WOW Tania, Congratulations to all, the flinders BMids are all blown away (I don’t think I missed telling anyone LOL) I can’t would love to watch the video just to see the look on your face when those little feet came out!   CHEERS, Julie Garratt (:   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom, Tania and Sam Smallwood Sent: Monday, 20 October 2003 4:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ozmidwifery] first catch at home...   Well I'm quite elated and a little bit tired, after being called out at 3am this morning, and then my Midwife colleague being called away for another birth (isn't that something that never happens...?), I caught my first baby as a RM, at home, and this baby decided to come into the world feet first.  WOW!!  Can't tell you how many things were going around in my head during the birth, but I think I remained calm on the exterior, or so I'm told!  Result - 3.4kg baby girl, 2 3/4 hour established labour, SROM in water with some fresh thin mec, and then out came the feet, stood up, body, arms, and then after one little push, a gorgeous round 36cm head, all caught on video by a wonderful friend of the woman.  And I was wonderfully supported by a midwife friend who came to act as a spare pair of hands/photographer, water carrier.....what a joy and comfort it was to share it with her!   Gotta sleep, but wanted to share, what an amazing experience for us all!!   Tania --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
