@80suburbia I call bullshit. Virginia does not require spousal consent for sterilization. Certain religious-affiliated hospitals might, but it’s not a law.
@religionredpill @swoonganz As the placenta ages, it loses oxygen reserves and is less able to provide for the baby, especially during stressful events like labor.
@joshmcgoo I always do a paracervical block and recommend 800mg ibuprofen an hour before. Most patients say it’s only mildly uncomfortable, and some don’t even feel it. I don’t believe the research and I will always do a block.
@DaveScarangella As a born & bred Va girl, I loved to hate Lefty when he coached MD, but he was a great coach and a character to watch. After he moved to JMU I couldn’t help but love him. Sad day for the ACC. RIP.
@ImWatson91@ask_aubry I don’t hear that as often as I used to, but response is always the same…
“Drop your pants so I can see just how small I need to make it”. Shuts them up every time.
@meade6487@emzanotti No, I think they feel pressured to read this stuff, setting them up for unrealistic expectations, and making them feel like failures if everything doesn’t go exactly as described. Our society puts too much pressure on moms.
@GayPatriot@JCinKeyWest I’m sorry to hear this, but not surprised. I just went through a similar experience with my mother. I will keep you both in my thoughts and hope that things start to turn around soon.
