Dear Sharon, I'm curious to know where you work? Melissa. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of sharon Sent: Friday, 1 December 2006 11:46 To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] independent midwifery I am an hospital based midwife and I believe that I do give evidence based care, the hospital that I work for is working on a homebirth standard presently and the group practice will soon be able to offer women homebirths provided the individual midwife is confortable to offer this service. The individual midwives in the DE are quick to develop rapport with their women and they also are good at getting to know the women and their needs. I dislike people on this list who consitantly run down hospital based midwives and the care that they provide can people please remember that IMP is not for everyone although it is a good way to develop and maintain your skills. cheers -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jo Bourne Sent: Friday, 1 December 2006 8:28 AM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] independent midwifery > It puzzles me too. Why choose an evidence based carer and then take > them > somewhere they can't provide you with it? Because if you know you have a higher than average change of NEEDING a hospital if might be nice to have someone who knows you, cares about you and will actually give you evidence based advice while you are there. Women in this situation need an ipm MORE not less if you ask me... Even my midwife confessed (after the magical homebirth) that she had expected me to end up in hospital with a medical extravaganza given my health issues. Without my midwife not only would there not have been the option of homebirth if I made it to term healthy, there probably would have been almost no chance of even a remotely natural birth in hospital, for a whole host of reasons I haven't time to explain right now. Planning a home birth should not be a requirement of hiring an IPM. -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
