Hi Rhonda,
You have just jogged my memory. There is a mum who has written a couple of long stories on my website forum - she has experienced very sad effects of birth trauma, you may be able to offer her some empathy -anyone else -all comments welcome. It is great to see women feeling free to let it go from their hearts but Im not sure whether there is anything else which may help.  I certainly hear that she needs validation after how her trauma affected her bonding experience and I have emailed her personally. I feel I dont want to turn the forum into a "dear pinky" nor do I have time to do lots of personal "counselling".
Thanks
Pinky

Hi,
I am not a midwife either, I am a however, mothercraft nurse and the wonderful women on this list have helped me in finding answers (and being able to understand that sometimes there are no answers) after my two traumatic birth experiences.)
If you are needing someone to talk to about how to 'complain' without taking legal action etc.  Please feel free to contact me.  Either on or off list
 
 
So welcome.
 
Also, have you found the birthrites site - also very helpful and Australian.  Have not go the address at hand right now - I am sure someone will though if you need it.
 
Regards
Rhonda

Greetings.

May I introduce myself firstly by telling you up front that I am not a
midwife, doula or
obstetric professional. I was however a registered nurse, have had five
babes and have plenty of questions and thoughts regarding birth.
A friend of mine who lectures in midwifery suggested this list as a good
place to be.
I had a hideous birth experience in January (the chance of it happening
again is supposed to be greater then 1 in 1,000,000) and though I do not
wish to sue my ob, I still need some answers that he can't / won't give me.
But before I launch into my story I thought I should check it out with you
guys first to see if you are happy to have me around.
I will understand if you think that this is an inappropriate place for me to
be.

TIA, Sonia.

PS. I am an Australian and I was a member of the Ican list. I left it
because I really needed local 'talk'. KWIM?
