Hello everyone,
I'm attacking that awful epidemic that is 'fear' in labour and producing an
article for the site for August, addressing these fears. Would any midwives
out there be interested in having a look at the list of the Top 12 fears and
contributing to the article? I started a discussion

from your reqular posts and I have been inspired
Just saw a promo for the Channel 7 News tomorrow night,
talking about new research that may influence mothers decision to induce
labour, showing one of our SA Obstetricians, and a woman saying you

there might be good reasons
Thanks Narelle for introducing yourself and see its not so scary so now

Far from being impossible I think its just another example of how clever babies and women's bodies are. I can just imagine that the baby was presenting ascinclitic and despite her best efforts could not progress through the pelvis but was causing the caput to form. At some stage after your second
I have not seen exactly as you describe Narelle but similar at
an earlier stage of labour.
I am sure it is related to the way the head is lined up with the
opening and the pressure behind the baby at the time. As you
know it is common to feel the difference if doing a PVE either

I agree with all that Andréa has said and
have seen this a number of times before. The caput on the side of the head is
a giveaway that it was ascynclitic. In fact, after a difficult, fiddly second

of position. The

Dear All
Just wondering if anyone knows about a semi-permanent type birth pool
suitable for use in a small birth unit (220 births per year).
There is the opportunity for corporate sponsorship to get this happening so

Any ideas?

Any idea about the budget?? I gave birth in a fantastic birth pool in the
uk, and have been in contact with the designer of the pool since seeing what
is available in Australia. They are able to provide and ship, let me know if
you want the details and I will dig them out,
Best wishes,

Hi Justine

Hi NarelleRemember me from Cairns Base? I was a student midwife in
those days. Funny you should mention thisi was at Maggie Banks's
workshop on the weekend adn that topic came upHer belief is that a baby
will try to escape numerous VE's if someone keeps pushing on its head.
Maggie Banks and her co-facilitatator at their recent
workshop, believe that there is someone producing birth ppools in oz
nowcontact them at www.birthspirit for
more details.

Hi Denise,
Yes, there will be a number of experts in caseload midwifery at the ICM
Congres in Brisbane many of whom are presenting papers. That's why it's a
good idea to come to the Congress if you can! Registrations are still open
- more than 1,900 midwives will be there! To register just
I loved Ina May Gaskins approach to doing a VE. Put your fingers in and
then rest gently on the cervix. Don't do.. just wait a moment so that
the cervix doesn't clamp. (if you think about doing a rectal exam you
know that the involuntary action it to clamp, if you wait a moment
