That sounds wonderful Emily. I 'assume' is was a known/planned breech birth?? The last one at our hospital was an undiagnosed multi who was fully, raced to theatre in order to 'save' mum and babe!! Arhh!! It is certainly a dying art.

yepo mine is sent off too Jan.
BTW, this morning at 5am i was at a lovely vaginal breech birth and a new little black haired girl came in to the world on the night of the full moon. this was the first breech baby i had seen born - except for videos! - and i was amazed how quick it all was. about 3 hrs 1st stage and 18 mins of pushing. and an 8 pound 5 girl.
perfect!

Hi Nicole and all
I believe I wrote this letter some time ago. I am unsure where it has resurfaced from!!
Tony Abbott embarrassed? Who cares.
The update on the Medicare safety-net is.
It was purely from Obstetricians hiking their fees (70% in 12 months!!) that blew the safety net out. So what does the responsible Howard Government do?
Doe they rope in Obstetricians gross increase? No
They punish the poorest Australian�s and increase the safety net from $300 to $500.
Remember this 70% increase only represents care for 30% of Australian women (as that�s how many private Obs care for).
Rural women pay as taxpayers for Medicare to receive no service (within Cooee). While they subsidise Australia�s wealthiest specialists a! nd women.
So Tony Abbott has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to curb spending by Obs. I would hazard a guess that the majority of women accessing Private Ob services were not within the $300 safety net bracket anyway, they would of been in the higher $700 bracket. So this is an absolute JOKE, and Mr Abbott needs to know we are on to him. I think Fed Treasurer Costello needs a visit too!!
