[ozmidwifery] A giggle for Christmas
This came through on my email today and I thought a giggle at this crazy time of year would help keep you all sane. warm regards Di Gardner Went to Abigail's school Christmas concert (no proper Nativity this year Sad ). Each class did a little something followed by a song or 2. Anyway, Ab's class did a Nativity scene, with Ab as Mary ( Grin How proud was I?). A few mins into their bit Ab promptly lifted her dress shoved baby Jesus up it. The script then wandered away from what they'd learnt goes as follows Joseph: What are you doing? Mary: I'm feeding our baby Shepherd: Have you got a bottle up there then? Mary: Don't be silly he's having milk from my booby Joseph: That's disgusting Mary: No, that baby milk they have in Tescos is disgusting. My baby's having proper milk Shepherd: What's a booby? Mary: Those sticky out bits ladies have Shepherd: They're not boobies, they're nipples Mary: No they're not, they're boobies Joseph: So why can't Jesus have milk from a bottle then? Mary: Because I haven't got a breast pump with me - you forgot to put it on the donkey Shepherd: Can't you ask the teacher for a bottle to feed Jesus with? Mary: No because this is the best way to feed Jesus. Anyway bottles haven't been invented yet even if they were I've just had a baby so if you think I'm faffing around Tescos to buy baby milk when I make proper milk in my boobies you can think again I felt a teeny bit sorry for their class teacher - she did try her best to steer them back towards their proper lines but she was laughing so much she didn't really stand a chance. The line about Joseph forgetting the breast pump finished her off - she slid to the floor couldn't get up for laughing
Re: [ozmidwifery] Birthing options in Albury/Wodonga
Her safest option (as ever) is a hb and this is available in A/W. There is a really high rate of c-sec in the local hospitals.

Re: [ozmidwifery] Missing emails
Dear Andrea, I too have had some problems over the time with emails. However I just thought I should say that I really appreciate the opportunity to be part of this list and thank you and your organization for sponsoring the site, making it possible.

I'm in the same boat as the rest of you. Part of the problem may be the high level of email being sent generally these days - perhaps this causes problem with the sheer volume of messages in cyberspace. I have our list manager on the job and we are exploring changing the hosting of the list to better improve service. I hope we will have something to announce early in the New Year. In the meantime, can you please bear with us while we do our best to keep our treasured list working well for us all. If you notice that a message you have posted does not appear within 24 hours, perhaps you could send it again? Many thanks, Andrea -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.

[ozmidwifery] Christmas thankyou
Just writing to wish everyone a great Christmas and New Year and thank you all for sharing your knowledge throughout the year. It is reassuring to be part of a larger group of likeminded people with the goal of providing better birthing services in Australia. Your support is invaluable. Helen
Re: [ozmidwifery] Birthing options in Albury/Wodonga
Hi Kate, The Wodonga Hospital is the only hospital having births at Albury/Wodonga. I'm not sure what models of care are available, but I think there is a midwive's clinic. There certainly seems to be a very high intervention rate though! Wangaratta has a Community Midwifery Program, which is very good but you have to book very early as they have a limit of numbers per month. It is a very popular program and the woman meets all of the team during the course of her pregnancy and has whoever is on call for the birth. There are also 2 or 3 independant midwives in the Wangaratta/Wodonga area that I know of. Hope this helps your friend.
