Thanks Justine! I would love more awareness being cranked up, and would happily accommodate any articles on BellyBelly aimed at the birthing women and / or the men that are by their side.
One thing we found really useful (unfortunately too late) was having the bed adjusted into a seat position and up above our level - so the bedhead vertical, her sitting on the middle piece with her feet on the footpart of the bed (no idea on terms!). She was up quite high and felt more power, I think - was definitely more relaxed. She just kept telling me how much she liked it there and I think was shocked when she quickly had to go off to theatre, as she seemed to have found a groove. Will try that next time too.

Just think of the 1 in 4 woman who have experienced some form of assault/abuse. I soldier on knowing that 1-2-1 midwifery care would make such a huge difference to these women, as it did me. I must speak to Liz Mullinar again and see if we can crank some awareness up on this one. I hope this Mum settles well into new mothering.
