This is what we need more of!

a research study done in the late 90′s revealed that for every 1 negative statement directed at a woman, it takes 5 positive ones to counter the mental/emotional impact… Hearing it while you’re laboring and birthing makes it so much worse- I wish there were more OBs like this!

Do you know where I can get a copy of this study? I know a few people who should read it…

I will never forget having a Labor nurse look at me and say “Woman, you ought to go into production!” It was awesome, and it made everyone in the room laugh.
