HI Kylie
I am a Doula (or Birth Buddy as we call
ourselves) and can put you in touch with the midwifes we work with here in
the public hospital in Townsville. We are welcomed by them and work well
together. if that interests you email me directly [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I remember years ago that Wyeth used to sponsor the meetings of the MCH
nurses in Victoria. They were very popular meetings because Wyeth laid on a
buffet lunch and held the meetings in very nice locations.
There was an outcry and it was stated (by the Health Department) that

GRR! I thought it would be a
contravention of the WHO Code too. My SIL with 2 week old baby is having
fun with her local MCH nursefunny we were just talking about it this
morning!
Barb, please let us know how it goes with the
complaint.

Hi Denise,
I am doulaing with three women who are accessing
one on one midwifery care also (not to mention the students they are having
follow them too!) I suppose it is up to the individual woman. Some
want the midwife there for the birth but want the doula there for moral support

I am going to paly devil's advocate and ask if yoyr

Hi everyone
Wellbeing mag would now like me to do an article on doulas, also for the baby special. I have a couple of doulas to talk to and am looking at adding the thoughts of a hospital based midwife who has seen the benefits of doulas in the labour ward.
Let me know if anyone would like to hel
Hi Alesa,
The Epi-No might not be everyone's cup of tea, but new research has just
been published that is very positive in its outcomes. The study was done in
Israel (where I am headed tomorrow, for a week of workshops) so I will be
very keen to hear what the midwives have to say about it. Israe
What a sad reflection of the attitudes of
the Maternal and Child Health Nurses. Keep up the good work, Barb, you're
dedication will shed light wherever you go. Kind regards, Lois

I also have an issue with this Alesa - it reinforces the woman as being
incapable of giving birth without some sort of aid. There was ahealthy
discussion about the Epino some time ago on ozmid. I think it is quire
perverse actually. Reminds me of a Lord's procedure, only for the vagina.

Hi,
Last week I had rather an upsetting
experience. I was invited to speak at a meeting of local Maternal and
Child health nurses about the National Health and Medical Research Council

Hi Janine
There is a great little book called "Nutrition in pregnancy and lactation" by Worthington,B. Vermeersch,J. and Williams, S. printed by Mosby way back in 1977. If there are updated editions available it would be of assistance to you.
Most of the American texts have HEAPS on adolescent pr
While you are at it (printing off and discussion) have an indepth look at
the 'epi-no' product as well.
More damaging in the long run but the message for the pregnant woman is just
as disempowering
Cheers
