The Leapfrog Group, a non-profit organization that compares hospitals on national standards of safety and quality, asked hospitals to voluntarily report their rate of elective deliveries before 39 completed weeks of pregnancy. The hospital’s rate of elective deliveries is the percentage of non-medically indicated (without a medical reason) births between 37 and 39 weeks gestation, that were delivered by caesarean section or induction. Hospital rates of elective deliveries are listed below by state. Women should look at the rate of early elective early deliveries performed at hospital hospitals in their area and chose one that has a low rate"

"The first thing doctors will tell you about febrile seizures is they're usually completely harmless. Any parent who has witnessed one will tell you they're scary as hell, and that's not harmless to a parent's emotional well being.

Our family has chosen to be anti-vax for personal reasons.It is YOUR baby, not the doctors. YOU are the one that has to deal with any side effects, not the doctors. YOU have way more at steak than the doctors do. Be an informed consumer. Do your own research. Make your own decisions (whatever they are) and don't just take their word for it.
