Hi Andrea - yes, now that I know Lara and Pat's families have spoken to the media, I can say yes it's the one you visited. They have had such a difficult time with the media, and their privacy wishes have had to be respected (you have no idea what lengths the media will go to to get a story). Regards, Lynne

Lynne, Just reading between the lines that private hospital on the sunshine coast that was reported as the one where the famous tennis star and his wife chose to birth their baby wouldn't be one I've visited would it?

a woman in my singing group is planning a vbac ... I just heard she visited her Gp today only to be told she would HAVE to have a CS as she has a haemorrhoid and it may rupture and she may bleed to death!
 
I'll be seeing her tomorrow...

Subject: [ozmidwifery] vbac & birth centres again

Alright, sorry listers it is that time again when I get really pis*&d about vbac exclusions from birth centres again.  Sorry to harp but I have to vent!!
 
Why is it that my right to chose an elective surgery for reasons not based on medical evidence is adhered to without further questions or dispute and that right to choose what happens to my body is backed by society.  But if I want to exercise that same right, but to chose a vbac and a vbac that is not medically managed, I am flatly denied. 

Tell me this is not discrimination!


SOME of us have the right to chose, SOME of us gain the support for our choice, SOME have the last say in our care...
but as long as it suits policy!
Why is it that if someone wants to birth by cs due to fears of complications that occurred last time, this is considered a valid reason.  but if I say I don't want continuous monitoring based on the inaccuracy of ECG readouts and their direct influence of increasing the cs rate...that is not good enough to be respected and supported???
PLEASE! Some one tell me what is wrong with this!!!!!
 
I am disgusted and saddened by Flinders Medical Centres decision to not allow vbac in its birth centre.  It is a sad loss for vbac women....
midwives, lets hope there is a resolve to the insurance issues, cause I know for sure that if vbac is continued to be refused from BC then home birth vbacs will be on the rise.
