Only 6 Obs in Melbourne- what a load of crock. This
man certainly has an entertaining use of statistics. Maybe he only knows of 6
Obs within his sphere. Melbourne is a big place
Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery]So the twins
plot thickens
Thought you all might like to know what is
happening with my twins mum. Thankyou so much for your input. When the couple
came again last night my mum was so much more relaxed. Your emails helped her
immensley and she was back to the nice relaxed mum again. Even very confident
as well.
Her husband has been attending the last
couple Ob visits with her and the Ob hasn't been as intimidating when he
was there. Apparently last visit on Monday he got out of his chair and went to
the door 3 times to usher them out, probably thought he had finished so they
had to be too. Her husband piped up and said we haven't finished asking you
questions yet. He sat back down in his chair. Yea good on ya Dad!
He is still telling her that he wants her to have
an epidural early so that he can manually turn the second twin if need be thus
avoiding a cs. Keeps saying that he has only ever needed to do a cs once and
has been able to successfully turn the other baby to be born naturally. (his
idea of naturally is quite a bit different to mine - apparently his naturally
means vaginally). With her hubby and myself at the birth she has 2
labour ward guardians in case he tries to pull any swiftys (I will be very
aware of the medical needs though if they should arise). Did I read somewhere
on this site that you can support the uterus after the first twin is born so
that the second is in a better position and less likely to go transverse or
breech?
This has been very much a learning experience for
me and thanks to you guys I have a much better understanding of twin births
now. The Ob was saying that there are only 6 Ob's in Melbourne that will
"allow" a natural birth. How sad! I certainly understand why mums are so
pleased to have home births.
Why do we have to fight soooo hard to have what
is rightfully ours. A beautitful birth like nature intended. I am not being
naive when I say that as I know that sometimes circumstances arise but
gees..........do those circumstances have to be so programmed in. Being an NLP
practitioner I know only too well how we are programmed for things to
happen and they are not always a positive programming.
