[ozmidwifery] Weight Watcher's Magazine article

[Wayne and Caroline McCullough]

Title: Message

I was feeling unusually motivated this morning so I went to the newsagents and bought a copy of weightwatchers magazine then headed for the gym for a good workout. Well, to my great surprise there was a small article on caesareans which was very woman-friendly. It said that babies born by caesarean are at higher risk of allergies etc etc and that one in five Australian women give birth this way and that this is because of obs fear of litigation amongst a couple of other things... I thought it was because most women have badly shaped pelvises, can't cope with labour and have babies with big heads? Go figure : ).   Have a great day1   cheers a slightly fitter Cas. : )   Cas McCullough [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.casmccullough.com   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mary Murphy Sent: Thursday, 9 October 2003 10:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Looking for continuity of care Contact director of Midwifery,Lesley Kuliukas at Community Midwifery Programe W.A.
