RE: [ozmidwifery] ossification?

[Megan & Larry]

My Mum was induced for 3 babies 40 years ago for that rubbish,(head won't mould, baby too big, blah, blah, blah) some things don't change.   Contact the Osteopathic Association for some written proof, I'm sure they will have something for you. http://www.osteopathic.com.au/index.htm   good luck Megan   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Janet Fraser Sent: Monday, 21 November 2005 10:59 AM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] ossification? Robyn that's exactly what I think! But where is it written so it can be given as proof to mamas who don't know this stuff?

Hello Janet   The babies head does not 'ossify'! Just ask any chiropractor.......they are still soft and able to be manipulated for ages. I've never heard such a lot of rubbish. If you think about it, the fontanelles don't close for 6-18months,  to allow for brain growth. I think this Ob, is using his position to disadvantage the woman.   Robyn D ----- Original Message ----- From: Janet Fraser To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: 20 November, 2005 6:53 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] ossification? Hi all, Are there actually any studies into when/if it occurs? I've seen an increasing number of women lately being told they *have* to have an ERC at 41 weeks or the baby will be too rigid to mold. Puh-lease! Any good sources I can share about this?
