Wiggling and Weaving...

I have gathered a ton of information from many websites and still continue to add to my notes. I have created many lists and charts to organize/hold that information. I love technology, but always revert to pencil and paper when doing research. I have to write the information down to fully comprehend what I am learning. Lamb provides many wonderful online tools for organizing ones thoughts and information. One that I do think is very user friendly and free is bubbl.us -- check it out for yourself.

Some of the websites that have been useful are...

http://www.pellahealth.org/services/Pain%20Control%20Options%20for%20OB%20patients.pdf

The sites are from health organizations and other reputable organizations, so I feel I am getting accurate information from them. The information has also been very similar, so that provides more support for their accuracy. I am still evaluating the sites that I have found to be more "ify" when it comes to accuracy.

Now comes the part where I have to decided what I think. Do I have the information I need to answer my question? What other pieces of information do I need in order to do this? Well...I feel that I have great information and I believe my question of "What are the options?" is answered. But I must say, I still have not decided which method I plan to use when the time comes for labor and delivery!!!
