Here’s a link that describes the whole “full term” thing:
http://www.webmd.com/baby/news/20110523/study-gives-new-view-of-full-term-pregnancy
I am a sonigrapher in a high risk Perinatology office, and from all the medical journals I have read, as well as the info I get from doctors I work with daily, they are no longer considering 37 weeks full term because research has found that there is increased risks associated with delivering early. Even with twins, the other day I scanned and she was scheduled to deliver at 39 weeks. 38 weeks is the new “term” and 39 weeks is preferred if that is an option for the mother. Also, you can’t say a baby is fully developed at 37 weeks, because you would need to do an amniocentesis to determine Fetal Lung Maturity. Sometimes we do them at 37 weeks and the tests show the baby’s lungs are not yet mature, so no not fully developed. Sure they have technology that will keep your baby alive and get its lungs working, but why risk it? Of course if there is something wrong and the baby needs to come out early, then it needs to come out early, but there are too many elective C-Sections because the mother doesn’t feel like carrying the baby any more!

FYI, 37 weeks is NOT full term and is associated with various pregnancy/fetal risks. 38 weeks is considered “full term” but the longer the baby is in the better.

I would recommend reading Dr. Brian Weiss’ books. he’s a psychiatrist who has a lot of experience with hypnosis and past-life regression therapy. The idea is that we have all had previous lives and ailments in this lifetime are likely due to some trauma that has happened in a previous lifetime. After learning about the past trauma, the person is cured. He’s helped thousands of people, and you don’t have to believe in it for it to work. He doesn’t take private patients anymore but he’s trained others to do this type of hypnosis, so you should be able to find someone. He also does workshops around the country.

My personal experience with X Pole has been awful. I got rid of it quick and got PS. I have had both multiple piece and single piece, both with static/spin, and both removable. Both have been awesome. I have no complaints with the poles. I haven’t had any experience with their customer service.
