We had a great October meeting and wish everyone could have been there!  In our discussion of ultrasounds, we noted that women have a wide variety of experiences with them, both positive and negative.  Articles presented at the meeting were: http://www.midwiferytoday.com/articles/ultrasoundwagner.asp http://midwiferytoday.com/articles/ultrasoundrodgers.asp http://www.midwiferytoday.com/articles/ultrasound.asp It was mentioned that ultrasounds do (as with all medical interventions), carry some potential risks.  The above articles are a good place to begin reading and researching in order to make an informed decision about whether or not you want to have an ultrasound during pregnancy.   Also, Thursday morning (next week), October 20, will be our next playdate.  Location is TBA and will depend on weather.  Our next meeting is scheduled Monday, November 14.
