Nobody likes to be rushed,<br />

especially babies.<br />

Your baby needs at least a full 40 weeks of<br />

pregnancy to grow and develop. Inducing labor<br />

even a week or two early is associated with a<br />

host of risks, including prematurity, cesarean<br />

surgery, hemorrhage and infection.<br />

While it may seem convenient for you or your<br />

health care provider, labor should only be<br />

induced for medical reasons.<br />

Your baby will let you know when he’s ready to<br />

come out, so give him at least a full 40 weeks.<br />

Movie Screening - The Edge of Joy<br />

Suellen Miller, PhD, RN, CNM, MHA<br />

The Edge of Joy is a documentary film that follows an ensemble cast of Nigerian<br />

doctors, midwives and families to <strong>the</strong> frontlines of maternal care. Inside a maternity<br />

ward, <strong>the</strong> film chronicles distressed labors, deaths, and miraculous survival.<br />

Outside, lack of blood supply transportation and family planning are examined<br />

as causes of <strong>the</strong> cycle that kills more than 36,000 Nigerian women each year.<br />

The central characters in The Edge of Joy are <strong>the</strong> people deep within <strong>the</strong><br />

Nigerian culture who know its misconceptions, its limitations, but also its<br />

capabilities. Narrated by award winning journalist, Eliza Griswold, and featuring<br />

animation by Yoni Goodman, this portrait of pregnancy and childbirth shows<br />

<strong>the</strong> consequences of poor maternal health as it explores <strong>the</strong> nuances and<br />

complexities of bringing emerging health technologies to <strong>the</strong> developing world.<br />

24 Music City Is Calling!


The Wildhorse Saloon<br />

It’s been called Nashville’s #1 dining and entertainment<br />

destination and a mecca of entertainment in America.<br />

A three-level historic warehouse is transformed into a<br />

66,000 square foot live music and dance destination. The<br />

Wildhorse is simultaneously a restaurant, bar, concert<br />

site, dance venue and TV studio. Annually, more than 1.5<br />

million music fans stampede to <strong>the</strong> Wildhorse to have a<br />

great meal, catch <strong>the</strong> hottest in live entertainment and<br />

learn <strong>the</strong> newest dance steps. Shuttle service is available<br />

from <strong>the</strong> Gaylord Opryland and <strong>Convention</strong> Center.<br />

Franklin Theatre<br />

The Franklin Theatre opened in <strong>the</strong> summer of 1937 when<br />

<strong>the</strong> marquee first illuminated Main Street. The downtown<br />

Franklin landmark closed in 2007 but <strong>the</strong> Heritage Foundation<br />

of Franklin, a nonprofit preservation group, stepped<br />

in to buy and rehabilitate <strong>the</strong> historic landmark. After three<br />

years of work, and an investment of more than $8 million,<br />

<strong>the</strong> historic Franklin Theatre reopened better than ever. It<br />

features classic movies and concerts from artists such as<br />

Little Texas, Jars of Clay, Mac McAnally and more.<br />

Sweet CeCe’s<br />

Sweet CeCe’s is a fun, colorful sweet treat spot offering<br />

a variety of fat-free frozen yogurt flavors. Kids love <strong>the</strong><br />

self-serve menu and <strong>the</strong> tantalizing toppings, from <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

favorite candy to old-school favorites such as hot fudge<br />

sauce, while adults love <strong>the</strong> fat-free yogurt and healthier<br />

toppings like fresh fruit.<br />

Nashville Sounds Baseball<br />

Take me out to <strong>the</strong> ball game! You can always ensure a<br />

great day at <strong>the</strong> ball field with <strong>the</strong> Nashville Sounds.<br />

Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum<br />

This museum highlights <strong>the</strong> history of country music from<br />

its birthplace in Music City to present day.<br />

Ryman Auditorium<br />

One of <strong>the</strong> most famous concert halls in <strong>the</strong> history of<br />

country music, this auditorium still hosts live music events.<br />

Hatch Show Print<br />

If you follow Sou<strong>the</strong>rn music, art and culture, from <strong>the</strong><br />

Delta blues to honky-tonk heroes, you’ve no doubt seen<br />

<strong>the</strong> unmistakable look of a promotional poster made by<br />

Hatch Show Print, one of <strong>the</strong> oldest working letterpress<br />

print shops in America. Located in a historic building at<br />

316 Broadway in <strong>the</strong> heart of downtown Nashville,<br />

Hatch Show Print has produced posters for performers<br />

ranging from B.B. King to Dolly Parton.<br />
