Re: [ozmidwifery] Update Belmont Birthing Service

[Helen and Graham]

That's great news Carolyn!  Can you share your stats with us.  i.e. how many spontaneous vaginal births, transfers etc.  I am expecting them to be pretty impressive.  Also are you still getting plenty of support from the powers that be?   Thanks in advance.   Helen Cahill ----- Original Message ----- From: Heartlogic To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2006 9:27 AM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Update Belmont Birthing Service Dear all,   I'm delighted to let you all know that Belmont Birthing Service midwives have now had the pleasure of being present to the 100th baby born on site!   All mothers and babies well and happy, despite the rhetoric around the opening of the service.      Our service has been opened for one year on the 4th July and that is another BIG milestone. Everyone is starting to think that maybe we (our service) is safe and that we are going to stay around  :-)   The Belmont Birthing Service midwives are going to the Homebirth conference.  I'm staying home to be on call with one of the midwives, but everyone else is going to Geelong! They are a fabulous group of people who have made big leaps from a medical model way of practising to a social model of women centered midwifery and they have been and are brilliant.   viva midwifery  :-)   love, Carolyn Hastie       __________ NOD32 1.1621 (20060624) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
