@CriminelleLaw That's great. Epidurals go into birth preference lists too. In the same way you're allowed to request regional analgesia, others are allowed to request that they have access to whatever comfort measures they've chosen for THEIR own birth.
@TheActualSarah @minifingerz @joshjreynolds@CriminelleLaw Totally agree. The majority of birth plans are simply asking for evidence based care. If this was standard practice then people wouldn't have to ask. Much easier to brand everyone with a birthplan as hysterical then to question maternity care as a whole.
@NewstalkFM Screaming at the radio listening to Johnathon repeating the same point over and over. Read the stats, look at the figures. Mass "abortion up to birth" is a myth, it's not happening. Stop detracting.
@vinniemcdermott@Sineadmcgar What an utterly bizarre reading of this situation. Maybe read Sinead's thread for some professional insight before further comment.
@HerNameIsSorca@niamhisainmdi You need a new GP! The vast majority of antibiotics don't affect the pill/the bar... Unless youre taking them for TB or meningitis.
@davehartin Too far, too fast? The waiting time for gender identity clinic is >3 years, most likely around 5 years.
How slow would they want it to be for a group with >40% suicidal ideation in the last year, while gender affirming care is recommended by every major medical organisation?
@NewstalkFM Somehow the conversation has jumped from children learning about LGBTI+ people in an age appropriate way to them being taught how to transition. This is mass hysteria that Newstalk is pedalling.
@StephenGuilfoyl BIBA is standard. There's nothing lazy about using abbreviations- they are 100% necessary in healthcare. There's no way I have time to write "spontaneous rupture of membranes" every single time. We just need people to stop making them up as they go along!
@HerNameIsSorca@ruairijfahy@UCDFitness@rite20 I imagine he's missing the point on purpose.. Unless he thinks breastfeeding a baby is comparable to bringing a cooked meal/cans of Coke to a pool bank to feed a child that understands reasons why we don't do that?
