Earth Day in Obstetrics

Today we celebrate life on our planet. We call her “Mother Earth” and in truth she is the mother of all living things. In obstetrics we celebrate life every day. While our mothers and babies have all the strength of new life, we are also reminded of the fragility of life. Moms: Take good care of yourselves. Eat a good diet, get some exercise as well as rest. Take your vitamins. Follow the instructions of your doctor or certified nurse midwife. Take nothing for granted.Celebrate your ability to give birth and don’t sweat the small stuff.
