Would the pink kit be of any help perhaps? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Denise Hynd Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 8:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] broken collar bone & subsequent birth
Dear Bernie I suggest you do a bit of reading about how women can work with their babies and bodies and compared that with what happened? Start with Andrea's articles and books on active birthing (www.birthinternational.com.au) . Then you also need to look at what can and does happen with a caesarian section Try the Birthrites (www.birthrites.org.au) sites to begin and then you may be at least be trying to make an informed decision about what you want for yourself and your baby. If you decide you want to work for a VBAC then you need to find some one who has expereince in helping women acheive that!!
