Hi Rachel,
I am so sorry that you have had that experience which I know to be
endemic in the system.
With the managerial heirarchy that exists - the blame game is all that
is played out, with nurturing an unknown component.
WE as midwives sit at the door - of life and death - with all its
Hi all,
Can anyone comment on what makes the membranes 'tough'..ie. hard to break (AROM) or *slow* to breaknaturally ? (hard to measure yes)Does this exist or is it just something that happens?
Many thanks,

I have absolutely no data on this, but someone once told me it
correlates with weight gain during pregnancy. Has anyone else heard
of this?

I haven't heard of this Jo but did read something fairly recently (possibly on
this list!) that women who took vitamin C were less likely to have pre-labour
ruptured membranes. It is interesting that some women's membranes seem to
break so easily, like when doing a VE and others stay intact
Hi everyone,
I need some help! I'm trying to formulate a policy regarding co-sleeping and
want to offer alternative sleeping arrangements for mothers and babies whilst
in hospital. Does anyone know of a special cot that has been developed that
allows the baby to sleep with mum but in a separate
Hi All,
I'm new to the list. Raelene you might like to look into the Arm's Reach
Co-Sleeper. I don't think they are available in Australia, need to be
ordered from the US. Here is a link to their site http://armsreach.com/

Hi Raelene,
Here are just a few websites I found re: co-sleeping cots...hope this helps!

Just general thoughts...not directed personally at you Raelene...
A Few years ago when I had my daughter at mater mothers in Brisbane, some of
the midwives that cared for us actually encouraged my daughter sleep beside
me. We were having breastfeeding challenges (to say the least) and were
Hi Belinda =- James McKenna's video footage is pretty convincing that sober,
undrugged mums( some hospital mums will be medicated and this could be an
issue) are not a danger to their babies. I personally find it offensive
that mothers could be considered less responsive than an inert cot
Hi Michelle, Jo and Kristin,
I would expect there to be a co-relation between maternal nutrition and
strength or thickness of membranous sac, because in every other respect what
a woman eats, drinks, smokes etc will impact on her tissue so it stands to
reason doesn't it, though I don't recall
Good points -I can definately relate to what you're saying Belinda!
I personally came to cosleeping relatively late in my mothering career but
it developed very gently and instinctivley. I'd never thought of needing
policy guidelines or special apparatus to do what best suited my babes and
Hi Julie - nice to 'see' you again :-)
It does make sense re Vit C. Theother nutrients for epithelial/mucous membrane strength are the bioflavonoids (very similar to Vit C), Vit A or betacarotene, and zinc.
This woman in question was supplementing her diet with such nutrients (she was a
I don't have a contact for you Raelene, but I congratulate you again on your
progressiveness, and once again not allowing size or remoteness be an
excuse for developing Women and Baby centred policies.
For those who don't already know - Kalgoorlie is a great place for midwives
to do a stint

It's not necessarily the midwives preventing co-sleeping. I often hear 'the
baby's been awake all night. Would go to sleep and wake up as soon as I put
him down.' When suggestions are made to co-sleep, they don't want to
start bad habits. a lot of women are influenced by their mothers,
Yes! So true. As a permanent P/T night-duty person, I hear the don't
want to get him/her into a bad habit far too often. I find by night 2/3
they are so tired, they think that co-sleeping is a possibility and I
encourage them fully!
Mine still manage to find their way into our bed, and
