And the whole mindset of having a rest with your other kids somewhere else escapes me. Fark yucko. >> I wouldn’t want to be away from my kids, but it’s because the problem lies far deeper than a matter of resting up at a hotel. It’s because far too many mothers do not have support, community and husbands working longer hours every week. They are desperate for a break, nurturing etc and they are not getting it. Need to work on the root cause of this not the symptoms. Big ask.

What about some equity of health care in this country? How about health funds pay for proper midwifery not bloody hotels. I think it's nauseating. Maybe if only SICK women, as opposed to BIRTHING women, were in hospital beds we wouldn't have a perceived need for luxury frigging hotels as a back up.

It is confusing to have two high profile people with the same name.  MM   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vedrana Valcic Sent: Wednesday, 20 September 2006 6:11 PM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] FYI news article   Where can I find out more about her marketing strategies? Midwives in Croatia would certainly appreciate info about effective marketing strategies. I found this site: http://www.carolineflint.co.uk/news/news.htm, but I don’t know if there is something more detailed.

We should copy her marketing strategies. MM Kelly says..If we want women to accept and value the midwife then it needs to be marketed better, it needs to be trendy and jazzed up! Not just a choice being two sides of the fence with opposing views as it is now. And they want to know what it will do for THEM and what THEY will get out of it. At the moment there are very many women who do not see birth as something that needs to be in the home or is safe in home – that’s just a fact which we have to work on.
