Just a thought -- perhaps I'm too
cynical, but there wouldn't be -- ahem -- obs, midwives etc who'd -- ahem --
'punish' women for making them work on their holidays???
Oh, surely not?

Dear Sue,
I think I understand your feelings trough and through. I worked in a
hospital for 20 years . They kicked me out because I was always fighting for
the parents, to keep medicalisation off and to get some of a breastfeeding

Hello Gretta, I would suggest MIDIRS and/or The Practising Midwife - a UK

Dear Sue,
What can I say? I understand your feelings having been through a very
different situation but with similar feelings at the end of it. Don't
let them beat you, we need people like you or else the obstetric nurses
will be the only ones left looking after the women. Please write your

Glad to hear of the safe arrival.
Dear Sue
I only know you by your great reputation over the years and I have admired your skill
and dedication. I'll add my love and thoughts to those of all the women you've
attended, all the partners and families, all the colleagues, all those who love you.
You will feel better in time -
Hi Lieve,
Just thought I'd respond to your comment about not going with couples into
hospital - I take it that means if a transfer is needed.
In 1995 a policy was brought in that any health professional could report
anyone to the Department of Community Services, it seems that birthing

Hello Sue,
We are all aching in our hearts from reading you story- it is one we all
have encountered and it is intensley frustrating, harrowing, unfair and
inhumane.
Last week I accompanied a friend of mine to a birth in our local hospital
and the staff we ecnountered there were awful. The

52 was a very good year -the year of the
dragon!
But no bangs -just a load of laughs as I went to
dinner with a van load of ladies- had always "planned" a big one but things just
didnt work out last year - maybe 60 will be really wild!

Hi Andrea,
Thankyou for your lovely words and some help in the direction I can take
here. Do you have specific information/data/policies you will be referring
to when writing to the hospital re your recent awful circumstance? I would
really like to include information other than the emotive stuff
Could you send me information on how to temporarily
close down my ozmidwifery email link, as am heading to NZ for a midwifery
experience beyond my wildest dreams.
Look forward to your reply

Dear Sue,
Julie's suggestion is, I think, a good one. I have been in touch with an
investigative reporter for the SUNDAY show about my own birth experience
and the response has been positive. The more he hears from people like
you and women like me the more likely the issue will be launched onto
Ahh Sue!
Crying my eyes out here as I try to type this reply. I too have seen this
type of behaviour from midwives and am always astounded. Currently, I am
looking for another position in a different hospital as the one I am
currently working in seems to only employ these midwives in their
