Thanks Kay!  It looks like a very informative site.

one thing I thought of as I was skimming their indez … I wish they could do something about some of their terminology … like the word abortion being used to describe a miscarriage.  when I was pregnant with my middle girl, I went in for some complication and the L&D doctor kept throwing the words “threatened abortion” around.  It made me feel horrible!!  later my OB/GYN explained that many women in otherwise healthy pregnancies have spotting and break through bleeding, which is what the term meant, but holy cow!  it sounds so final!!

oh no!  how sad :(  I think that after being through something like that she should have been given a private room to grieve. 

yeah, I'm not sure what the deal is with that word, but it sure rubbed me wrong.  my OB/GYN said that she always disliked the term, even though it was technically incorrect, and that I had come into a shift being run by an ER type doctor and I guess they tend to be more straightforward and less compassionate … sheesh!
