Hi I have just joined ozmidwifery, I know I should have long before this, but I have been so busy, it has not been so much of a priority. However, since retiring last year from my 6 year homebirth practise in Sydney, I have spent the last 2 years working on my new 'baby' the birth.com.au website, which launched just before Christmas.
Essentially it is teaching childbirth education classes online, with an extensive reference libarary for parents (as well as interested health professionals). It covers everything from how to conceive, to breech, placenta previa, Diabetes in pregnancy (and many other health conditions), Hep B, Vitamin K, management of 3rd stage, breastfeeding problems, sleep and settle to when the baby is about 3 to 6 months old, ending with contraception for the parents. It is based on the latest research findings (and will be continually updated), written in an unbiased and 'informed decision making' format! We cover all aspects from partners concerns to "What to expect from your caregiver" at various stages of the pregnancy and labour, in the hospital setting, birth centre setting, and home birth setting. I have worked on this project with my close friend Sandra Robinson (an experienced childbirth educator). At present it has about 900,000 words worth of content and over 600 images (and growing). If there is anyone interested in having a free 24 hour passcode to view the subscribed content, they can contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Any feedback is welcome kind regards Catherine (Cate) Price -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
