Why I blocked you from my FB feed
I used to read a couple very well-known, popular birthing websites. I also have some friends who are very pro-this and anti-that, so they post a lot of articles pertaining to that subject. For a time it was nice to…
Appt #13 – OB
(24 weeks) Can I just say that medical students really kill me sometimes? The last 3 times I’ve been to my OB, he has a different med student with him. The student comes in first (without the OB), all dressed…
