Thanks Sally Dear Sally and All I suggest your friend has never encountered anyone who has been sexually assaulted/abused, although with one in 4 women if she is a midwife then I doubt it.

As a survivor of sexual assault I can vouch that I fell into the very long labour with number 1. I had an out of body experience and felt that death was imminent (yes I know that there is that death thing around birth but mine was directly related to the assault as I relieved it. I had no urge to push (yes other women have this too) and felt my body closing down when I was directed to give a little push on the next contraction. The sensation of bushing and particularly the full sensation towards my anus made me wish I was dead. I was not scared of birth I was terrified of what came next in my repeat performance of the assault (as it was at knifepoint). Here comes the sad bit. If Id have been in the system it probably would have been totally relived with an [EMAIL PROTECTED] I swear if that had happened I would now be in an asylum. But due to a skilled midwife and me being at home a beautiful and EXTREMELY healing birth took place. Oh and by the way I had previoulsy dealt with my assault through 12 months of psychotherapy (several years before) and the whole episode took me by total surprise. Birth and sexual abuse/assault have an amazing link even if the woman cant articulate it (repressed memory unable to articulate it etc). Australias production line birth and inhumane interventions no doubt force women to relive abuse everyday.

Together with Marshall Klaus, she is co-author of "Your Amazing Newborn." She is the person you want to contact regarding this question.

RE: [ozmidwifery] Hi
Hi Miriam I dont want to leave any stone unturned on the issue of Insurance and noted your email. Because you intend to move into private practice at the end of your degree programme, I was wondering if you have given any thought to professional indemnity and a provider number. I'm not sure if you have read about the Midwives Insurance Campaign presently in progress. Previous Note: I am wondering if any midwives from SA are wanting/needing professional indemnity insurance and provider numbers. We are launching a Media Campaign and attending our 2nd Midwives Insurance Summit in Parliament House Canberra, 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 days business; developing a National Strategic Plan and Submission to be delivered with a broker and a midwife to Lloyds of London. Our next summit will be in July at ICM. We invite you to join the Group to keep up with progress -http://au.groups.yahoo.com/group/Midwives_Insurance/ If anyone has trouble joining let me know and I can send an invitation so you just have to follow the prompts. Save the alpha-numeric password they supply. It would be appreciated if you could forward this email to your colleagues. We currently have Australian midwives on the LIST in private or group practices, some who are employed in hospitals and students who are looking forward to insurance and provider numbers. Part of the preparation for the Submission is to draw up a National List that identifies how many midwives are seeking/needing/wanting insurance and provider numbers. The details for List are: NAME: STATE: POSTCODE: EMAIL: MOBILE/PHONE the information can be forwarded by email to me [EMAIL PROTECTED] We look forward to hearing from many Australian Midwives, so please pass the word around.

Re: [ozmidwifery] sexual abuse and labour
Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] sexual abuse and labour Justine, thank you for being so open with your experience...the women we were discussing actually had a 6.5 hour 2nd stage...and, yes, in hospital!! (don't faint!)She just would not push even though the baby's head was just a knuckle's depth into the vagina, in fact she clenched her buttocks together every time she had a contraction.We tried talking her through her contractions, walking around, stepping up and down on a step, but to no avail. Her contractions went off for ages, but the baby's heartrate was fine and mum appeared to be doing well in the physical sense. Ultimately she ended up with a 'whiff' of syntocinon which picked up the contractions until she had no choice but to push her beautiful boy out. she went throught the whole labour with no analgesia at all, and only needed a few stitches, so the outcome, from a physical sense was good. This is where continuity of carer would have been in it's element...we are still working on a proposal to get 'caseload' up and running where I work.

RE: [ozmidwifery] FW: letter to my local member
Hi Miriam I understand the costs are inhibiting not sure what to advise. The RCH in Melbourne is concerned about head shapes; they are getting lots of referrals. I am not convinced that putting things in satchels is the best way of getting the message out, most people empty out the bags, Im not sure they read and retain everything. For me the best form of communication is emails. For you I imagine a plasma screen advertising the use of your product in colour and real life movement. Some people would be watching the screen while others talk to you. It could also be played as a Power Point on your website. Anyway that is just an idea, whatever you decide must be ok for you.

There was a study done on nasal inhalation of syntocinon acting a little like the real deal oxytocin and inducing a trusting emotional state in the sniffer. Does syntocinon cross into the brain?

Re: [ozmidwifery] syntocinon crossing into the brain?
Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] sexual abuse and labour No, synthetic oxytocin does not cross the blood-brain barrier, or at least very little of it. Read Sarah Buckleys info. http://www.acegraphics.com.au/articles/sarah01.html Cheers Jenny - Original Message - From: Janet Fraser To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 10:59 AM Subject: [ozmidwifery] syntocinon crossing into the brain? Can someone help me with a question about this? There was a study done on nasal inhalation of syntocinon acting a little like the real deal oxytocin and inducing a trusting emotional state in the sniffer. Does syntocinon cross into the brain? Obviously oxytocin originates there and affects the brain but can IV syntocinon for augmentation/induction of labour have a similar effect? I hope a pro can make sense of this query!
