This is such crap that a supposed professional such as a DON
would think that it is better for no one to catch the baby that
an
eminently capable midwife. The joke is that if they didnt know you were
a midwife then they would suck up your #### to try and cover their a##es that
nobody was there when they should have been.
I have decided that I am
going to ask all clients to join the maternity coalition ( why I already
haven't I have no idea) and get them all activated. They are all horrified
that I am being subjected to this crap and I am going to encourage them to use
their frustration.

Good luck Brenda,
Many
moons ago when I was a MIPP, a client of mine had her baby at
Mornington...I 'accidently' caught the baby as the midwife assigned to us
was too busy doing other things. I was hauled in front of the DON and given
a good dressing down for daring to touch the baby, even
though there could have been consequences had I not done so!!

Andrea,
I
do work at Rosebud (Peninsula Health Network) & what you say applies
across
the networks campuses(also at The Bays in Mngtn Private).
That
is : a MIPP is only able to accompany women as a support person,not act
as
accoucher, nor act in any legal capacity ( to do with insurance).
It
actually depends on the staff on shift as to how much involvement I have
in
the birth, but as my main concern is the labour support I'm not fussed
who
does the 'catching' but I have found that if (I positively encourage)
Dads/Partners
to do the catch it gets around the issue of who is the
accoucher. At
Rosebud it's mainly Dads/Partners who catch babies no matter
who
the MW is. At the other 2 units it depends a good deal on who's on.
But
the legal stance of the hospitals is as you've stated.
Insane
because I am employed by Rosebud as a MW on bank & left a senior CSM
pos'n
there only 6 months ago after 16 years with the network.
Have
applied to all 3 places for accreditation.......... not interested, all
legal
jargon.
Peninsula
Private ( Frankston) did accredit me but I have few births there
as
the OBs I work with don't use that
hosp.
I
have never actually seen a policy laying the facts out, but I'm on night
duty
at Rbud tonight, I'll have a good look for you.
I
applied again to The Bays whilst working there part-time in 2002 & got
the
same
response..........no go.
Got
sick of trying & gave up, I had planned to give it another go shortly.
Cheers
Brenda.
