Lemay Well it must have been the moon then last Friday my colleague and I went to see a woman for an antenatal appt, all well at 39 weeks, and then 30 minutes later SROM while we were on our way to the next appt, 40 minutes of labour, hubby rushing through the door, no equipment, kids scissors boiling in a pot on the stove, cord ties thrown together with embroidery thread, baby born in the spa!  Lovely, but what a rush for all!   Tania x   From: owner-ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au [mailto:owner-ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au] On Behalf Of Gloria Lemay Sent: Tuesday, 19 July 2005 3:25 AM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Things/g. Lemay   Congratulations, Mary!  Last Thurs night I attended a face presentation where the little mentum anterior face/head just sat there turning purple for way longer than I needed.  Same thing, tincture of time and it rotated and squooshed into Dad's hands with only 1/2 inch tear.  That must have been some crazy midwife moon!  Gloria ----- Original Message ----- From: Mary Murphy To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Monday, July 18, 2005 5:24 AM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Things/g. Lemay   Hi Gloria, remember I said I would ask the mother about posting her C/S Lotus Placenta on Midwifery Today?  She said it is fine with her.// Re the delay with the head before birth of the body?   Lieve said it might be the moon?   A week ago I was 2nd midwife at a lovely home waterbirth and guess what?  Baby’s head was born and 7 minutes later the body was born with the next available contraction.  It did seem like a long time and the primary midwife and I had to hold our mouths shut so we wouldn’t do the “just give a little push” instruction. All well. No  need to do anything except talk to the baby. Cheers, MM
