Thank you for your prompt response. I have been quite worried. Can't I claim postpartum wackiness if my baby is still under a year? :}

You are right about recommending the EMB. After 3 kids, one natural, it should be a cakewalk, or at least much less stressful than labor. I am a "better safe than sorry" person and would have no objections to even a hysterectomy if the pathology results warrant such. I have three little reminders of my womanhood running me in circles daily!!

You provide a kind service and we all learn so much.
