		<description><![CDATA[During the last three days, I spent many hours riveted to my computer, watching the NIH Consensus Development Conference on VBAC in Bethesda, Maryland. Overall, the news is good. To quote from the conclusion of the final report, “Given the available evidence, TOL [trial of labor] is a reasonable option for many pregnant women with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I came across still another story in the news about a pregnant woman who had to travel hundreds of miles in order to have a VBAC. This was the woman&#8217;s fourth pregnancy – her first birth was a vaginal one; her second, a cesarean surgery; and her third a successful VBAC. She was an ideal [...]]]></description>

But I can&#8217;t stop thinking about this report from California Watch, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting. According to an unreleased report from the California Department of [...]]]></description>

Here it is February and I haven’t yet wrapped my head around the fact that 2010 is HERE! Time is moving on faster than I can keep up with it. Already this year I have dealt with births and deaths in our family and among friends. The cycle of life gives us pause to think. [...]]]></description>

It is amazing to see the entire paper there on my computer screen, color comics and all. It took a few minutes to figure out the navigation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
“A study, by three neuroscientists, at Emory University, finds that when given expert advice, the decision-making part of our brain shuts down. That&#8217;s not a big deal if the advice we are receiving is good. But what if it isn&#8217;t?“
The above is copied from a newsletter by financial guru, Kim Snider. But when I read [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has published a new consumer brochure on labor induction. Unfortunately, this brochure is poorly written and misleading. One would think from reading the brochure that elective induction is a completely innocuous procedure that is fine for any woman who is “uncomfortable” (their word!) towards the end of [...]]]></description>

When the therapist asked why, the patient said that all her classes were lecture. “I can&#8217;t stand it another minute! I need classes where [...]]]></description>
