Off topic, did anyone see the birth on All Saints last night? Seen worse, but could have got her off the bed or at least on her front.

That makes complete sense to me, since they get more blood than babes that had cords clamped and cut quickley. I'm sure I read somewhere that babies are deprived of as much as 25% of their blood volume by cutting the cord. Nearly everyone I know that did not cut the cord, had babies that developed Jaundice. Nothing serious just yellowing. - Original Message - From: Andrea Quanchi [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 9:33 AM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Induction and third stage labour There are many reasons that influence whether a baby gets jaundiced or not Two of these are 1. prematurity ( of the liver as well as dates, some babies livers take ages to be efficient enough to clear the jaundice. 2. Not passing mec soon after birth. The longer the mec stays inside the more bilirubin is reabsorbed increasing the workload of the immature system. This is usually influenced by how quickly the baby is able to feed. The thing about synt is that it is often used to augment labour in a woman who has been labouring for hours or to induce labour in a woman who is not yet ready to go into labour and the result is a tired mother and baby who often dont come together well to feed without good assistance. This is often not forthcoming in the hurry to get things cleaned up, the move to the postnatal ward and paper work to be done. Ask your friend and she will probably not have seen jaundice in a woman who has had synt but had a quick labour. Most women who birth in hospitals have synt in some form or other for 3rd stage and the level of jaundice in some settings is very low. I would suggest it may be in direct relationship to the length of time until feeding is established. I think the whole reason synt is being used is the concern rather than blaming the synt for jaundice alone.

I work in a team midwifery model at Warragul, where we have lots of midwives who believe in continuity of care, support the women as central to the whole prossess and have a supportive obstetrician to back us up. Our problem is in recruiting midwives to work in our model. Nobody wants to do "all that on call".They "want to have a life". After all these years of fighting for this type of thing it seems there are not enough of us around to fill this role. Many support the model in principal, but don't see how they can fit it into their own lives. Our team started just 12 months ago. It is a modified case load, with 1 night per week on call, and 1 weekend a month. We are "available" for our "own" women during the day. We provide midwife led care for up to 60 low risk women per year, and shared care for up to a further 60 "high risk" women who benefit most from having a known midwife with them in labour. We are meant to be 5, but have recently lost one, who would have rather worked as a team only, with no case load. To my knowledge there have been no applications for this position from with in existing staff, nor has there been a response to newspaper ads. It saddens me to think that this type of model will not be sustainable in the long term. Here we are in the position of having active finacial support from DHS after many years of lobbying for it, only to risk losing it all through lack of willing staff. This problem must be coming up for others in Victoria as caseload models are put forward in other regions. Any thoughts, suggestions, simmilar experiences? I am truely at my wits end. Sigh :( Thanks for listening Carol-- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. Visit to subscribe or unsubscribe.
