Oh MAN! The impact that the ridiculous 60 mins story has had is unbelievable.
Natalie and I held an Active Birth workshop this w/e and one of the woman piped up today and said she'd seen the segment. We had been talking about informed consent and suggesting that if all sorts of things were being offered to them in labour to ask for 5 mins alone to discuss with hubby or support people. The woman then said how she'd seen the segment and that what if the baby was in real danger (like Vanessa's) and she refused help for 5 mins to discuss with partner which rd to take and that the 5 mins cost the babies life....maybe she should just go for the c/section!?!?!? Soooo p****d off! jo -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cheryl LHK Sent: Sunday, 6 June 2004 1:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ozmidwifery] Ann Peacock defends Liz & Tracey Reading my paper over breakfast, we find a half page spread from Ann Peacock (Herald Sun - Melbourne, p 118) giving full credit to 60 mins and co. And from her personal experience having had a emergency LUSCS for her first child, naturally with the safety of No 2 baby in mind, booked straight in for another LUSCS!
