RE: [ozmidwifery] Fw: help needed
As far as I know, fluid levels dropping can also mean that the baby is just getting ready to be born.

Has been told today to come in for c/section tomorrow at 0630 and the staff are refusing to to a sweep and stretch ( even though the Reg said to have one 1 week ago) I have advised castor oil and to question why tomorrow. They have mentioned fluid levels dropping, but haven't done anything about that- sounds like scary medical tactics to me. Has anyone got any ideas, I would like to be there to do a sweep but I'm in Victoria. Thanks Cath
Re: [ozmidwifery] Fw: help needed
Has she been in touch with the women from Birthrites? Someone could support her to just stay home until labour is established which sounds about the only way she will achieve a vaginal birth. I hate how women are put in these appalling positions.

Re: [ozmidwifery] Fw: help needed
I'm kicking myself that I hadn't mentioned that earlier. She has a very supportive husband and Mum, but is running into the comments of just have the caesar from what she feels is everyone she meets. They are staying in a cabin in Perth somewhere, as vbac is not allowedin Kununurra. I have suggested she tries to get her mind off bad thoughts and try to have a big belly laugh . Someone told me the video Kenny is funny and I thought it may just help her to relax. One doctor has even told this couple today that after 10 days overdue the baby is at risk of cerebral palsy. dani said her husband was bewildered by that after the visit and she was in tears, not knowing what to say. first section was for breech by the way, I was with her for that, 39weeks and lashings of vernix covering the 3kg baby. I have emphasised that she can say no but the scare tactics are very forceful. G. They are both scared of getting all the staff offside as well.

Re: [ozmidwifery] Fw: help needed
Well,..the bottom line is that she can only be caesared by consenting to surgery. Kununurra cannot refuse to treat her (negligence) nor remove her from their premises by force (assault). If she does't want surgery she needs to stay away from the places where surgery happens ! Turning up fully dilated usually does the trick ! No one can operate on her while she is sitting on the couch at home !!

Re: [ozmidwifery] Fw: help needed
She is in Perth, 3000kms from Kununurra trying to make it happen.. I have talked with her about options, and someone off this list is going to see her this afternoon. I love how this list works, as my husband often says, we're all sisters.
