[ozmidwifery] bbbb calendars report
HI all The figures and facts have come to air at last for 2005 calendar and it is looking like we will not be making a profit and even encroaching on half the profit for last years calendar to cover. The first calendar made a good profit, then the second one made a few thousand and we will have to use some of that to cover for the third one. There has been close to 8000 calendars sold or given away over the three years so that means that there are nearly 8000 walls with this information out there being viewed by many more - so we have reached over 10thousand people which one cannot put a price on. It has been far reaching - a friend was telling me theother day that a client of her husbands was down from Cooktown and he saw the calendar on their wall and he said that he had one the same on his wall at home, this then helped them to connect evenfurther- you just never know how far it goes! AS the calendar was primarily a fund raiser and then secondly an awareness and information raiser, the time and effort put into it does not warrant the profit made, but the awareness has been great. It has helped to bring many groups and individuals together and help us unite across the country and even taken our plight to NZ, USA, UK and Canada. Brought us media, politicalattention and our plight to many high profile birth reformers across the globe. The campaign for birth reform and theNMAP promotion has shown how many smaller groups there are and they were able to see that they are not aloneandunite, as well asmake a little profit from the calendars too. It has given us a national front of well organised groups who can unite and produce results. WE are here to stay and primarily help others to make aninformed choice - and to give woman a voice on birthing. I have been fortunate enough to be at the grass roots and meet the woman and their families for whom the birth reform is all about - what a privilege, then to meet those who are active and campaigning, onto those making the decisions and those who are and are not willing to hear our voices. Then onto to the high profilers who are inspiring all of us to continue. What a journey! what an honour! My family has grown since doing the first calendar and I am finding it impossible to maintain my integrity of family first and produce a quality calendar, I choose to stay home and raise my children and find that I am having to sacrifice more than I am willing too, so this brings me to my final calendar that I can produce the '' calendar at this stage of my families growth. I love taking the photos and know that I am doing something that will help my children in the future and will continue to work within the campaign at a lesser time demanding role. I have many more wonderful photos on file of beautiful woman and children that will still get used within the campaign so you will not be seeing the last of the 'grass roots' photos. Also those of you that haven't seen your photo in print do not despair yet as the campaign is not over yet, just taking another form. There is always another plan in the air, just a less time consuming one, whilst still getting the info out there - I will do that till the day we run of pregnant womanandbirths to photograph, mums to stop breastfeeding, families to stop loving! Never! So if you have a need for some photographs you know who to call! IF anyone wants to continue the calendar on, please feel free and I am willing to give my support and blessings, I even have a years supply of photographs ready to go! This was not an easy decision for me to make and let the calendar go and as the saying goes if you really love something then let it go, so be free and am sure it will not be the end, as there are whisperings in the air of a homebirth DVD! I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people involved;from the models, to those who put their work and ideasinto it, those who brought and sold the calendars, those who have been there from the beginning and helped to developed the idea with me, those who advertised and supported the campaign for no-charge and finally those whose wall the calendar hangs! See you around the birthing circles! take the time to see the beauty in the moment! Deirdrie Cullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] 552 Gilston Road, Gilston. Gold Coast.

Re: [ozmidwifery] Post placental hypotension with synto
No Tina, Simply an IM injection. I've checked out the info that goes with synto and 1 article was very clear that a side effect could be hypotension, elevated heartrate, nausea etc etc. JUst didn't seem to be the right response for such a lightweight bleed - her Hb's and ferritins were good going into the birth ... Always trying to 'work it out' ... Sue Hi all, Just doing some research on the effect of syntocinon on a newly birthed mum. I have recently witnessed a severe post placental hypotension after synto was given with a fast (but not too severe) bleed - about 700ml in total. Drop from 100/70 to 70/40 within 5 mins ... any thoughts?? She came up again within 45 mins, but I thought this was pretty severe... Anyone have some recent research?? Many thanks, Sue HI Suehow was the syntocinon administered...as an IV bolus?? Cheers Tina Pettigrew -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.

Re: [ozmidwifery] Homebirth In Rockhampton/Yeppoon?
Hi Justine, As far as I know there aren't any homebirth midwives in Rockhampton/Yeppoon or the Central Qld area. We do get women from Rockhampton (and other areas) coming toour Birth Centre in Mackay, so maybe this is an option if the woman doesn't want a hospital birth.

Re: [ozmidwifery] need article help please
Dear Sharon If you are a member of the Australian College of Midwives then you should be able to access it through them. Pat Brodie is the president of it's state Branch (The NSW Midwives Association). Call the NSW Midwives Association on 02 9281 9522 and ask the office staff if they have copy of Pat's article there. If you belong to the College you will probably get it for free - otherwise there will be a small charge.

[ozmidwifery] Expo this weekend
Hi, Homebirth Access Sydney is in need of your support. We need some more people to help out at the stand this weekend. I am sure we are all aware that in Australia less than 1% of births occur at home, it is a tragedy. Women do not seem to be aware of their options and choices for prenatal and birth support. Nor do women and their partners seem to be aware of the safety of homebirth and the amazing support that an independent midwife can offer. Pregnancy and parenting expos are a great way to bring awareness to womens birthing choices and to the services that independent midwives provide. It would be really wonderful if a few more Sydney midwives could join HAS in promoting homebirth at this expo. So far, only one midwife has put her hand up to volunteer and we need more. If you have just a couple of hours spare, please join us in giving women options and information. You can promote your services while you are there and help women and their partners become aware. It is a small step, but it is a small step in the right direction. More awareness on a grassroots level means more acceptance of midwives and homebirthing. Please email me if you want to help out. We still have spaces on Saturday 12pm-2pm and every afternoon. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks Love Abby HAS Events Co-ordinator -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.

[ozmidwifery] Re: dopplers
