Re: [ozmidwifery] ENDING GOVERNMENT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST MIDWIVES

[Emily]

yes this was very much a planned breech birth. we have a breech-very keen obstetrician and there have been 4 at that hospital this week including 2 breech twins. (this one was actually caught by the MW with him in the room)

the mum's attitude too, was such a huge part of it i think. she just thought 'why wouldnt i be able to birth her??' so she birthed her on the birth stool with no troubles :)
what happened once in theatre kim?

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.   Kiwi Kim     -------Original Message-------   From: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Date: 04/24/05 11:42:34 To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] ENDING GOVERNMENT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST MIDWIVES   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!

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 speciali! sts 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!!
