Re: [ozmidwifery] Reducing C/S rates

2003-07-30 Thread Mary Murphy



Thanks Deb, I actually have never seen this email.  It is a 
really practical list of things that could be done by midwives in any hospital 
anywhere, including the Ventouse training.  When I was in Papua New Guinea 
in the 70's, the indiginous midwives were being trained in Ventouse 
extraction.  We are a long way behind our under developed countries aren't 
we? Cheers, MM


[ozmidwifery] not midwifery topic

2003-07-30 Thread Jo & Dean Bainbridge



Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone would like to 
explore an option this Christmas...
Dean and I are going to Bendigo for Christmas and I 
was just wondering if anyone would like to 'house swap' over the Christmas 
period?  We have a four bedroom house in the Adelaide hills which is a 20 
minute drive from Adelaide city.  I was just trying to work out 
accommodation and was stunned at how much even caravan parks charge these 
days!  It got me thinking that SO many people I talk to, in my alternate 
life of working in a shop, that how many people in Adelaide have friends 
and family who have moved to central Vic...and thought maybe someone else might 
like to come to Adelaide for Christmas but cant afford it.  We have three 
children but currently I don't really have any reserves about where we are or 
how big the place is (remember I was considering a caravan!!  ARG!)  
Ideally we will be spending our trip in the Central Vic area (Bendigo, 
Daylesford, Maldon, Castlemaine etc); but we are going to be going to Melbourne 
too.
On the topic, if there is anyone who would like to 
catch up for a coffee when I am over there let me know!
Sorry that this is not a midwifery topic, just 
thought I would abuse the list for my own selfish reasons!!

Re: [ozmidwifery] OP & ARM

2003-07-30 Thread Jo & Dean Bainbridge



Anne, 
I have looked at this topic in the past and am 
trying to find the studies I used.  There was one thread that was common 
that an AROM in a OP labour caused fetal distress as the cushioning effect of 
membranes which allowed baby to rotate was removed and put pressure on bubs head 
and made rotating harderI will get back to you on this one.  I have a 
found a number of articles looking at AROM with increased rates of cs but they 
don't specify if the baby was OP.

Dear all
I wish to share this amazing birth story, which once again confirms my faith in women, esp.
after a recent spate of  3 Post partum haemorrhages.  
A woman (primip) who came to see me 2 months ago, wanting a homebirth, because the doctor at the hospital wanted to induce her at 32 weeks for growth retardation!!! progressed through a very normal healthy pregnancy giving birth vaginally with an intact perineum to a strong and healthy 3.3 kg baby at 41 weeks,  she is indeed very proud of herself and is feeling enormously empowered.  Her mother who accidentally attended the birth (another story) recognised my voice and name as being her midwife at the Crown street Birth centre 22 years ago.  How amazing to now be catching grandchildren!!!

'Thought you all might be interested in a recent posting on an NCT list

Tooting, London.  Yet another example of how a different approach to 
childbirth can make a difference."I think Gail posted a message a while ago 
saying how St George's have recently cut their CS rate dramatically (about 5%) 
through a variety of methods, but including abolishing the CTG admission trace, 
and because there is a consultant midwife, supported by the head of midwifery, 
who is promoting a culture of normal birth.80% of women at George's are 
booked with community teams.  All women are presumed to be low-risk and 
booked for midwifery-led care, and don't see a consultant at all, unless the 
midwives looking after them decide to make a referral, or transfer them for 
consultant-led care.  The midwives are keen to promote home births, 
and women having home births are made a priority so that women are not told to 
come in to the hospital at the last minute due to staff shortages.St 
Georges have just won the APPG (All Party Parliamentary Group) on Maternity 
award for the most increased normal birth rate."
