Millions of women suffer from infertility problems. Infertility can be

Re: Your Right to Refuse a C-Section

Patricia — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 23:58:23 -0000

if i was in your situation, i would learn everything i could about how births happen without hospitals... animals just go somewhere dark and private and let their bodies do their thing. have your husband study with you. a good video is "birth as we know it" by elena tonetti... she says that what you must do is clear all your own birth trauma... EFT (lots of good info on youtube) is good for clearing... then your body will be open, flexible, and able to birth without fear. another important book is 'birth without fear' by grantly dick. video & book are available at amazon. that's what i would do. on facebook there are a lot of young mothers who are talking about this... and other, related issues. see guggie daly. or find 'peaceful parenting' blog and dr.momma. what a great adventure!!!

Re: Would you want to cry it out, alone, in a strange place? Sleep Training Skepticism

Dara — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 14:28:38 -0000

I feel the same way. I actually tried with my first because that's what I was told to do: what was right and normal. He was a very demanding child and I could have used more than 2 hours unbroken sleep. But it never felt right and even though I did give it an honest attempt it didn't really work. Sure for a couple of weeks he was "trained," but after that it basically wore off. And it never felt right to begin with. So I didn't do it again. In a way I'm glad I did try because now I can say to anyone who asks "yes, I tried that. I still don't think it's right."
I wrote a post a while back that showed my feelings on it http://www.readilyaparent.com/...

I came across your blog and wanted to congratulate you on breastfeeding in public and standing up for the protections that the law very clearly states. Unfortunately we have a long way to go and sometimes I wonder if we will ever stop hearing about these confrontations. Luckily they're not all that common and many women nurse in public without ever encountering rude people. GO MOMMA!

Is this really the way it played out or is the fact that you made no effort to cover yourself the issue. If I were sitting there and had to see your total breast exposed I would have been appalled, especially if there were children or young adults present. And I breast fed all 3 of my children. It sounds to me that the supervisor was not asking you to stop breastfeeding but to please stop exposing yourself. An open air bistro is not the place to totally expose your breast. How would you feel if I were to sit there with my breast hanging out. I am sure I would be asked to cover it up or in fact most likely to leave the zoo. Use your head and stop shunning the zoo and that supervisor. If I were in the same position as the supervisor I would have asked you to cover up also. Never once did I hear you say she asked you to stop breast feeding. GO BROOKFIELD ZOO.

You can very easily breastfeed you child in a more private place than an open air cafe. You rights were not denied, the zoo has many more private spaces for you to feed and bond with your child. Incidentally, my wife breastfed both of our children without ever running into problems like this using what I would suppose you would call common sense.

It's great that you're adopting this approach, which is great for your child's health. But, why be a numbskull about it? Is your personal comfort more important than that of all those around you. Pretty self-centered thinking. A little effort on YOUR part would go a long way toward enhancing what you stand for, rather than making you appear thoughtless and selfish.

I totally agree that your right to breastfeed was infringed upon and that that is not acceptable, however I think you jumped too rashly to the conclusion that one person's actions stand for the views and opinions of the whole, and that is simply not true. I concede that as a zoo employee the supervisor acted as a representative for the zoo and should have been aware of the policies before . However, when you lodged your complaint the staff was sympathetic were they not? And as for the zoo not calling you back, had you even given it a full day before you decided that they had brushed you aside? I certainly don't mean to invalidate your feelings of unjust treatment, I only find your reaction a bit harsh as it has caused some great turmoil in the community. Now and again everyone feels that they have been treated unfairly and while it is a shame that is simply how life is; no one ever said life was fair. All we can do is try to maintain our dignity, be the bigger person and allow them their right to be stupid, ignorant, opinionated what have you. I come from a place where people are quite intolerant, and so I've always tried to get the whole story before I make any serious judgements or actions. I feel that for someone so easily offended by the remarks of one ignorant person you are also being ignorant in jumping to the conclusion that "the zoo is anti-breastfeeding." Do you really think the zoo is purposely trying to prevent mothers from caring for their children? It's leaps like that that get us into trouble. For example, from reading your post here I would think that all breastfeeding mothers have an over exaggerated sense of entitlement and jump at the chance to be martyred on her new age blog. See, that doesn't feel good, does it? Besides, as the mother of young children how do you have time to blog? Shouldn't you be doing something more important, like teaching your kids tolerance, patience and how to give people the benefit of the doubt?

Re: Your Right to Refuse a C-Section

St Mary619 — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 22:23:07 -0000

I am currently pregnant with twins :) I have a 12yr old already and I gave birth naturally to him.... I intend to do the same in this case... I am being told that if Baby A is breech no vaginal birth will be allowed by policy of the hospital... I have news for them.. I WILL NOT BE CUT OPEN FOR THE SAKE OF THEIR POLICY!!!! As Women it is our bodies and our choice... I am only 22 weeks so at the time of labor there may or may not be a doctor wanting to slice my belly.... I have shared my concerns with my provider and they really seem not to care about what i want all they care about is their policy and procedure...C-sections are safer they say.. safer for who?? THEM... Not me... I am searching far and wide for all information on refusal of c-sections... I will not do it, pretty much at this point they are just going to drive me from having any medical care...
