Hi Julie,
I have been doing Pilates for a couple of years now and really find it
makes a difference in my abilities to sustain midwifery work. I had lots
of SI problems resulting from having kids and carrying them around on my
hip (they were little fatties). I have far fewer problems now and
Funny you should ask that right now. We have two mum's in care with
previous 4th degree tears.
( One of these happened a couple of years ago while under my care - as
prime with large baby but no other concerns, just happened. I had two in
one week and am hoping I will never see another. She al
Pilates is great for ab/back and pelvic floor strengthening! Have any of
you been to a Feldenkrais Pelvic Power workshop? I highly recommend
it. You may be able to find more info by searching the internet for either
"Pelvic Power" or "Feldenkrais. I have a friend in Brisbane who teaches
it.
These are both interesting stories. I am particularly interested in the
midwifery birth centres in NSW. Could someone please explain to me why
midwives will need to "renew their credentials every three years?" What
will be the process for this? In Canada where we have "midwifery led
care"
I am very late in on this thread and haven't read all of the e-mails on the
topic. I like mooing. In Canada, I talk to mums about bellowing like a
moose. Roaring is also good. Had a mum recently who was a real roarer,
and in fact explained to her 5 year old that she was having a good time

I agree with Mary that 60 women per month is not feasible as a caseload. I
am also experienced working in this model. Here in Manitoba we are
expected to carry at least 30 women per year. This lower number was set to
compensate for the fact that we are to "target" women who might most

Great thought, Mary.

Thank you to all who replied about the cord around the neck query of mine.
Hi Jo,
Have you seen the WHO paper "Hypoglycemia of the Newborn" ? (I think that
is the name of it and I think can be found on the WHO website). Very
helpful for establishing guidelines around blood glucose testing and treatment.

which is kind of a bummer as I do find that sometimes it is disruptive to

Nitrous oxide is used in Canada, perhaps not as widely as it used to be
because people pretty well go straight for the epidural now . However it is
still here for use. Women are usually told it has no effect on the
baby.sigh.

will be sorry to lose my connection to Australian midwives. This is a plea
to be careful about spreading things around ...
Thank You,

Hello Oz midders,
I have been following the thread of turning breeches with moxibustion with
interest. Recently we had a woman in our practice with a frank breech at
33 weeks. I tried moxibustion at 36 weeks. Baby didn't turn and she had a
c-section. This was the first time I had tried moxi
Hi Marilyn and Macha,
I can sympathise with the plight of birthing women who live in rural or
remote locations. In Canada, we face similar issues. Many rural hospitals
do not do obstetrics and women in my region regularly travel 1-2 hours in
labour to a larger centre to give birth. Women fro
Joy,
I agree with you one hundred percent. Until it is shown that outcomes from
home labours and births after previous cesarean could be improved upon by
hospitalization, women should be supported in making choices they feel will
give them the healthiest outcome. Monitoring the well being of

Hi Jan,
I have helped a woman with severe scoliosis. Her curvature was in the
upper back. She underwent surgery for it when she was young but she still
has a very obvious curvature. She doesn't have a rod in her back as far as
I know. In our discussions around her history she did not verbali
Hi Judy,
Although exercise in pregnancy means way more than pelvic floor exercises

weekend. It is highly likely you Ozzies know about it already as it
was developed in Brisbane. It was taught by a friend of mine who
now lives in
Hi Marilyn,
Great that you are off to Sydney soon. I am so longing to do the same. Do
you have midwifery work lined up there? I am interested to hear how things
unfold for you when you arrive. Is this a return to home for you or an
adventure in a new land?
To all you oz midders... I am wantin

to blame some one sounds so civilized.
