Are you refering to Jon Sullivan's wife? I used to work for the Festival
when he was the Pollie.

Cheers,

Cas.

Congratulations on your birth. Enjoy your infant, they grow up too fast.
One of the organisers of Woodford's festival wife is a supporter of NMAP
and she is a pollie (and so was he at one stage) so good luck for
Woodford. It is a magical festival. Keep up BAG - there is a need for
the group.

Cheers Barb

My little boy Daniel James McCullough was born on May 3 by (perceived
necessary) Caesarean Section.

We did up a homepage with some of the pictures from the birth and Dan's
first few days if you want to take a look. The Birth story is on there
too.

http://members.ozemail.com.au/~iccoffee/daniel_homepage.html

It has been a long hard journey for me these past 10 months but boy has
it been educational and to all those on this list who told me not to go
Private... You were absolutely right... That said... towards the end I
was planning on homebirthing behind my obs back with the mw I hired for
birth support but the forces of nature proved to be against me in the
end. On the up side, I had excellent post natal care but I reckon the
ward midwives had some interesting things to say about me especially
since one of them found my placenta in the fridge in a plastic bag
(hubby forgot to take it home... Oops! : )).

If I do have another baby I will definitely be homebirthing as it seems
impossible to have a positive VBA2C birth in hospitals here. I wish I
was wrong about that. I doubt I'll have another anyway but will wait a
couple of years before thinking about that.

Anyway, I am looking forward to learning much from this list and also,
just to let you know, I will be very busy in the coming months putting
together and executing a media strategy to promote the NMAP here in Qld
before the State Election which is due for late this year or early next
year. If anyone wants any input to this and has some bright ideas or
contacts please email me privately.

Also, a group of us from the BAG (Birth Action Group) have put together
a proposal to do a forum titled Birth in Australia-- Agony or Ecstasy
at the Woodford Folk Festival this summer. We find out on August 31 if
our gig has been accepted into the programme. Let's hope so.

Better go and make dinner while Bub is asleep...

Dear Cas

I am yet to read your story, but just wanted to say welcome little Daniel
and you are one brave woman.  I was one of the more vocal opponents to your
private Ob VBAC plan.  I am sad you did not achieve your VBAC but I
overwhelmingly congratulate you on your journey and ability to see what so
many can't.  I call this personal growth!! Enjoy your bub, relish in your
new found strength and in a while when you can fit it in let's rock those
lazy QLD pollies out of their comfort chairs!

I am so much a black and white person but it is stories and experiences like
this that gives me the very necessary grey shades my school teachers all
said I needed!!!

Hope to help with the BAG/QLD MC campaign.
