Dear Roberta, Kathleen and all, I've been catching up on over a months worth of postings (good grief!) and can't help remembering one day on the L/D unit (several years ago) when an OB was fixing his drapes and stirrups just so meanwhile the woman was crowning. He told her twice "now don't push" because he had to have his equipment just so. Later I told his that I though that telling a woman about to deliver NOT to push was like telling a man having intercouse not to ejaculate. I don't think I have heard him tell a woman not to push again. On the same subject, do you suppose they make a b--- devise for men. What a grusome thought. Any comments!
