Re: [ozmidwifery] new idea
Isn't the chance of losing a baby to a uterine rupture in VBAC approximately 0.03%? Approximately 1 in ten ruptures? I'll just go look it up Rachele - Original Message - From: Dean Jo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2006 3:15 PM Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] new idea Great letters everyone! But remember when anyone is spouting stats on rupture rates, the 1 in 200 ruptures are not all fatal ruptures. In fact the .2% was an 'estimated' rate (quote) from the 2001 Australian vbac management study. There were NO maternal deaths, only hysterectomies and there were no feotal mortalities: only morbidities. So we must be very clear that when we discuss vbac that by using the 1 in 200 stat, we are not confusing women to think they have a 1 in 200 chance of having their baby die due to rupture.

[ozmidwifery] article FYI
Calif. law would ban Cruise ultrasound copycats Bill restricting home setups like stars moves on to state Senate SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The California Assembly has voted to restrict the use of ultrasound machines for personal use, approving a bill that would allow them to be sold only to licensed professionals. Democratic Assemblyman Ted Lieu introduced the bill after Mission: Impossible III star Tom Cruise bought an ultrasound machine to see images of his unborn child. The actors fiancee, Katie Holmes, gave birth to the couples daughter, Suri, last month in Los Angeles. Doctors and technologists typically receive years of training to perform ultrasound exams, which help obstetricians check a babys health. Cruise was criticized by doctors who said improperly using the devices can harm a fetus. Lieu said his bill was intended to prohibit copycats from using the devices at home. An ultrasound machine listed on the online auction site eBay was selling for $5,500 Wednesday. What we dont want is someone who unintentionally damages the fetus, Lieu said Thursday on the Assembly floor. If someone sees Tom Cruise buy one, they think this is the thing to do, added Lieu. Theres really no medical reason for an untrained person to use this machine. The actors publicist, Paul Bloch, did not return phone messages seeking comment. Cruise has been promoting his new film, which opens in theaters Friday. Ban on unlicensed use The chamber voted 55-7 to pass the bill and send it to the Senate. The bill prohibits a manufacturer or person from selling, leasing or distributing an ultrasound machine to any person other than a licensed practitioner. Some Republican lawmakers questioned whether the bill would prohibit the use of ultrasound devices by private companies that provide keepsake photos for parents-to-be. Lieu said it would not, as long as the person operating the machine was licensed under a certain section of the states Business and Professions Code. Laboratory tests have shown that certain diagnostic levels can affect human tissue, according to the Food and Drug Administration. The agency has determined that keepsake fetal videos and personal snapshots are an unapproved use of a medical device. The machine is also used by doctors on a high-frequency setting to get a better image of an adults kidneys, pelvis, uterus and other internal organs. There are many settings you would only use on adults and not on a fetus, said Dr. Miyuki Murphy, director of ultrasound at Radiological Associates of Sacramento. Obviously, somebody enamored with their own child would want to use it all the time, said Murphy, identified by the California Medical Association as an expert on the topic. You might push that button because the pictures are prettier. Critics of the bill said lawmakers should leave such decisions to health professionals. We dont have the expertise to dispense medical advice, said Assembly woman Audra Strickland, the mother of a 6-month-old daughter. © 2006 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Thanks LynnI too welcomed a baby at 00:27 this morning and found it a wonderful way to celebrate IMD. Although now up and at it again after 5 hours sleep is a bit ordinary.
