Dear Mary, what a joy! Congratulations to all of you :-)
and what a template for our birthing services...may all women enjoy/have an environment of loving care set up by midwifery "mothers", with the healthy sense of self and respect for others and their process/growth implicit in your modelling, so births can unfold in their individual perfection - roll on NMAP!
with deepest love and respect, Carolyn Hastie

Good News! My daughter has FINALLY given birth. 19 days post dated U/s & more by LMP. Gabriel was born after a gentle 6hr labour and waterbirth at 1800hrs 10/8/02 weighing in at 5.2kgs. ( I think about 11lbs 4oz.) Beautiful healthy placenta, 800gms, 200mls blood loss. No oxytocin, no tears or grazes. Apgars 7 & 10. No resusc needed (except for midwife/grandma) Many thanks for the support of my wonderful midwife friend Susanjane Morison. Cheers, Mary Murphy
Dear Mary
What a wonderful grandmother you are!
Please pass on my congratulations to your daughter for a job well done.
What a labour of love it must have been for all of you.
All power to the women of the west!
Much love
Jan
