Hi Alice, http://ccli.org/nfp/contraception/pill.php was one place I found with references for further study - am too tired to dig further. I did find that blood clots in the veins are related to the oestrogen in the pill. Use of the pill is linked to blood clots forming which in some rare cases

Hi Angela, I actually met Ina May last week, and she was talking about her daughter-in-law's birth. Maybe that is , what inspired me to start thinking of this. I didn't see the photoes though. I will email her and ask. I loved the story how this woman was dancing with a stick trough labour.

Could anyone enlighten me is there a course for doulas in Australia. Iam a midwife and I have a friend who has had 2 years of mid training but due to circumstances was unable to finish her training. She would like to continue working as a support person with pregnant and labouring women.
