[ozmidwifery] Birth Attendant / Doula Directory
Hey everyone, On chatting to some fellow Maternity Coalition members and due to getting so many emails asking where to find doulas, I have decided to finally get up and running the Birth Attendant / Doula Directory I have been meaning to do for the last 12 months! Please feel free to check it out - have your details added or forward this onto others who might like to be added too. Hopefully well have a huge Australian resource where women can find someone to support them anywhere in Australia as well as helping those attendants / doulas out there wanting to do more births find them from the exposure on my site which is currently getting around 3,000 unique visitors a day and a bazillion hits not that hits count for much anyway.

Has anyone any information they can share regarding the management of newborns of insulin dependent diabetics? In particular I am looking for information regarding prenatal expressing of colostrum in order to feed it to the babe in place of formula.

Re: [ozmidwifery] Inducing labour
Probably not a PC suggestion but would a medical IOL be better than a C/S. The most natural is lots of intercourse with orgasim. On 3/29/06, Melissa Singer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Kim, Given that the baby has to come early, I'd be inclined to introduce non-pharmacological methods of cervical ripening first. For example, evening primrose oil, acupuncture, sexual intercourse plus many of the other herbal remedies. Evening primrose oil, in my opinion only, works wonderfully to ripen the cervix. Most importantly I would ask her to examine her feelings towards birth, natural versus caesarian and help her resolve any fears and anxieties. She also really needs to ask herself is she ready emotionally for this baby to be born. I have seen this work wonders on post dates women who want to avoid induction. Often the big thing for them is fear of change in family dynamics which they have avoided but once they face them and resolve that fearthey start labouring!!

I have a friend at college who is due to give birth to her second child in mid April. She has had a very bad time with all day sickness for the entire pregnancy and is at a point where all she wants is to get it out and has almost got to the point of booking a caesarean. Her first child was born by caesarean, so this idea doesn't seem to phase her, although I do get a sense that she'd like to have a natural birth this time round. The catch is it has to come early. Can anyone offer any suggestions or way to naturally bring on labour, so that a caesarean can be avoided. I have asked some of my lecturers about homoeopathics and herbal remedies and they have made the following suggestions that help only after labour has started. Cauloph 200 hourly to initiate labour if contractions are weak. or herbal partus preparation 2.5ml of this taken every hour during labour: raspberry leaf cramp bark motherwort sqaw vine wild yam Jasmine essential oil to the temples to give strong contractions. Jasmine, Clary Sage and Lavender essential oils to the temples on for pain relief. I am still looking into this but would appreciate any help you can offer.

Re: [ozmidwifery] But there is Dr delay to the story from NZ
There is a definite media bias in both Oz and NZ when it comes to midwifery/doctor involvement in Birth issues especially in the area of maternal/neonatal mortality. Interesting to note that the coroner in other recent cases in NZ has made recommendations for improvements but has not blamed/challenged the system in use in NZ. rgds mike On 3/23/06, Susan Cudlipp [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What I cannot understand here is that the woman was transferred at 23.45hours for mec liquor, and sat on for the next 5 hours, presumably being monitored by CTG all that time with the mec getting thicker. How come the midwives are copping the blame here? The attending midwife obviously transferred appropriately, it would appear to be hospital mis-management, either lack of monitoring, inexperience in reading the monitor, or lack of appropriate assessment by doctor on duty. Either way, to allow a woman to labour with fetal distress which must have been increasing for the babe to be so compromised is certainly unforgiveable - but why was she left so long? That is the question that needs to be answered. Even in hospital care the doctor was 'too busy' to assess this poor woman? Tragic.

Picture / Kenny Rodger Baby died after hospital errors 20.03.06By Martin Johnston Another baby has died after a series of mistakes partly blamed on midwife care. Tyla Phillips survived for only 7 hours after she was born at Middlemore Hospital in an emergency caesarean operation last August. A hospital specialist later told her parents, Heather and Alan Phillips, that if the operation had been performed three hours earlier she might have lived. The specialist said midwives misread a fetal heart rate monitor. The couple now want an inquiry into maternity and midwifery care because their case follows other newborn deaths with similar themes. Middlemore is saying little publicly about Tyla's birth until the Accident Compensation Corporation has reported its decision to the hospital and Health and Disability Commissioner Ron Paterson has investigated. The hospital says it may refer the case, which had devastated the staff involved, to the commissioner, or medical or midwifery bodies. However, hospital documents and a tape recording the Phillips have of one of their meetings with senior clinicians catalogue the mistakes that led to Tyla's death on August 18 and a follow-up internal review. A key failure was midwives' mis-reading of a fetal heart rate monitor, according to the obstetric consultant on call at the time, Dr Alec Ekeroma, on the tape. He also indicated that the fetal blood-acidity test which led to the caesarean decision - done after an obstetric registrar reviewed the heart monitoring - was unnecessary in the circumstances and wasted time. He said the 21-minute caesarean operation - Tyla was born at 5.53am - should have been done probably two or three hours earlier. If it had been, this may have changed the outcome. Mrs Phillips was several days overdue when she went to the Middlemore-allied Botany Downs Maternity Unit, which was managing her pregnancy. The unit's midwives had her transferred to Middlemore at 11.45pm on August 17. Her waters had broken around 9pm, containing what her medical file says was moderate meconium (faeces from the baby). Staff noticed thick meconium when she arrived at the hospital. The presence of meconium can indicate a distressed baby. Because of
Re: [ozmidwifery] Birth Attendant / Doula Directory
Thats absolutely true Kelly- I tell lots of women about doulas -especially re postnatal support as this is when I see most women and they are dumbfounded and excitedthat such support is an option. The more the merrier! I tell mums how I hired a doula when I was sick a few months ago- the extra 'mothering' was such a boost, even as a one off - and despite not having a baby.I think ALL mothers need mothering!

Re: [ozmidwifery] article FYI
The other concern is that a very high persentage of the worlds soy is GE. On 3/21/06, leanne wynne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Studies Short on Soy Formula Risks Experts See Little Health Danger With Formula By Todd Zwillich WebMD Medical News Reviewed By Louise Chang, MD on Friday, March 17, 2006 March 17, 2006 -- There is not enough scientific data to determine whether or not soy formula consumed by millions of infants poses a health risk, a government panel concluded Friday. Experts say they have little concern that an estrogen-like substance in soy -- known as genistein -- poses a developmental risk to infants who consume it or whose parents consumed it in soy-based foods. Still, very few studies have looked at the long-term health effects of soy formula, which is used to feed an estimated 25% of all U.S. infants, the panel says. Soy has raised concerns not only because of its exploding consumption by U.S. infants and adults but also because studies have shown that genistein can interfere with hormonal function in rats and their offspring. A variety of toxic effects, including stunted growth, sexual organ abnormalities, and decreased fertilization, have all been observed in laboratory animals. All of the effects appear to be caused by genistein's ability to mimic the effects of natural estrogen. Some researchers also suspect soy of playing a role in reduced breast cancer rates in Japan, where soy consumption is very high. The committee says it had negligible concern that usual intakes of genistein cause adverse health effects in newborns and infants who consume soy formula, though one expert -- Ruth Etze, MD -- dissented from the conclusion. Etzel, a pediatrician at the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage, could not be reached for comment. Human infants consume much lower genistein doses than laboratory animals, and most of the chemical is not absorbed into the human bloodstream, says Karl Rozman, PhD, a University of Kansas toxicologist who led NIH panel. But at the same time, few studies have looked at soy's effects in a controlled way, he explains. More Study Needed That means there are studies there, but they are not allowing us to come to a firm conclusion one way or another. But it also means that we do not see a problem, says Rozman. One study pegged infant formula feeding as a risk factor for premature breast development in girls. Experts called for better research to determine if that and other potential health effects are real. Another case-control study to examine premature breast development in females following exposure to soy infant formula is needed, the committee concludes. Panelist Jatinder Mhatia, MD, says soy formula has not shown a blip on the radar screen in terms of ill health consequences, despite use by an estimated 40 million total infants. But Mhatia also says parents are up to 10 times more likely to give their infants soy formula in the U.S. than in Britain. Some countries, including Israel, have restricted formula use to prescription-only status for infants who cannot consume milk. But American doctors are quick to recommend formula for fussy infants, which parents are heavily encouraged by advertising to use, he says. Only in our country are we using [soy] in a free-for-all, Mhatia, a pediatrician at the Medical College of Georgia, tells WebMD. Soy has a specific indication, and we tend to use and abuse in America. Why should you use soy unless there's an indication? he says.

RE: [ozmidwifery] Birth Attendant / Doula Directory
Title: Message Im not going to be an official body or register for it; its at your own risk. As I see it; I speak to stacks of Doulas wanting to do more births but they do not know how to go about it, and I get stacks of emails and calls from women wanting to find Doulas and to find out what they do and what they offer. The current registers are not accessible enough, do not get enough traffic on a daily basis and are not advertised anywhere near enough for women in the mainstream to find them. Unless you are in the MC or some other organization that isnt in the mainstream, you just don't know where to go to find one. If you google find a Doula in Australia, you dont get registers at all you only get personal sites and links to forums where women are asking about it. So, I am merely providing a list of contact details of women who are Doulas, like you will find on places like the Bub Hub who have lists on everything from A-Z, only I will be sure to ALSO include a disclaimer, that its for reference only and I or my business in no way endorse any of them, and that reference checking etc is their own responsibility etc. I think, no I know, I can offer far more exposure to Doulas and the profession through having this list and the articles I have been writing and promoting again there may be lists out there but whos actively promoting them and where can they be found? The power of the internet and marketing on it is highly under-utilised. It has taken me three years of work on BellyBelly for it to get as busy as it is today, its now in a position where I can promote stuff like this and really make an impact. So fingers crossed hey, maybe in a few years well be recognized as a profession in households we are not doonas, donors but DOULAS (or birth attendants like me).
