Mary,  You're not the only one not being able to connect to this website.
Anybody have any suggestions?

and I can't access this site either from my ISP in NZ Mary and
Claudia. I get the message that midwives.com.au cannot be found, please
check the name and try again.  That usually means it doesn't exist on the
computer servers that you are using.

It *may* be that yours and my Internet Service Provider (ISP) have been slow
to update their nameservers (computer servers which have domain name info on
them) if this is a new site then it can take up to 72 hours for a
website domain name to propagate around the world so that when someone types
the website name in (from whatever part of the planet they live) it turns up
on their computer screen

It says on www.domainwhitepages.com that this domain name was last modified
on 15th August so it is relatively new so it may be that the nameserver
information has only just been added in the last day or so and it is taking
a while for certain ISPs to update their records??  In another couple of
days we may be able to access it no worries.

This is just a suggestion - might not be that at all... if the site has been
up and running for a wee while, the nameservers should already be
up-to-date amazes me that the world wide web works at all - is very
complicated

[ozmidwifery] Maternity Coalition update

2004-09-09 Thread Denise Hynd
Dear All
In the leadup to the federal election Maternity Coalition encourage you to
speak to your sitting member and the candidates in your electorate about the
need for
reform of maternity services.
You know pregnancy and birth are not an illness, yet
our health system puts pregnant women at a serious disadvantage by treating
it as an illness. Women are increasingly being forced by both federal and
state government policy and funding into options of care that do not result
in best outcomes.  Mothers who want to give birth without unnecessary
medical intervention or dangerous drugs are the most disadvantaged.

At the same time midwives are facing serious restrictions to our practice.
Two states, Tasmania and NT, have recently prevented midwives from offering
private services, as they are not able to buy professional indemnity
insurance. This has outlawed both homebirth and independent midwifery
practice in those states.  We do not yet know if midwives in Victoria will
be prevented from continuing private practice after our renewal of
registration at the end of this year.

The Maternity Coalition works across Australia as the need for
reform is complex and multi level  requiring all members and supporters to
take action where
they are, as well as the MC members public
activism.
For example the Victorian branch is represented on the Vic governments
Maternity Services Advisory Committee by  branch president Leslie Arnott.

In every state MC  members represent the needs of women, midwives and
families for equitable services at both local, state and national levels.

But  without broad support from other consumers and the
midwifery profession and the community, the complex obstacles that need to
be overcome will remain .

We need your help!

MC members will receive Birth Matters, which was mailed this week.  Please
use
the information in Birth Matters to guide your efforts as an agent for
change.

Those on this list who are not members.  Please consider rectifying this
immediately.  Go to  HYPERLINK http://www.maternitycoalition.org.au;
www.maternitycoalition.org.au and download a subscription form.  If you
*cannot* afford the $35 annual fee you can download most of the information
from the website.  (Midwives and others in related professions please note
that the subscription fee is tax deductible).

WA members can download a copy of Implementing NMAP in WA to take to the
candidates for the next WA election, as well as end an endorsement via
http://www.maternitycoalition.org.au/wa/wa_home.html

I want to thank all who have already spoken up on radio call back, written
or spoken to politicians, and made an effort.

Lets not act like an oppressed social group. We have knowledge and we have
a great potential to
act.  We must take responsibility for Australias birthing futures, we owe
it to our children .

Re: [ozmidwifery] Alfalfa tea

2004-09-09 Thread Sue Cookson
Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] Alfalfa tea



Hi Michelle,
According to Susun Weed's The Wisewoman Herbal Childbearing Year, simple teas or infusions of nourishing herbs such as Comfrey, Raspberry Leaf, Nettles, Alfalfa or Red Clover encourage a plebtiful supply of breast milk and a relaxed, healthy mother. These mineral rich nourishing herbs also protect you from mineral loss during the stress of nursing and infant care. Rotate, using each one for a week, to derive the unique benefits that each offers.
I'm pretty sure alfalfa is also inthe Weleda Nursing Mother's Tea which a lot of the women I see really enjoy in the first few months. Alfalfa is also high in vitamin K which is another good reason to add it to the 'can do' list for the breastfeeding months/years.

Alfalfa tea has long been used by midwives to increase breastmilk quantity and quality.
Hope this helps,
Sue

Hi everyone,

Have been following the discussion about breastfeeding and ways of increasing supply. Just have a query has anyone had an experience with using alfalfa tea to increase supply? A friend of mine said she had an oversupply for 6 months which someone told her was due to drinking alfalfa tea.

Cheers
Michelle

[ozmidwifery] Fears parents using medication to replace the lullaby

2004-09-09 Thread Graham and Helen



An interesting article FYI
Helen
Fears parents using medication to replace the 
lullaby

By Michael BradleySeptember 
9, 2004
Frustrated parents are increasingly turning to pain-killers 
and other drugs to keep their children in check - a disturbing trend that 
researchers are labelling "social medication".
The use of pain-killers and antihistamines to moderate the mood and behaviour 
of children has been found to be significantly more widespread than previously 
thought, an Australian study has found.
And it's not just wild tantrums that are causing the medical interventions. 
Incidents as innocuous as a child being "grizzly", "unsociable", or "cranky 
because he lost his Elmo sunglasses" have been identified by parents as reasons 
for reaching for their "bottles of cure-all".
While doctors warn the misuse of such drugs is dangerous, sociologists say 
their use is symptomatic of the inability of parents to cope with declining 
levels of time and support.
The study was conducted by Melbourne researchers and is based on interviews 
with 40 parents with children aged under five on their use of over-the-counter 
drugs. 

Joe Tucci, the CEO of the Australian Childhood Foundation, attributes the 
finding to a "lack of confidence" among parents. "Parents lack time and they're 
looking for a quick fix," he said. "They're looking for something that can 
change their child's behaviour and they're increasingly looking to external 
solutions. The traditional approaches to parenting and discipline are being 
questioned by today's parents but what they are not sure about is what they 
should be replacing it with."
Paracetamol can cause serious health problems and Professor Don Roberton, the 
president of pediatrics and child health for the Royal Australasian College of 
Physicians, says parents who use it to moderate a child's behaviour are 
misguided.
"Treating the symptoms of a behavioural problem provides only a short-term 
benefit, if it produces any benefit at all," he said. "The use of sedating 
medication or pain-relieving medications to control behaviour is not 
appropriate. It certainly isn't helping their behavioural problems and these 
medicines have side effects."
The NSW Poisons Information Centre received 4806 calls relating to 
paracetamol poisoning during 2002 - more than the number received for any other 
poison.
The study findings have just been published in the September edition of 
Pediatrics, an American medical journal.

Hi Denise,
No need to apologies - not offended. Just trying to share 
my experiences and make sense of it all. 
It's all constructive - an important topic to be discussing 
on a list such as this. 
I've found that the support I giveto women choosing 
to birth inhospital has generally been welcomed by the midwives, however 
there have been the odd few that have been less than impressed. This reaction 
always intrigues me as I see how busy the midwives are, particularly at the 
large teaching hospital in my area. It is truely like a baby factory and the 
midwives are run off their feet. I find this reaction very strange and would 
like to try and understand it - any ideas??

  Hi all,
  I have been reading the discussion on doula's with 
  interest and am intrigued by some of the more negative comments towards the 
  'doula' profession.
  I tirelessly work for Homebirth Access Sydney and 
  Homebirth Australia - co-ordinating both groups. Which also involves 
  supporting Maternity Coalition and the wonderful Justine Caines. I consider 
  myself a staunch advocate for women centred and best practice care. I run 
  Active Birth workshopsand I work as a doula in my local community. I 
  have 4 children - 3 of whom were born at home with a midwife and a doula, as 
  well as other family members.
  Working as a doula in the hospital system has been so 
  eliquently explained by Honey and Vida that i won't go into it. What I really 
  wanted to remark on is the role of the doula when 1-2-1 midwifery led care is 
  present. I'm interested to understand the idea that if we were to have a 
  system like NZ why there wouldn't be the need for doula's? Our roles are 
  very different and a doula can be a benefit in all birth 
  settings.
  I was approached by our local homebirth midwife and asked 
  to assist her and her clients at their homebirths, which i have been doing for 
  about 6 months now. The midwife pays me - not the women and we 
  workreally well together, supporting one another the whole way. Which of 
  course in turn supports the woman and her family. It is working wonderfully 
  and have only had positive feedback from the families whom i have supported. 
  Doula's benefit women, but they can also benefit midwives - even in an ideal 
  system!

time to get the ball rolling. Homebirth Access Sydeny in the past have held a 
family picnic with stalls and kids activities, an info day about Homebirth with 
different speakers, set up a homebirth table at local libraries, had stalls at 
markets. Use your imagination and contact your local rag to cover the 
story.

[ozmidwifery] National Caesarean Awareness Day 2004

2004-09-09 Thread Dean Jo



Hello, 

just a quick reminder of the National Caesarean 
Awareness Day celebration that will be held this Saturday at Waterfall Gully 
from 3.30pm - 

Restoring the Birthing Woman Within: 
a day of emotional healing.

A day of emotional 
healing is a time to share and express our emotions in a positive and meaningful 
way.

The day will 
incorporate story telling, those who feel comfortable can share their own 
personal story, a poem, a prayer or picture. If you are unable to attend 
but still wish to share your thoughts, you may like to contribute to the booklet 
to be produced after the day "Expressions of Emotional Healing". We 
welcome all contributions and you can submit yours on the web site : 
www.cares-sa.org.au

Each woman is also 
invited to bring the petals of her favourite flower(s) to scatter over the 
flowing water during the ceremony; symbolically cleansing and giving away. 
Candles will be lit around the nation to link each states events. Candles 
will be on sale on the day for a small cost.

Please keep in 
mind:

- the weather forecast is for 
rain, so please bring an umbrella or two if you have spare and dress 
warm!

- partners are welcome however 
the location is NOT suitable for young children (small babies excluded) as there 
is no pram access, the area for the ceremony is quite smalland the 
waterfall is easily accessible for children. CARES SA advise that it is 
not safe for young children. It is also a time for adults to share 
emotions that some young children may not understand and could cause 
distress. CARES SA has always welcomed and catered for children, however 
we must regretfully stress that this event may not be suitable. 


Please feel 
welcome to invite others whom you may think may benefit for this very special 
event. We look forward to seeing you on the day! And remember if you 
can not make it, you can still contribute to the booklet "Expressions of 
Emotional Healing".

Dear List

This note is for all of the 
Midwifery course coordinators and Graduate midwives in 2005.

My name is Felicity Cummins and I am 
the Grad Mid coordinator at Mildura Base Hospital. I am in the process of 
finalising the details about the program but I can tell you that there will be 
3-4 positions available for a 12 month course beginning in Feb 2005. There 
will be6study days containing every topic imaginable, including, 
care of the sick neonate, midwifery emergencies and home birth.
The ward work involves supported 
practice in Antenatal, Birthing and Postnatal care as well as Special Care 
Nursery. There is also opportunity for the Grads to become involved in a 
new Continuity of Care program if they so wish. The program also 
includesthree community days where the participants are able to experience 
the links in the community for women and families pre and post 
birth.

Our ward is a fantastic place to 
work with a great team of happy and dynamic midwives who have a keen focus on 
education and best practice.

My aim is to provide a large amount 
of basic information and an environment of supported practice for the 
consolidation of knowledge. I am passionate about nurturing midwives 
entering the workforce, as these people are the future of midwifery and the 
future carers of women, children and their families. I know the importance 
of a great start and I hope that I can provide this tosome of you 
2005.

Please feel free to contact me off 
list for your individual questions. I am also very willing to meet any of 
you for a guided tour of our ward and hospital at any time.

Hi everyone,
I have been a member of this list for a few weeks and though I should 
introduce myself to you all.  My name is Tanya Drumm and I live in Hobart, 
Tas.  I am currently a 1st year external Bachelor of Midwifery student with 
Uni of SA, married with 2 beautiful children and have just started my two 
follow thrus with a lovely lady who is in her early stages of pregnancy (I 
must say I am a little nervous about how I will be treated/accepted).

I am a little worried about how I will be accepted when doing pracs and 
follow thrus in Hobart (as well as finding 30 ladies who want me to be part 
of their journey) as I have heard from quite a few people that I am doing

Hi everyone,
I have been a member of this list for a few weeks and though I should 
introduce myself to you all.  My name is Tanya Drumm and I live in Hobart, 
Tas.  I am currently a 1st year external Bachelor of Midwifery student 
with Uni of SA, married with 2 beautiful children and have just started my 
two follow thrus with a lovely lady who is in her early stages of

I am a little worried about how I will be accepted when doing pracs and 
follow thrus in Hobart (as well as finding 30 ladies who want me to be 
part of their journey) as I have heard from quite a few people that I am 
doing the wrong thing (by doing BMid instead of BNursing then Midwifery), 
but am prepared to fight my case if I need too.  I am really enjoying 
being a part of this list and would gladly appreciate any advice any of

Thanks again for letting me be a part of this list.

Re: [ozmidwifery] introduction

2004-09-09 Thread Kirsten Wohlt
Hi Tanya!  I'm Kirsten, and I am a first year Bachelor of Midwifery student too.  I am 
at Monash University in Victoria.  I have about 9 follow throughs so far, 3 who have 
recently had their babies and 1 due any day now, and have so  far found it to be an 
amazing experience.  Even though I am explicit with these women in that I am unable 
and unqualified to give them any advice, just having me there at their doctors visits 
and ringing them up seems to make them so comfortable - maybe not happy exactly, but 
something akin to it.  They ask my opinion (which it is very difficult not to give, 
but so far so good!), and want to tell me what is happening to them and their bodies, 
without me even having to ask much.  I think all pregnant women have a kind of feeling 
that they are the first in the world to have a baby - I know I felt that way!  :)  It 
is a unique experience, and you can't help feeling a peculiar pride and sense that 
something miraculous is going on for you, that surely hasn't REALLY been experienced 
by anyone else.  So to have someone like you or me showing care and excitement for 
them and their journey just seems to reinforce to the follow through woman that she 
really is special and important, and makes them want to open up and share things and 
bring you into their life.  That is so inarticulate, but I am quite happy thinking 
about it, so my thoughts are getting jumbled!! :)

The doctors that I have seen with my follow throughs have been really kind and 
supportive, and insist on helping me to palpate abdomens and listen to the baby's 
heart either with their stethoscopes or with the doppler.  They explain everything 
they do really nicely and seem keen to involve me.  Maybe I've just been lucky.

Midwives in the hospitals have also been very positive and proactive in explaining 
what they are doing and why.  While I can't actually be involved in assisting anyone 
in the birth beyond being there and bringing ice (!!), the midwives have been keen to 
show me the placenta or explain how to feel for contractions, bits and pieces like 
that which are all so important.

Our 2nd years who are out in the clinical environment now also report being really 
well accepted by the teams of midwives they are working with - no negative feedback at 
all, which I was worried about too.

I think we have made a good decision to do this course Tanya.  At a time where 
midwives are in demand, a demand which will hopefully increase if midwifery led care 
does get the support and promotion it deserves, I think we will be really well placed 
to make a positive contribution to many families.  Especially with the support and 
unofficial mentoring of groups like this one.  Can't listen to them enough :)

Sorry that was such a long spiel!! Enjoy, enjoy!

Kirsten

Tanya I'm not a midwife so I  can't offer any suggestions but I am curious
about the difference between the two different methods of study to becoming

I wonder what the verdict would be on an 'abortion' after the legally viable period of 
24 weeks mentioned in this article.  Without getting into the ethics of abortion, i 
think perhaps that was the defining point in this case - the fact that the baby was 32 
weeks and well past the cut off for being 'viable'.

Curious.

 How cannbsp;this woman get charged for 
 murder when hundreds of thousands of babies in America and all over the western 
 world, are killed by choice, deliberately?? I find it baffling that if a woman 
 chooses tonbsp;kill her baby legally,nbsp;it's called an abortion, but if a 
 woman takes drugs and the baby dies then it's murder??!!

Hi Tanya,

Welcome and good luck with your follow thrus.

re your external studying of the BMid at SA, are you required to attend the
uni at all or can you do the whole course externally?

 Hi everyone,

 I have been a member of this list for a few weeks and though I should
 introduce myself to you all.  My name is Tanya Drumm and I live in Hobart,
 Tas.  I am currently a 1st year external Bachelor of Midwifery student
with
 Uni of SA, married with 2 beautiful children and have just started my two
 follow thrus with a lovely lady who is in her early stages of pregnancy (I
 must say I am a little nervous about how I will be treated/accepted).

 I am a little worried about how I will be accepted when doing pracs and
 follow thrus in Hobart (as well as finding 30 ladies who want me to be
part
 of their journey) as I have heard from quite a few people that I am doing
 the wrong thing (by doing BMid instead of BNursing then Midwifery), but am
 prepared to fight my case if I need too.  I am really enjoying being a
part
 of this list and would gladly appreciate any advice any of you can offer.

 Thanks again for letting me be a part of this list.
 Tanya

Hi Tanya
hang in there! I am in my first year as a studnet midwife also, but I 
do the B of Nursing first, only because when I wanted to do it, this 
was the only way. So here I am finally fulfulling my dream. Personally, 
I can not see the big deal, ultimately whatever way we choose to become 
a midwife means just that, we will still be wonderful, supportive and 
passionate midwives. This does not change due to our training method. 
Good Luck with it!

Katrina :-)

Maybe this could deter illegal drug use in pregnancy though...
