Dear List,
Is there a site I can go to, to compare Woman Friendly Language as opposed to "Obstetric terms" please? As an educator, it can be very trying to use correct terminology at times and for the benefit of my students, they also need to be aware of current appropriate language.
Thank you

You are right many of the cases the women had significant complications, and you would want to hope that it was women in severe distress that died, rather than healthy ones. The point the report very clearly makes is the

Dear Justine,
I have just read your posting to Ausfem, you are doing a great job. I
gather from your later comments it wasn't well received. If we are failing
to reach feminists then I am worried. What were there issues or
concerns?

Is that all? Under 40%?

Hi, no ideas how to fix severe nausea but it is important to keep up the
fluids. I was recommended water with fresh lemon juice and found it easier
to keep down than plain water. Hiope this helps, Cheers, Julia M.

Dear Justine,
This is a great response. I am sitting here listening to Radio

My mum only told me in the last few years that I was
"delivered" (well pulled out) by forceps. No wonder I'm so cranky about so much
and particularly about birth. I can't find the dents yet though!!

My 5 years working in Muslim countries cemented my desire not to expose women unnecessarily even during examinations and birth. If she throws off that covers that I have put on it is her business but most appreciate the thought.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful birth story

I believe that WCH did a trial on ginger (still going on?), which
proved to be very effective in controlling nausea. A good friend of
mine is just going through the worst nausea of all her pregnancies and
she has been taking ginger tablets, as she hates ginger. It seemed to
be help her
Dear Debby
What a wonderful birth, congratulations. I am sure you are completely over

Lets hope you have paved the way for more women to have vbac's in birth
