Thanks for that Jo. I checked out their website and they look great too. They have a compare the courses chart and they mention Optimum Birth and Life Options (Doula Express) as the only others available in Australia.

Hi everyone I am wondering if anyone has any articles or references that could help with how the media influences women's perceptions of childbirth and pregnancy?? I am doing a seminar presentation for uni, and have some articles (10) at this stage, but searching the databases last night did not prove to be very forthcoming with articles.

[ozmidwifery] Professional Passionate Midwives
Hows this for Midwives who cannot get work Meryl Hammond sent me an email and I forwarded it to Jan Robinson because we support our Northern Territory Colleagues without reserve. Meryl among other midwives, including myself is restricted to practice by the Nurses and Midwives Board under the legislation in the Northern. For those of you who dont know it means we cannot work with women unless we are covered by vicarious liability and that means in an institution. CRAZY WORLD WE LIVE IN! Yet these wonderful, profession faithful, midwives can still set all aside to: Meryl Wrote: Robyn, You are obviously busy with the insurance work. I have drawn Jan Robinsons risk assessment questions into a table and will have info from5 (but maybemore!)would-be if we could be independent midwives. The larger survey is not really appropriate ...we are not practicing. A few exciting things this week, we went to the Deckchair Cinema last night to see the weeping camel ..what a lovely film. Probably raised about $1500 for the ACMI. Jan Wrote: My heartfelt thanks to the lot of the Territory 'mob' they are wonderful women Rob. Fancy them still struggling to raise money for the College when they can't earn an income .., seems so unjust doesn't it? Emails of encouragement and support for these women are welcome. Robyn

Re: [ozmidwifery] Media
Hi all, Regarding media portrayals of birth -I would like to pass on a letter sent to me by a NZ midwife . She wrote this as a complaint about a birth story that apeared in an NZ baby mag - the editor's response ended in an offer of work checking future stories for the mag. Dear , I have just received a copy of Littles (June/July edition). I flipped through and stopped to read Deborah's Story as I am a midwife and I like to keep in touch with what my clients may be reading. I was appalled at the inaccuracies in the story which are evident to anyone with a little obstetric or midwifery knowledge. I'm surprised you did not get this story edited by a health professional. Little Treasures used to print similar stories in their early days until they wised up! Please do the same as I will not be recommending this magazine to my clients or have in our waiting room. The obvious errors or inaccuracies are: a.. placenta previa is not part of a normal pregnancy. In fact it is a serious complication and always requires planned caesarian section. This woman did not have placenta praevia. She would have been hospitalised weeks before if so! b.. (baby facing wrong way) implies posterior presentation, or breech presentation. If breech presentation this woman would not have had an induction of labour at a birthing unit. c.. If the breaking of waters was unsuccessful, then how could the meconium have been noted. Meconium liquor is a reasonably common occurrence in a postdates pregnancy. It can only be detected once the waters have broken (spontaneously or artificially). Meconium liquor can indicate fetal distress, but not always. Either way it is a good reason for a transfer to hospital and may be an indication for caesarian section if combined with fetal distress. Only about 2% of babies with meconium exposure experience meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) which can be serious, especially in a postdates baby but many others are OK at birth or require some mild medical attention. Using the word fatal is inaccurate and misleading. And by the way, the danger is inhaling the meconium, not swallowing it. d.. I am not sure how ambulance staff prioritize their transfers to hospital but priority 1 could have been non-urgent! I have reasonable faith that if it indeed was an emergency the team would have been ready on arrival to act. Even the busiest of units are good at prioritizing cases. e.. I doubt the baby's heartbeat was lost. The heartbeat may slow or dip during contractions but lost! I imagine they were having trouble picking it up due to the procedure of spinal anesthesia being performed. This is probably inaccurate and unnecessarily frightening. Internal clips can be difficult to apply at times. f.. I have never heard of anyone dying from a fatal allergy to cold! If this woman had had a spinal anesthetic she would certainly be shivering and feeling cold. A hot water bottle is usually a no no for anyone with regional anesthetia due to the risk of burns. That is basic nursing care,101. g.. all's well that ends well is certainly very true for babies born healthy even after a difficult labour. I doubt this baby was ever in any danger of not surviving, due to the time frames of events and the conditon of the baby at birth. h.. 10 days would be a most unusal postnatal stay time. Something else was going on here. i.. Every baby is a miracle and I am pleased that Samantha is a healthy 4 year old. From what I can glean there are no obvious reasons for a repeat caeserean section. In fact most woman would have a straight forward birth next time as posterior presentations (a common reason for postdates and long labours) does not seem so common in second pregnancies. j.. I find the birth photo questionable and once again misleading. This baby is only minutes old and has not perfused properly yet (pinked up). This baby is also lying is a posture very typical of breech presentations (the feet up by the ears). Either that or the baby has dislocated hips! k.. I'm sorry about their friends baby. Sadly, not every baby makes it for a variety of reasons. It is important we are clear and accurate about these reasons. I wince at stories like these. They are neither helpful or accurate. Why would you want to foster a climate of fear and danger around childbirth? Please, please, please edit your stories!

RE: [ozmidwifery] Hi
Hi Jeannine, I work independently in Adelaide and have my fingers in many of the consumer group pies that Jo was talking about (there are lots of us that are Jill's of all trades and wear many hats...how many clichés can I fit into this post?!) As Jo said there are some wonderfully positive things happening here in Adelaide, despite the terrible intervention rates etc. Lots of crises happening at present with Obstetric services being withdrawn at hospitals as Dr's retire, a negative I know for the women who were expecting and paying for their services, but a real positive for the future of changing maternity services. Common sense must prevail sometime soon, surely! There are women here in Adelaide who are members of the consumer based groups who also have lots of knowledge and information about current and projected future services, so feel free to contact me also off list if you like, and it will be great to meet you when you get here.

[ozmidwifery] Midwives Insurance and Provider Numbers
Hi Jo As I read your email lots happening in Adelaide I am wondering if any midwives in South Australia are wanting/needing professional indmenity insurance and provider numbers. I am not sure if you are aware, we are launching a Media Campaign and attending our 2nd Midwives Insurance Summit in Parliament House Canberra on June 15th thanks to the sponsorship of Senator Aden Ridgeway. The Agenda is almost complete. After the Media Launch we will have a round table conference with invited politicians and then return to the rest of the days busines of developing a National Strategic Plan and Submission to be deleivered with a broker and a midwife to Lloyds of London. If any SA midwives would like to attend please send RSVP soon. Our next summit will be in July at ICM. You can also join the Group to keep up with progress on http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/Midwives_Insurance/ if anyone has trouble joining let me know and I can send an invitationt so you just follow the prompts. Save the password they supply. It would be appreciated if you could forward this email to South Australian Midwives. We currently have Australian midwives in private or group practices, some who are employed in hospitals and students who are looking forward to insurance and provider numbers. The aim is to draw up a National List that identifies how many midwives are needing/wanting insurance and provider numbers. The details required are: NAME: STATE: POSTCODE: EMAIL: MOBILE/PHONE and can be forwarded to by email [EMAIL PROTECTED] We look forward to hearing from you all in SA we are also seeking midwives in Tasmania so if you know anyone over there please pass on the word.
