  I worked as something similar to this in 
  London, where it is called a maternity nurse, I was employed 
  through nanny agencies mostly. Maybe that would be a good starting 
  place.
  However, to work as a maternity nurse it 
  was not necessary to be a midwife or even a nurse for that matter, it was 
  sometimes just young girls with baby experience. So she should set out with a 
  clear mind as to what qualifications she wishes the person to have. The job 
  was live in, and was mostly baby orientated i.e.: bathing, feeding etc, but 
  some small housework was involved, usually just by being a member of the 
  household as opposed to job title.

  Dear Listers 
  
  
  
  
  I have a client single mum 1st 
  babe looking for helpwith every thing after babe .any 
  contacts
  
  She is birthing in a private 
  hospital in May and lives in Port Melbourne in Victoria 
  jan
  
  This is 
  what she wrote  
  
  "My mom 
  told me that after she gave birth, she had somebody who stayed with her and 
  helped with the baby and the house work and all that. She called this 
  person a nurse maid. I thought that perhaps this would be a doula. 
  But, I've looked on the internet for information on doulas and they seem to be 
  birth partners".HoweverI have you as my birth attendant. 
  
  
  ' 
  
  
  
  
  Who is 
  it who can stay with me and give me after birth support when I get home? 
  Where do I look for this information? 
  
  
  
  Because 
  the biggest thing I seem to be combatting is the isolation, I think this 
  is important to get handled. I spoke to my ob/gyn and she doesn't know 
  much about doulas. Can you tell me how to go about arranging this after 
  birth support.

Hi Ladies,

I have just received my copy of Susan Stark's new magazine called 
Natural Parenting. It is an excellent read and promotes natural and 
self reliant approaches to pregnancy, birth and child rearing. There 
is also an article in the first one about NMAP and the push for the 
introduction of more widely supported midwifery services.

If you want more info about it Sue has set up a website at www.naturalparenting.com.au.

She is also looking for submissions. Myself and a midwife friend 
are going to be sending in some articles about birth interventions based on 
evidence based medicine so the readers of the magazine at least have some 
opportunity to make a truely informed choice - but if any of the rest of you 
have a particular interest area that you would like to write about with an 
aim to provide mums and mums to be with information and advice then send 
your manuscript to Sue - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This magazine is a refreashing alternative to the ones currently 
available I really hope it takes off.

Many thanks

"I am currently 26 weeks pregnant with my third child,first in 
the district of Taree. I am desperately seeking the services of a midwife or 
doula for the home birth I am planning. Can you offer any contact for me to try. 
Everything appears to be failing at present. If I were to go ahead with 
the homebirth with me and my partner only is there any way of obtaining after 
birth treatment without having to travel into hospital i.e.cord clamp and the 
injection I have for Rhesus neg blood??"

prevent neonatal hypoglycaemia. This appeared to be helpful for gestaional, type

[ozmidwifery] NO CASE TO ANSWER!

2002-12-18 Thread Jan Robinson
Dear list

With a sigh of relief I heard some good news today that led me to give a
heartfelt cheer for independent midwifery, the clients of independent
midwives and especially for Maggie Lecky-Thompson who has always been a
champion of independent midwifery.

Today the court decreed that Maggie had NO CASE TO ANSWER to the allegations
that she was continuing to hold herself out to be a midwife.

I hope Maggie has her merriest Christmas ever as she soaks up the abundant
love and support that her family provides.
 
Best wishes from her friends and colleagues of ASIM and HBA.
