Hi,
Is 4kg that big? My last little homebirthed darling was 4kg born. I was
*so* proud. I knew she was big, plump and gorgeous by just looking at her.
I wanted her weighed straight away so I could brag about how well I'd grown
her and birthed her. Thankfully my wise midwives reassured me that
Funny you should say that! I had already planned a few days with Ina May as well as a conference in Philadelphia.
Thanks everyone so far for all the ideas! They are awesome!

I am studying to be a Midwife, doing a Diploma of Mid, here in Queensland.
Coming from NZ and having had my babies at home, I have a pretty 'normal'
view of birth, so have found Midwifery here somewhat surprising if not
shocking! I had the pleasure of 'catching' my first baby last week. I was

Hello Lindsay
It is frustrating working in a pte hospital because the contract is between
the woman and her practitioner. There isn't anything we can do when we
finally meet the woman except give her our best care. What we need to do is
enlighten the next generation. In particular, go into the
Have seen a woman with a previous 4+ kg baby born normally have a CS as US said this one was 5 kg. Turned out to be smaller than the first!!!
What a waste. That was around the time I two catches, both second babies and both easy births one 10lb 12oz and the other 11lb.

Lindsay wrote women tell me that going to an Obstetrician means that they
don't have to
wait up at the hospital clinics for hours, and at least they see the same
person each visit. I understand where they are coming from, it just seems
that, 'one person' they see, should be a Midwife.

Why is it that women have to wait so long at public clinics?
I can answer this question in respect to the local public hospital. I
worked in clinics a few weeks ago. They make appointments from 8.00am. No
doctors start before 9.30 at the earliest. Of course the women have to wait
for hours!
Because the Obs do not work their rosters out properly. The obs who is
running the clinic is also 'on' for all public work...C/S, birth suite etc.
This is so in at least one public hosp. Probably the bean counters being
miserable.

I remember lengthy waits at my private obs. Also, women tend=d to turn up
for antenatal clinics at the same time, and usually early. I noticed those
that came late in the day were seen quicker, because everyone else had come
at the start of clinic.Maureen.

Surely these women DO get seen and aren't turned away? So if they can
see them then they could stop booking appointments for so long before the drs
arrive? As I said, a good
