Geetings All! I spent the first hours of Christmas with Lois
Wattis, attending a birth for a first time mother. A baby boy born at
0430hrs in the water at home. A lovely way to start the day!.
Cheers, Mary M

Dear Jackie and listers
Tis now
Christmas morning and the sun is just rising in eastern Australia
while the local birds are singing in Sydney NSW (I can even hear a
duck in someone’s backyard that so far has escaped the oven) I
have had my “early Chrissie” celebrations with my children and
grandchildren (all currently interstate) and have just made a
cup of tea to start the day well with my mother before we get ready to
celebrate with the rest of our family here in Sydney.
Like
Jackie I can’t resist the early morning contact with my Apple Mac (also
pre-Christmas dusted) to see what the wide world of ozmidwifery tells
me and to send greetings to those I have not seen this year.
To
Jackie and all others like her who work tirelessly on behalf of pregnant
women with special needs I wish peace and happiness and
public recognition for what they have achieved in assisting Australian
maternity services adopt a more sensitive approach.
To
my colleagues at the ACMI who have put in so many
hours trying to get the PI insurance issue sorted out I wish a restful break
before returning to the challenge of having a fully insured membership in
the New Year.
To all ASIM members please hang on in there, the
homebirth community needs you. I hope and pray every year that the first
baby born in Australia will be one born into the loving hands of it’s family
at home. Although we get close we always seem to miss those one or two
seconds after midnight. Perhaps homebirth babies prefer to be
born under Christmas trees late on Christmas eve? After the
Christmas break I hope you have the strength to keep on lobbying your
local politicians for insurance solutions at state level and keep working
with the Maternity Coalition campaign at Federal level.
I
wish for IPMs and ALL Australian midwives to have a happily funded,
accredited and insured New Year.... so that all may know the pleasure and
satisfaction passed on to women through continuous care with their own
midwife.
And now I’m off to enjoy that cooled-down Christmas
cuppa with my mother, get the prawns and lobster ready to transport to my
brother and sister-in-law for lots of family togetherness and happiness.
Tomorrow we will be sitting on the cliff-tops wishing the sailors well as
they start their journey to Hobart.
To Jackie and all those in WA on
whom the sun will shortly be rising, have a great day and let’s all wish for
Peace on Earth for the New Year.
