So much has been said about avoiding the sun to prevent skin cancer.  We wear hats, and use SPF to prevent sun damage– and what has happened we are developing problems due to Vitamin D Deficiency.  Newest recommendation is 10 minutes exposure of sun a day - in a bathing suit– will provide you with the daily requirement for Vitamin D.  So grab your bathing suit and take 10 minutes a day to relax and take your Vitamin D while the weather is so beautiful.  For those rainy days look to Cod Liver Oil it is loaded in Vitamin D.  xxxxx Lonnie

I have found the hospital that I can practice in without having to fight to allow women to deliver their babies.  We have had really wonderful births and women are free to move, shower, walk or just be in labor.  It is wonderful to finally find a women’s centered hospital.  Interested parties can feel free to call the hospital for tours.  Lonnie

We are moving and have changed our hospital.  We have finally found a new home.  Mountainside Hospital is a wonderful hospital that supports women’s desire to birth babies appropriately.  The hospital has a NICU and supports early discharge and the model of care that you desire.  I am so excited to finally be able to offer the care that you so deserve.  I look forward to seeing you in our new office in Clifton- 716 Broad Avenue, Clifton.  Stop by and say hello as of April 1.  Lonnie

Good question EM– I am not sure what the real answer is.  The recommendation for the Flu Shot is still the same– give to health care providers, pregnant women, the elderly, children and those that have chronic conditions ie asthma.  This has not changed.  The studies are still not completed on the H1N1 have not been completed and the availability is questionable.  Most of my population is watching and waiting and not sure if they want the H1N1 vaccine or not. I am trying to read everything possible so as to educate myself and my patient population.  Lonnie

Hey Lonnie,Just trying to pick you brain about a new hot topic. James and I are trying for # 2 of the”Massiveness”. My workplace has just mandated the H1N1 to all those who have direct contact with patients. I took the regular flu shot already but as you know H1N1 is not yet here. I know its recommended for all those expecting but don’t know the research - if any has been done on the effects to the baby.Thanks,EM

We had 5 fabulous births this week.  One birth was better than the next.  Really proved to me that watchful waiting is the way to go.  Wonderful week filled with wonderful families that had great babies.  Could anything get better?  Women are so strong and amazing.  Lonnie
