Re: [ozmidwifery] FW: [C-Aware] parvovirus

Hi Leah, I haven't had parvovirus myself, but have had a few antenatal clients who have been exposed to it, who had no adverse affects. The baby can apparently have severe anaemia if the mother has an active infection and it passes the placenta. Women exposed to parvovirus have a blood test

[ozmidwifery] gestational diabetes and antenatal ebm

I remember some time ago one of the midwives on this list having a practice of having mothers with GDM express colostrum antenatally so it was available to feed the baby in the early postnatal period should the baby's BSLs be low. I have just been trying to search pubmed to find research on

Re: [ozmidwifery] gestational diabetes and antenatal ebm

Hi Marilyn I won't swear to it but I don't know that there is any research out there on this practice. However to give newborns their own mother's milk is kinda natural and not really something that we need research to prove is a good thing do we? Wouldn't it be more to the point to ask those

[ozmidwifery] Postnatal Observations

Hello Everyone Wondering If I can tap into your minds of wisdom. We are currently fighting with a registrar at work regarding post natal observations. At present if a woman has had a normal vaginal birth with no complications either antenatally or during the birth we do not routinely take BP, P

Re: [ozmidwifery] Postnatal Observations

I'm a BMid student at UniSA so I don't have any practice info to give you but I do know that routine measurement of temp, pulse, BP and fundal height are in table 5 of 'A guide to effective care in pregnancy and childbirth' - meaning it is a form of care unlikely to be beneficial. Tania -

RE: [ozmidwifery] Postnatal Observations

Are these healthy women actually woken up for obs during the night! That is ridiculous. We do daily T, P and only do the BP if elevated antenatally or in Birth Suite and then it may only be daily. If she required IOL for BP then she may be on TDS BP never at night. After the first 24 hours of a

Re: [ozmidwifery] seizure at birth

Most unusual. Usual practice would assume eclampsia until proven otherwise. I once had a woman, normotensive, postdates multigravid have a grand mal seizure immediately following an ARM for induction of labour. Fortunately the Obs was just outside the door washing his hands. On questioning

Hi Melanie, At my workplace we do temperature and pulse twice a day, BP only if they have a history of hypertension in their pregnancy. I don't know if it is evidence based. Nicole C - Original Message - From: Melanie Jane Dunstan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday,
