I am happy to be a resource Rosemary - although we are a
private hospital we have a 20% waterbirth rate (of total births). If the medicos
would like to discuss anything, they could contact the docs at the unit who
would be happy to share. Ditto the midwives and of course the
women!!!

can anyone tell me the correct title or even the
web address of (what I was lead to believe) the Women's Hospital Group in
Australia? I have tried a google search on WHG Aust etc searched the
WCH web site and can find no listing. I must have the wrong title but
don't know what it could be?
Sorry Alesia I forgot - have you seen the Brazilian
Mama doll from Birth International? SHE actually gives birth, has a placenta and
umbilical cord - and breasts with nipples!! - a bit more expensive than a
Barbie.

Hi Alesia,
who makes the Steffi Love? I guess they havent got
a PR machine like Mattel's causing a stir. Its such a game isnt it - I did a

Yes I have, but the cost was a deterrant to its
purchase- too many books and charts to buy not enough money :). A great doll
though, I specially like the breasts with nipples on that doll.

Actually, I have to admit that I thought it - marginally - better than a lot of articles lately. At least they did put both sides, and had Andrew Child being quite categorical that vaginal birth was better/ safer than a section. The point I think they were trying to make is that the dr's are
