[ozmidwifery] Book poster and order forms
Dear Pinky, I run a support group from a Parenting Library in the Northern suburbs of Perth. By the way It was my 5 month baby boy who wasusing you as a foot restas he breastfed at the Conference on Saturday. Well he was 58cm at birth! Anyway the Library has"parenting by heart" but I don't think they have the "100 ways to calm crying", at the very least I could ensure they have this book, and because I see new parents it would be great to have some order forms handy. I and others really enjoyed yourtalk at the conference. We cannot hear the message about trusting our nuturing instincts enough. Love Rochelle Beckman Harry Send to: 2 Kensal Green Way Kingsley WA 6026 [EMAIL PROTECTED] p.s I thought the conference was fabulous.

Re: [ozmidwifery] book sharing, reinforcement of PUSH FOR BIRTH REFORM ( VERY LONG)
Joseph Chilton Pearce, remarkable man. Gave lectures in Melbourne; the first I attended while I was waiting for Leslie's birth; the second not long after his birth. How comforting it was when he told me that babies like Leslie who just don't want to sleep are exceptionally bright! Neither of my babes wanted to sleep and indeed, they have both kept everyone on their toes -- me the most. What I really liked about him was he didn't come across as a know-it-all!

[ozmidwifery] book sharing, reinforcement of PUSH FOR BIRTH REFORM ( VERY LONG)
Dear List, I have to share this book - it will make you howl in anguish: it willreinforce your determination to change childbirth practices in this country through the NMAP. Midwives must fight for natural birth. Yes.. PUSH FOR BIRTH REFORM. So, to those of us who mayoccasionally lose heartand I quote. (written 1977, but still recognizable as occurring in our hospitals of today) "The newborn's total sensory system must be brought into play through physical stimulus, because only by stimulation of the body does the reticular formation receive the necessary stimulus to bring it into full play and begin to function fully as the coordinate of body senses and mind-brain activity. (The critical nature of activation of the reticular formation must be accomplished soon after birth for bonding: otherwise there will extreme and permanent dysfunction) So the infant goes into an extreme stress state shortly before birth. This stimulates ACTH, which then brings about the new proteins and brain-cell connections that prepare the body for dramatic, indeed drastic, physical changes, alerting the body and brain for the fast work to be done. The human mother is genetically programmed to nurture the newborn's body by a continual gentle massage and stimulation. ...the four great needs for bonding: holding, with a body molding of the infant to one's self; prolonged and steady eye contact; smiling; and soothing sounds. Breast-feeding, of course, furnishes all these at once, and body stimulus is what must be added to that vital body-moulding contact. ...the entire procedure of delivery gets seriously delayed and complicated out of all bounds in hospital delivery. Drugs, particularly anaesthetics, specifically slow up the synchronous movements by which the infant is expelled from the womb, and delivery gets extended to torturous lengths. Fear and anxiety build in the mother, and pain follows swift and sure. The pain calls for more medication, as does the anxiety. And what of the infant: his body has begun a massive outpouring of adrenal steroids preparatory to the great push and adaptation, but the movement does not come. His body continues its outpouring of hormones. Stress piles on stress; the expected natural cycle of stress-relaxation is not forthcoming. After hours of this, both mother and infant are exhausted. Then, there are all the medical interferences, the carelessness, and the callousness. Coupled with the conditioned reflex of fear are the operating amphitheater atmosphere, that deadly table, and being forced to lie down, which completely eliminates any last hope of muscular coordinationdrugs that incapacitate both mother and infant. Long before delivery, mother and infant have been kept at a climactic point of tension, able to achieve no resolution. the natural expulsion process is by now thoroughly fouled up, instumentation is used to "assist" the mother in expelling the baby. forceps and suction machines are casually used to claw or suck the infant out of the mother's body, by grabbing that fantastically fragile, all too sensitive, and utterly precious head. The vast majority of the time, such instrumentation is not necessary; and only in a rare emergency could an episiotomy by justified, even with all the complications caused by the medicine man's bag of tricks. The simple truth is that he likes to use his tricks; he likes the drama and impotance of his image, wielding all his mechanical toys, showing the incompetence of nature, and establishing his own superiority. The semi-drugged, overstressed, and exhausted infant is, of course, generally unable to get his breath.the many new, unused coordinates of muscles are confused and malfunctioning. His body is reacting only; all synchronous interactions have long since been destroyed. In addition to his prolonged body fear of oxygen deprivation, when he is finally sucked or clawed out of the mother, his entry is into a noisy, brilliantly lit arena.suction devices are rammed into the mouth and nose.(and) at the critical oxygen-short period, the umbilical cord has been cut. He is cleaned up from the bloodplaced on cold, hard scales like any other piece of meat in a factory..wrapped up to protect him from those demon drafts... No book can ever express the full ramification of this crime against nature. (and) All future learning is affected". Pearce, Joseph Chilton, 1977, "Magical Child", Dutton Publishing, New York
