It was apparently stimulated by a recent survey in > the UK that stated that most women find childbirth a terrifying experience, > the pain being worse than they aniticipated and 6 out of 10 said that > antenatal classes did not prepare them for the reality, in any way! > Debbie Jeffs from the Womens and Childrens hospital and Vanessa Scriven from > South Coast Yoga both did a fantastic job of responding to this survey and > to callers. Well done! The message about continuity of care, midwife care, > and women being in charge is getting out there I hope its reaching its > target! > The only listener I heard (because I was travelling & reached my destination > unfortunalety!) was very down to earth - birthed some years ago with both > babies having a cleft lip/palate and said she didn't go into hospital early > so that she "could avoid the enemas and shaves and be in charge!" And said > that she was glad that she isn't birthing now because she wouldn't like to > have to cope with monitors etc. > If anyone out there knows where to access the survey results - any ideas at > all would be great. > > Christine Walker > Community Health Nurse > DHS > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > (08) 83258100 > > > This email may contain confidential information, which also may be legally > privileged.
