Re: [ozmidwifery] Oxytocin & Trust

[Denise Hynd]

That explains something of the differences of wording as I heard  a discussion on the breakfast show as I said which talked of the relationship of Oxytocin and trust   I still await their response(Breakfast)  which I will reprompt again   The other relationship which needs to be considered as it is counter to production of oxytocin is the influence of fear, anxiety and the resulting levels of adrenaline in pre-or labouring women!   Meanwhile all of these ideas, theories, discussions confirm for me how fragmented care which ignores or negates the emotional input and influences, produces all these labours which go "over dates", fail to  progress etc despite the input of artificial prostaglandins and oxytocin.   Similarly when we arbitrarily add artificial oxytocin to women who are near to labour they have overwhelming intense contractions and labours!!   Midwifery being with women requires that we understand and work with the woman holistically including her emotional states and influences. In fact it is the central skill of midwives as the majority of women in a supportive environment can give birth with litlle else that is why MIPPS have such outstanding and positve outcomes compared to the hospital based birth in our community Compare the rates of women who have no intervention births eg; 80% plus of CMWA to 12% NSW Mothers and Babies!
