me. I don't know what business a nurse in an incontinence clinic has
recommending major abdominal surgery, with it's attendant risks which are far
greater than vaginal birth. If I were the nurse, I'd be saying, "Have you

Does this mean that these women are all working
around with faecal incontinence? or does this mean that the 3rd degree tears
that are concealed not mean anything. If they are concealed how do they
find them? I am bamboozled by all this stuff!!

hi Lieve
the risk of transmission to bub in utero and during birth is low, although it is increased if mum is also HIV-positive. it is safe to breastfeed with hep C unless there are cracked or bleeding nipples - at which time there is a risk of transmission. so if its just on one side, bub can

Hi again,
I also forgot to add that the nurse practitioner also stated that an
episiotomy rate of 10-15% for birth was justified and there was only
'soft evidence' for promoting tears over episiotomies.
I do fully intend to follow this with a research search.
For those of you who have

Hi
Lieve,
We

as we probably care for women who have HIV, or hepatitis and don't know it.
Transmission is more likely if the mother has a high viral load, such as just
after infection, or if she

Thanks Nicole,
Normally we dont bath the babys after birth. My knowledge is also to wait
for interrupting mother-child contact toll after the first breastfeeding. Can we
give the bath 2-3 hours after birth?
What about waterbirth with hep C pos?
