Distractions
Busy work day and an oops. Had a client in the clinic room when I had to leave room for important phone call. I hate giving bad news to people! Got caught up in following through referral and I forgot the first client... Smart woman came out and tracked me down. Very embarrassing.

Poop colour chart
I am working on a newborn poop colour chart for all the people who are as colour challenged as I am. I really thought khaki colour was more of an olive rather than a pale colour =P
It seems weird to worry about a chart but I like clarity and consistency in my assessments. That is why I use an informal scale for things like a new mother's tiredness and note the actual estimated daily wet and soiled nappies. "Okay" and "lots" would otherwise be very common responses and quite meaningless.Sunday, May 2, 2010
Premature births still a medical mystery
While recent medical advancements mean most preemies will survive, preventing early birth in the first place is a different story. Doctors have no way of knowing which pregnancies will be preterm, and in about half of all cases, they don't know why a mother delivers early. However, science is beginning to divulge some clues, such as social stress, bacterial infection and hereditary influences, which might be tied to early births.
