People will continue to have children. Sometimes birth control methods will fail. In addition, in America, unlike China, we still have reproductive freedom.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-20830217562112206412014-04-14T19:24:21.760-07:002014-04-14T19:24:21.760-07:00People should stop making so damn many kids and ov...People should stop making so damn many kids and over populating the planet.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-57283179917055765632014-04-13T04:50:44.163-07:002014-04-13T04:50:44.163-07:00Thanks for posting, Linda.

This is particularly helpful sometimes because many newborns need blood drawn from their heels. Warm heels allows the nurse or medical family member to very easily obtain enough blood to test blood sugar or other things. For example, in a Type I, Type II or gestational diabetic woman, her babies blood sugars will need to be checked every so many hours following an emergency home birth. In normal times, such a delivery would occur in a hospital, but in emergencies, one of these women could conceivably give birth at home. Watching the baby's blood sugar while alternating the heel used would be extremely important.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-9998922585250137132014-04-12T20:32:59.422-07:002014-04-12T20:32:59.422-07:00Interesting information.
