I
think it is ESSENTIAL for midwives and consumer groups to be working together on
this one. Amazingly enough, many complaints we hear about are from women
who feel their midwife let them down. Interesting issue (as I am a doula

Jo, you're speaking from my
heart as well. I was at a meeting last year of women working to support others
in birth trauma. All of us had been suicidal at one point, myself included, none
of us had had any support from careproviders.
I'm always happy to share my
journey but
I'm glad there was someone to
"deliver" her baby. Sigh. Don't women give birth?
Cute otherwise ;

On the
subject of traumatized womenmy two cents
When I
was 22 and pregnant for the first time, I had an innate fear, more like terror
really of going to hospital for the birth. I dont know what drove me
to so actively avoid a hospital birth but I just knew that it would
How about the dad in Melbourne yesterday morning
that delivered his baby in the back of the car?! My kids were

Well, after nine months on maternity leave, my finances (and my
husband!) have told me it is time to do some casual shifts at work.
This morning is my first one. I am just doing a 6 hour shift, and my
husband will bring my 8 month old, Will, to work for me at 10am for a
feed. :) (these
Good luck Jo, hope all goes well.

Hi

You

All the best for your challenging day and the days ahead! As a woman who

Janet JoI can only speak about the places I have worked where the vast majority of midwives are mothers and choose to work part time. If you are with a woman in labour and or attend her LUSCS you may not even get to see her again during her stay. She will see a different midwife/s each shift and
I remember it but I disagree
with it entirely. It struck me as no more logical and useful than the obstetric
refusal to offer OFP because a study showing a crude, almost silly form of it

Hi all,
My cousin told me she recently googled our name
"Boutsalis" and came up with quite a few hits. So out of curiosity I did

No, exactly, Jo. I mentioned yesterday (I think?) that I'm currently helping
a woman totally retraumatised by her hospital debriefing. It's called
Sanctuary Trauma, when a person is retraumatised, sometimes more seriously,
because they were mistreated when they sought help with a primary trauma.
"Any suggestions. Should all women have a follow up appointment with the
midwife who was at her birth, is this appropriate as they may have been part of
the problem, should all women have a follow up appointment but the woman be
allowed to choose who she wants the appointment with, at what
In relation to the previous posts.. I recently attended a lecture by Professor Debra Creedy (from Griffith University, Qld) on PTSD in relation to birth. She said that psychologists have accused her and her colleagues of making pathology where none exists!! You can read more of her work at:
