I found the forceps story interesting - my sister has 4
children
her first delivered vaginally at 36weeks (P/E) But she delivered
vaginally although she was a bit sick and baby was a nice
little 5lb 13oz. - Now - Fine - super inteligent excellerated
learning program etc. Very smart girl.
Her second was delivered via forceps - f/t - has behaviour problems
ADHD short term memory is very poor - learning difficulties. Very hard
to handle girl.
Third - natural vaginal deliver f/t fine normal child - another
lovely girl
Fourth - c/s after long labour CPD He has speach
difficulties. A smart boy but is still at almost 7 hard to
understand and has limited concentration/ communication skills.
Both natural almost unassisted deliveries have no problems - the
forceps has most difficuties followed by the c/s.
there must be something in this.
Regards
Rhonda

Subject:
[ozmidwifery] dimensions - violent birth
Thanks to whoever sent the
transcript.
I have since inundated the ABC dimensions
with my comments and request for help to get the message
across.
aaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!!
Its just too much to bear
sometimes.
Just yesterday, a fellow student and I were
chatting after doing some work. She has a 15 yr
old.
Horrible, violent birth (the usual)
After about 18 months, she returned to the hospital to discuss what had
happened to her. That helped her a bit but she still
grieves. No more children followed.
In actual fact, I make it a point to know
birth stories from every woman I know - (I should collect them for a
book or something)
Oh and here's another.
Discussing NMAP, violent birth vs humanized birth etc. as usual with all
and sundry....
one woman at work was listening so intently
and I thought, "hello, there's something here".
On asking, it turned out that her third
child, at full dilatation had cord prolapse. Big emergency, she
said. Upside down and then hauled out with forceps.
She was advised my a very wise woman, to
provide excess sensory stimulation to enable/create neurophysiological
recovery caused by damage due to forceps.
Very thankful she did that, because as a
toddler it helped him develop normally.
He's 18 now, but has a very 'dark'
side. ie suicidal thoughts.
