Dear all Twice in one night out of two years I feel compelled to answer posts on the list! This study has been used as a propellar for inaugerating new studies performed on the pregnant here in Denmark! Actually they claim to have a vaccine given to young girls up to 15 years old, that would

MessageHi Kirsten, Are you talking about the HPV (genital warts) vaccine? They say HPV is responsible for approx 70% of cervical cancer cases although I have seen that figure stretched beyond the 70% for the sake of advertising of the HPV vaccine. I'm not sure where the figure comes from. I

Hi Jayne It's actually a new - socalled revolutionary vaccine - against cervical changes. I do not not know that much about the actual compund yet - vague press info so far, but they do stress making it universal for all girls at onset of puberty and before sexual beginning, thus 15 years of age.

Hi list members, I wanted to send this email under how do you deal with your frustrations?' but the text is not really an answer to that discussion. Therefore I started a new one. I just quit my job at the local hospital, because I could no longer accept the way women and staff (lower in rank and

Hi Anke - a happy New Year to you Bullying is the name of the game in most Autralian maternity units. I can only suggest that you start working with women again and not with colleagues. Set up your own practice. It is so satisfying working one-to-one rather than deal with disgruntled staff who

Hi Jan, I thought of that, but there are already 2 childbirth educators here and they are good practitioners. I don't like to 'steal' their income. They are too good and nice for that. Also I like to help the women to birth too much. I'm addicted. Love Anke

I'm emailing again because I don't think the email I wrote yesterday went through? At least I didn't get it on my computer. To help me deal with my frustrations, so to speak, I am contemplating doing some more study so that I can do some independent antenatal education. I would love some

You could learn pregnancy massage and some of the natural therapies. Try the Australian College of Natural Therapies. Or a counselling degree / diploma - this complements midwifery very nicely. Try the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors - I know they run a distance education

Hi Anke Where are you geographically? You say you want to be around birthing women. How about setting up in private practice as Jan says?? You dont have to steal income from other childbirth educators. What about a complete midwifery practice, antenatal care, birth support in hospital,

Thank you Wendy, Homebirths would be ideal, but not at this present time due to litigation worries. Going into hospital is no deal either. As a hospital midwife there was no autonomy and there are no visiting rights and no insurance. I am in Townsville at the moment. Thanks Anke

Townsville is in desperate need of IMs. I believe there's one newly on the scene there atm? Out of interest, has anyone been sued since the insurance rubbish began? J - Original Message - From: Anke Dalman To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2007
