:00.000-07:002009-01-12T21:25:00.000-07:00i caught the 20/20 special. it was pretty lame. ...i caught the 20/20 special. it was pretty lame. you didn't miss much. they made every segment out to be extreme and sensational. i guess i'll stick to the printed word. <BR/><BR/>love the "seclusion in birth" quote!<BR/><BR/>AND i can't BELIEVE the awesome glucose test you had. sensible people, those midwives. it seems so obvious that you wouldn't need the hyper-carbonated orange crush, but who would've thought?! and if they get to be jelly belly, even better!emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607977418949952473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410440710208780456.post-33960551321475708962009-01-12T12:14:00.000-07:002009-01-12T12:14:00.000-07:00A clip from that show made the "Kick-A$$ clip of t...A clip from that show made the "Kick-A$$ clip of the week" on The Soup this week.

Love it. <BR/><BR/>And also, now that you mention it, one of the weirdest things to me about childbirth has always been that people do it in cold hospital rooms with bright fluorescent lights and tons of onlookers. I mean, really? I TOTALLY get what they mean with the comparisons to sex or using the bathroom. When I envision giving birth, ideally it's in a softly-lit, quiet room with Dizzle plus maybe my mom, a midwife and/or doula I trust . . . maybe a nurse or something too. I mean, any other way just sounds so AWKWARD.Fighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212652442792835835noreply@blogger.com
