You will Kim
One day a little breech baby will seek you out
and you'll be fine supporting it's mother.
Make sure you all support
this student and buy her a copy of Maggie Banks book Breech Birth Woman-Wise
so she knows there is another way.

Hi again
Not
sure what happened in theatre as I only heard about it afterwards but it
sounded pretty straight forward after the initial panic and getting to
theatre before mum birthed her baby herself. What was really
disappointing is the two people involved - a clinical nurse educator and
student midwife. I don't blame the student at all but
think someone supposedly experienced enough to be in a teaching role,
should have known better and acted accordingly...... Afterwards the
student was very overwhelmed and the nurse educator repeatedly kept saying,
thank god we got her to theatre and saved her!!! I was completely
speechless about the whole event. What message does this student take
away from this situation and how will this affect her future midwifery
practice???
I've
never been fortunate enough to be present at a breech birth but knowing
the mechanisms and rules of hands off etc, think that we would all be
capable of supporting mum to birth this baby herself. There is
always senior staff on hand but perhaps that is where the problem
lays? Just thinking out loud.
I
prey that I get to see this and vaginal twin birth before I retire.

Re: [ozmidwifery] ENDING GOVERNMENT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST MIDWIVES
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.

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 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!!
