[ozmidwifery] Two little kids
Two little kids are in a hospital, lying on stretchersnext to each other, outside the operating room. The first kid leans over and asks, What are you inhere for? The second kid says, I'm in here to get my tonsilsout and I'm a little nervous. The first kid says, You've got nothing to worryabout. I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep, andwhenyou wake up they give you lots ofJell-O and ice cream. It's a breeze The second kid then asks, What are you here for? The first kid says, A circumcision. The second kid replies, Whoa, good luck buddy, I hadthat done when Iwas born. Couldn't walk for a year.
Re: [ozmidwifery] the Baby Catcher
Gee I'll have to try this one again...I had to stop after the first couple of chapters or so as I just found her writing style a bit self-inflated and her midwifery style a bit gung ho...maybe I was being too sensitive. Anyone have a similar experience? - Original Message - From: Robyn Dempsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 3:20 PM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] the Baby Catcher I've also read 'Baby Catcher'. A wonderful, wonderful book for midwives. I emailed the author and told her how much I enjoyed the book. She was delighted, and told me she was doing one more birth ( the woman who lived next door to her), and then she would 'hang up her pinards'. A truly insightful book, I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

Yes and I too laughed and cried on the plane. It was great to have something really worthwhile to read while waiting, waiting, waiting in airports. By the end of the book I felt I knew her so well and such an insight into what midwives go through. regards Di Gardner - Original Message - From: Andrea Quanchi [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ozmidwifery ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Friday, May 19, 2006 1:54 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] the Baby Catcher I bought myself Peggy Vincent's book the Baby Catcher for IMD and have just finished reading it. I laughed, I cried but most of all thought I was reading a book that could have been about me. I would encouraged everyone to read it.

[ozmidwifery] Superbrats - on tonight
Just an FYI sorry if not appropriate. SUPERBRATS Are we bringing up a generation of brats? Have todays parents lost the plot? Some parents are ready to admit they lose control of their children as soon as theyre toddlers. The result can be spoilt, self centred, unruly kids. Kids who grow up ill-equipped to deal with the discipline of school. Do we live in a world where parents have to turn to televisions Supernanny to find out how to bring up their children? Recent studies at the University of Queensland reveal almost a third of parents have sought professional help for their childs behavioural or emotional problems. Over fifty percent of parents report high stress levels. Professor Matt Sanders, a leading expert in parenting, says we are producing me me children who cant cope with disappointments. The reasons include over-worked parents, family breakdown, and confusion about the best way to bring up kids. Not everyone agrees. The optimists claim todays kids are much happier than the seen-but-not-heard generations. Others are horrified at the tough methods of the Supernanny and her followers, arguing the discipline of the naughty corner damages children. On this weeks INSIGHT, we bring parents together with professionals who reckon they know how best to raise tomorrows generation. SUPERBRATS will be broadcast on TUESDAY MAY 23RD at 7.30pm on SBS. Repeated on FRIDAY at 1pm at MONDAY at 2pm.

[ozmidwifery] allergies and vaginal , c/section birth
Hi Everyone, I wonder if anyone has come across any research that looks at the mode of delivery and the incidence of severe allergies / asthma in these children. Thanks in advance Zoe
Re: [ozmidwifery] allergies and vaginal , c/section birth
I can't put my hands on it now but i know it does exist! I have read about increased risk of asthma and allergy with C/S, and also spoken with a paediatric allergist who also concurs. So it's out there! Perhaps a google search?
