Hi Kirsten I'm a BMid student also and I have to agree with the others about asking questions. Someone told me once that 'the only silly question is the one you don't ask'. During my 21/2 years as a mid student I've referred to this quote many, many, many times!!!

I must admit, I feel a bit silly for having posted it now though - all part of the learning curve! :) It is good to know that this rupturing is very rare, and reading your responses has made me think about the care we can give in a totally different way. I would never have thought about the induced labour causing unnatural contractions, nor would I have thought that avoiding drugs would help a woman be aware of the different pain she may experience, and being able to use that understanding of the pain to potentially identify something going wrong. Oh so much to learn! I am really grateful that this group exists and is open to 'Learner Drivers' like myself, and allows questions and comments without derision! > > Re the 'choking' - that may have been a very bad choice of words from the woman who told me the story, and I didn't stop to think about how illogical it was. I wonder if it was just that the blood was stopped from getting to the brain? Or the stress of the pressure? What would be the likely reason? > > Thanks again for your help. I will definately follow up those links you sent Abby!! Thank you, thank you. > > Kirsten > -- > This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. > Visit <http://www.acegraphics.com.au> to subscribe or unsubscribe. > -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
