Re: [ozmidwifery] any benefit to teaching women self examination?

Maxine, A few years ago I cared for one of our teens in labour and on admission she stated that she had felt her own cervix, which I was confident about when she was able to give me a good description with only minor prompting from me. Mind you some women look at me strangely when I ask if

Re: [ozmidwifery] managed versus physiological 3rd stage, was: after birth pains

I have done quite a few physiological third stages and, like labours, are all different. Have had a couple of women who have been in a lot of pain until the placenta delivered, then it was cured. They complained of back pain. Both eventually asked for synto to get the placenta out and stop the

Tracy Hogg from the Uk ( who actually wrote The Baby Whisperer) did die last year BUT there are many people who claim to be baby whisperers - - usually childless themselves - not that that is always bad but how can you understand the hormonal mummy mindset that gears us up to respond to our

RE: [ozmidwifery] Sunrise

Hi Pinky and fellow listers, I find this aspect of broken connections quite disturbing, as I'm sure you do too, from the point of view of pregnant couples in groups they often have friends/acquaintances who have been to baby boot camp/ severe sleep school as they call it, and their friends say it

RE: [ozmidwifery] managed versus physiological 3rd stage, was: after birth pains
