Hi Cheryl,
The 'exagerated marriage proposal' and the rubbing vigorously of women's
upper thighs was for posterior babes but could be used in any labour to
encourage the baby to move deeper into the pelvis - not specific if I recall
correctly.

With reference to the discussion on the obstetrician deCosta
I find it such a sad fact that she is a woman effectively working against
women.
As a woman I feel a very strong bond to all my sisters to work together
towards humanizing birth and strengthening the role and value of motherhood.

Julie wondered if the obstetric training plays a role.
The other night I had my 4 mth old in emergency for suspected meningitis (fortunately
test came back negative), when getting a picture of his history the Dr asked about my
pregnancy, was he a term baby,etc? As I was replying he was 9 days
I'm having a very wicked visualisation of the doctor nearly choking as
you said no, spontaneous water birth at home
She may not be as quick to assume anymore

They were also getting their heads around my un-vaccinated, co-sleeping baby as well.
Strangely it was the co-sleeping the Dr had the most trouble with. No doubt they also
teach the dangers of this at Dr school as well. The nurses on Paed ward were cool
about it though!

Hi all,
I'm needing a bit of information if you are able to help me. My sister
in law just came home from a 20 week scan. The Gyno told her that there
was some space in the baby's brain. He measured the distance from the
skull to the inner membrane(??) 5 times and only once did the meaurement
I remember once being told that women (in the context of obst) are worse to
women because they do everything a male would do but with out any sense of
chivalry!

Sylvia,
My initial gut feeling is that your sister-in-law is right to believe that
nothing is wrong. So often I have seen terrible fear dumped on women
unecessarily due to some anomaly on an ultrasound scan ... especially if the
measurement was done 5 times and only once was it slightly
Dear Sylvia, Are the spaces due to choroid plexus
cysts? My sister was told with her first son in-uterothat he had
spaces in his brain that were indicative of a chromosomal disorder and he also
had other 'soft' signs such as receding chin. She had a real dilemma and I think
chose the amnio.
Sylvia, should have added that these spaces are
quite common and disappear of their own accord at birth.

Slyvia,
An ultrasound scan is not 100% accurate as we all know. Ultrasounds can
fail to pick up significant abnornalities or suggest a problem when one is
not there. Our family were thrown in total chaos and confussion when my 4th
nephew was diagnosed with a possiblity of hydrocephalus on the 20
Even though I knew the risk factors amnios were 1-2% loss of baby, by
reading it in the last post about something entirely different to vbac
-which is where my head is currently at- I am once again drawn in
amazement at the flexibility of what risks are okay and what is deemed
too risky in the
