minnemom replied to Lisa Baker's discussion 'Some info for an aussie mom, please?'

We have many options available here in the US, but I'll tell you how my births went. (I have four children.) I saw a family-practice doctor throughout my pregnancies, and consulted with or switched to an obstetrician if there were complications. ...

minnemom replied to Shelby Barone's discussion 'Allergy Mom's On Twitter!' in the group Allergy Moms
