Re: [ozmidwifery] Informing Tracy

[Marilyn Kleidon]

Dear all:   It has also occurred to me that the way Tracy brought up the pelvic floor "issue" was as if this was a big secret. Now I am wondering if the general public (ie those that haven't had a baby vaginally) think all of us who have had babies vaginally are actually wearing diapers under our clothes. The incidence was not discussed just blind assertions.   marilyn ----- Original Message ----- From: Jo & Dean Bainbridge To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 31, 2004 1:39 AM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Informing Tracy I was wondering how effective it would be if we all wrote to Tracy Curo (news reader in Melbourne ...which station Melbournites?) and bombard this journalist with all the research that shows that cs does not save pelvic floors.  Perhaps a thousand wonderful birth stories of how amazing and fulfilling birthing a baby really is and so on might make her think. I can not believe this is a woman who calls herself a professional journalist!!! I know it is the same old same old with the media promoting crap, but perhaps we can enlighten this woman as well as 60 minutes.  She is a public figure and has put herself out there so why not aim for her! I am sure there are many wonderful birth stories we can send her!  I know I have a file full of research I am going to send her...by email and post if needs be! Jo
