[ozmidwifery] Intro

[Jennifairy]

Hi all, just a short (hopefully!) intro. Ive been away from the list for 
the last 2 or 3 years whilst doing my BMid here in SA - study tended to 
take over my life & keeping up with the volume of mail from here was 
just too much!
Anyways, Im finished/registered/the 'real deal' now, a RM of the first 
cohort of 'direct entry' midwives in Australia, now apprenticing with a 
MIPP on my way to fulfilling 'the dream'.... and *really* enjoying my 
life now that Im not under the study thumb!
Im madly trying to get my 'kit' together, & in the market for a 
waterproof doppler. What Im asking for from you gals (& maybe guys) is 
what you use/would recommend brand-wise. Ive only ever used Huntleighs 
in the hospitals Ive done placements at, but there are some others out 
there & wondering if anybody can 'give me the goss' - the Huntleighs are 
currently around $900+ so I need to know Im making the right decision! I 
havent started earning 'real money' yet so this is a big buy for me. Ive 
managed to find forcep clamps & a fabulous digital fishing scale for 
baby weighing on EBay (yeah, Ive become an EBay groupie now that I have 
the time....), but if anyone has ideas/contacts etc for other stuff Id 
be really happy to hear from you (for eg, where do I get wooden 
pinards?). I need everything!
cheers & thanx in advance
