Yes...........I
know...........and how much easier would life be without those damned
'policiies' !!!!
It sometimes feels
like the KGB in Birth Suite, or is that just showing my age ?
Happy Birthing
!

Hi Brenda, Yep my thoughts were on the russian
women as I wrote that! Still, we have some policies that are not necessarily
based on current research, and I felt guilty asking her to get
out. Was also just reading Michel Odent's article that says to ensure
water temp is not too high due to increasing maternal and hence neonatal
temperature increases too much and therefore incresed needs for oxygen. I
guess in practice we all see this with incresed fetal heart
rates.
Emily, you will have to run it by the manager, I
am on for birthing suite, on this Saturday, Thurs 3rd and Sat 5th. Cant
guarantee much action though , has been pretty quiet lately!
We average about 25-35 a month

Diane,
Recent research has
indicated that water temp is irrelevant in stimulating the baby to breathe
whilst birthing through water.
It just keeps the
midwives busy doing something so they are out of the mother
way!!
Recent thread on
OZmid re this (water temp) very interesting. We have reviewed our
practice accordingly with no problems.
Logical when you
think of all the Russian experiences in the Baltic etc.......they don"t
drown & not a thermometer in sight.
Maternal comfort more
relevant I think.

Gee Emily, didnt think you med students would
have time to sit and watch the soapies! (or to admit to it!! ;-)
.
No didnt see it , but always an emergency on
the soaps. One show on Foxtel (? Love my Way, the one with Claudia Carven
) had a homebirth in the first episode, was a lovely straight forward
normal waterbirth in the kiddy pool in the trendy courtyard.
How is the Gosford placement going? Had a
lovely birth at Wyong this morning, but Mum got out of the bath cause it
was getting a bit mucky, I re ran the bath while she was in shower but
didnt pay attention to the temperature. When she got back in it was still
quite cool, then all of a sudden the bub decided to come down past the lip
that had persisted for 30 mins prior, so had to ask her to hop out of the
water cause it was too cold. Was thinking it might have been a bit of a
fetus ejection reflex in response to the cold water? Anyway had a lovely
4kg girl
Cheers
Di

hey
did anyone see the birth on home and away tonight (tuesday)
?? although it still came with the drama and devastation that
always seems to come with soap opera birth, i was amazed to see this
girl give birth outdoors on a rug with only her boyfriend helping. how
fantastic! although it was presented as being a terrible tragedy that
she didnt make it to hospital for her caesar, it was pretty cool for a
soapie !
well done home and away - just make the mum live next time :)
love emily

Hi Di,
I'm sure it will be fine for you to come and have a look
through. The Birth Centre number is: 49 686404.
Our appointment days are Tues-Thurs, but on Mon & Fri we may or
may not be there (doing home visits etc). Hope to catch up
with you.
Cheers
Hi to the Mackay Midwives,
I am going to be in Mackay for a few
days next month and wondering if I can come and see your Birth
Centre. Any suggestions on who to contact to arrange this. I am
interested in how different midwifery models arrange their work as
we are trying to get a caseload model up and running at Wyong
(near Gosford). My husband would love to move there too but Im not
sure I could handle the humidity!
Cheers,
Di.
