While on the subject of epidurals I read an article recently about a study involving ewes which had epidurals during their labour. They wouldn't mother their young. A new term I learnt this year while doing a short contract in a private hospitalwas the "cold epidural" - the epidural you have

Just think what a powerful force we [midwives] could be if
there was a worldwide statement on the rights of women... with signatories from

I was trying to send the article on ultrasounds to the list. It looks
like it didn't come through very well. I went to the Midwifery Today
website http://www.midwiferytoday.com/and
followed the link. It is really worth having as so many women think U/S is

Following the link I sent you I got the article and was easily able to

It's risky business taking pictures of unborn babies when there's no medical

Someone recently mentioned the advent of 'cold epidurals', where the
epidural is put in place before an induction is started. I'd not heard of

We have experienced a fewcold epidurals over
the past 18 months prior to Prostin. I can hear the collective outrage simmering
on that facet of this practice- trust me when I say that every single midwife in
my workplace felt exactly the same. However the deed was done so to speak prior

Hi Leanne
Have you tried a google search? I know we have to be careful about what we
find on the internet but sometimes you can find really good 'stuff'. I typed
in 'smoking and stillbirth' and found some interesting links to studies,
research etc in respected journals. You could try different key

The topic/issue of what doctors and some midwives say

Hi Leanne,
There is systematic review by Lumley and others on the Cochrane site, very
recent, about smoking. Just go into topics, Pregnancy and Childbirth. I
think August 2004. You will also find some good references at the end of the
