RE: [ozmidwifery] article for my child magazine
Hi Sazz, Your story sounds suitable but I will just check a few things as my editor is specific with who she'd like So she would like me to speak to someone around your age who has studied and began their career, however, instead of climbing the ladder they have decided to have a child - and like you say, defying the current social trend. She wants the story to help readers who are in the same positionand as it is aimed at middle to high income earners I think she is looking for someone in that demographic (gosh just writing that sounds really snobby, doesn't it, but hey that's what she wants...) She doesn't want the person to fit the typical stereotype - struggling, come from an uneducated background that type of thing that a lot of the stats show where young mothers are at - as opposed to the educated gals who put things off until older. Ok, I hope you get me drift, and if you think that suits you let me know, if not, that's cool, thanks for getting in touch, (and good luck with being a young mum!!)

RE: [ozmidwifery] article for my child magazine
Hi Kylie, and the rest of the list (this email can function as a general intro as well :D) Hmm let me see... I have a BA from the uni of Melbourne (double major in gender studies and political science), with honours in political science, and I am now working on my PhD in politics. I am also working for the department as a tutor in a range of subjects (teaching first, second and third year university students political theory), as well as tutoring in Bioethics at Monash University. I am also editor of an academic journal that the department produces annually. My partner also has a BA (double major in psychology and criminology) from uni of Melb with honours in criminology. He is now working fulltime for the Department of Justice.My major area of political theory is the different streams of feminism, so I have done a lot of thinking/writing/teaching about issues relating to motherhood and reproduction. And my PhD is a feminist analysis of the treatment of wimmin during pregnancy and childbirth within the Western medicalised world. I'm definitely educated, and definitely not putting off motherhood til later despite what I've learned :D That all sounds pretty stuff middle class to me :-) but let me know what your ed thinks. So, that's Sazz in a nutshell :) I'm delaying ttc until the end of the year because I have to speak at a conference overseas in November and don't want to fly pregnant, but as soon as I get back its full speed ahead LOL. Once I've finished my PhD, and had a baby, the plan is to become a doula and finally get to use my love, passion and knowledge about wimmin and birth in that way, as opposed to staying in academia.Cheers Sazz Kylie Carberry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Sazz, Your story sounds suitable but I will just check a few things as my editor is specific with who she'd like So she would like me to speak to someone around your age who has studied and began their career, however, instead of climbing the ladder they have decided to have a child - and like you say, defying the current social trend.

RE: [ozmidwifery] article for my child magazine
Title: Message Hi Kylie, it seems strange that one cannot do both these days-children and continued with career. I had my first at 23yo newly graduated as a RGON and continued to work full-time and studying. Age 28 for the second and then I went part-time 4 days per week. Is there anything wrong with that? I could not have managed staying at home all the time, child care was a pain with very few that opened before 0800 so night shift often became the preferable shift picking the child up after work from where hubby worked who started work at 0600 hours, no family in Australia to help etc. Kids are now 24 and 20 and are fantastic young people. I am now enjoying the 'free time'' I have now.
