Great idea, Jo. I hope you or
others persue it further. Had a chuckle about "hog tying the 2 year
old". Reminds me of when my kids were little....my sister (older and
wiser than me) used to refer to it as "the hook on the wall stage" - i.e. if
you could just hang them up for a while out of harms way all would be
well. Keep up the great work, Cheers, Lois

not that I want to admit that I watch the
show...but as Neighbours just happened to be on last night...I noticed that
there always needs to be some dramtic event that surrounds birth on tv soap
drama. I know that there were babies born recently on home and away
but I certainly dont watch that! So I am unaware of the dramas that
were involved with these bubs 'births'...no doubt some dramatic birth with
mum in the 'beetle' position (thanks Jackie) screaming and doctors running
around etc.
SO...
why dont we write to the soaps and ask them to
consider the next bubby being born calmly withot drama at home or at least
with a midwife providing care? If we are trying to get it through to
the adverage 'Jane'...then why not use this sort of medium? Always run
the risk of it being made into a life threatening event though. At
least we could stress how damaging it is to society to perpetuate the myth
of childbirth being shrouded in danger and trauma that cant be done without
doctors?
just a thought...
going back to hog tie my children. Just
kidding...only the two year old.
