Yesterday, when visiting one of my clients who is
planning a VBAC, she showed me a pamphlet her Obs had given her (he is pro VBAC
obviously). It is a new 'release' from the RCOG for women and is positive
toward VBACs!! The pamphlet is quite well written, decent language generally,

Dear Frank - I endorse the comments of Mary, Jan, Sally etc. I'm assuming
you've had extensive experience with water births to come to this
enlightened opinion. I've never seen a newborn baby so filled with air that
it is like a ball underwater... in fact, in my text book they have no air

Hi Jo,
I'm not sure on this but I have heard that a speech pathologist can assist
with this and of course a good osteopathic treatment can also be of benefit.
Good luck,

Hi ,
Yesterday I had a wee chat to Bruce Sutherland - he
started the Hawthorn Birth Centre and still has a few births there each month as
well as his other obstetric practice. He was telling me - utterly mortfied -
that the previous day a well known private hospital in Melbourne had a busy

I am planning a homebirth for my third child in Feb and would be very happy
to be interviewed if you still need people (I live in Adelaide). If you are
interested, email me back and I'll give you my phone number.

Dear All,
The most important right that a birthing mother has is to give birth
GENTLY, EASILY and without PAIN.
What really upsets me, is that most women expect pain, and what you expect,
is what you get. And yes, I know I'm oversimplifying, however, pain is a

Hello Frank,
You have an interesting approach, but I think the clou of your story is to
think that pain is equivalent to hurt. Giving a mother an epidural can hurt
her more than help her cope with pain of normal labour
Pain in labour is fysiological and when a women can cope with the pain, it
Pete,
I my opinion i would want the water to be at a
"drinking" quality at least!
This would require boiling and filtering to remove
bacteria and infectious substances especially in the case of a
tear.
Your water would have to be "pre-prepared" comming

but the mchn made her wake her up to be weighed the other day and
I'm pedantic. It's not bouancy; it's buoyancy. And there are too many
beautiful water births for me to be convinced Frank has any credibility in this.
But I don't know about dam water...dams can have some horrible stuff in
them.

Hi Frank, in the spirit of good discussion, not hostility, I offer the
thought that the people who tell me about pain free labour and birth are all
men. Despite the thoughts behind the sentiments about why women fear labour
