Re: [ozmidwifery] ARM at crowning

[Lisa Barrett]

Previous mail said,   I've caught two babies in the caul this year - I thought they looked like little 'aliens' waving and bobbing around  - and the membranes were so tough!!!! Admittedly one bub's mum was HIV +ve, and that was why no ARM was indicated - but we even manage it in our large tertiary unit!!!     It's lovely that this happens in a large tertiary unit but isn't it a shame you have to have HIV before you can no indication for ARM,   Lisa
