I have had women who have found the medical model very stressful Francesca Nash's books helpful and positive in results both emotionally and physically as well as reproducitively Denise ----- Original Message ----- From: Julie Garratt To: Ozmid Sent: Sunday, February 23, 2003 4:46 AM Subject: [ozmidwifery] baby wanted Hi all,  I need some wisdom for a young women who was tears telling me how desperately she wants to get pregnant, she has been trying for about 5 months.   She is 21, had an abortion at 16 and three recent miscarriages. She also has huge guilt that her past may have permanently damaged her body.    Her doctor  told her that she is "low in estrogen" and that is why he put her on a contraceptive pill that had a high estrogen level in the past?   He also said that she has to have several more miscarriages before they will do any tests (cruel unthinking bastard!)    She is very slight in stature (maybe wears size 6 jeans) but otherwise healthy and has a good diet.    If you clever people can help with some advise so she can do something proactive I think it will be a great comfort to her.   All tips, tricks and recommendations welcome:)   Thankyou, Julie'',
