2004-07-20 Thread Larissa Inns
HI Julie! This sound possibly more like a succenturiate (sp?)lobe than two separate placentas. I'm thinking there is a risk of the vessels breaking and subsequent bleeding and also of retained fragments (cotyledons) as far as I know. I have seen one but it was a c/s so I'm not really 100%.

I just looked after a woman who had one (epidural) booked prior to induction - reason given was that the anaesthetist will be in surgery and it's not convenient for him to come and give you an epidural when you'll need one And the women are paying how much for this service?!?!? The mind

"I would be very interested to hear from student midwives on this - what exactly are you being taught nowadays?" I have always been taught to await the signs of separation before doing anything else -being patient significantly reduces the chanceof problems resulting from "failure to wait"

Is there reallya 10% risk of uterine puncture? I've not seen that stat yet ( or did I have my eyes shut? LOL). As for the vasectomy - nothing is fool proof and I personally know 2 people who had failed vasectomies where they magically regrew back together (the body is very clever!).

Title: Message Hi Sylvia! There are a few anaesthetists at WCH who run hypno classes but I can't remember names. Hopefully someone from there will know!! I am sure they are open to everyone as I have had a few private clients not birthing at WCH go to them with good results. Good luck!

Yes - this was the case at the hospital I am doing placement at. The woman's placenta was removed as much as possible but a small bit was left behind (obviously). Around 3 months later the remaining bit came away on it's own - it had calcified and was like a small rock. I don't know if she

Well I think I've seen it all now - just perusing ebay when I found that you can buy cow colostrumcapsules online!! The colostrum is harvested in the first 5 milkings after calving and then dried into powder. Not only do we humans have to interfere in our ownbirths we are now down to

Those of you who are ANF members and receive the ANJ there is a great article (3 pages!) in this months issue by Fiona Armstrong titled "The fight to care" and it's all about women having the right to choose midwifery care. Well worth a read. Hugs, Larissa

I only know of a couple of private OB's who use it at one of our local private hospitals. Most choose not to use it because of the cost. Hugs,Larissa. My next question for the list is to ask of any sites where Midwives are using cervidil. Cheers Alesa

Well since I have absolutely no clue about gardening I planted a lime tree straight on top of my youngest daughter's placenta (14 months after being in the freezer LOL I think I had letting go issues!) and while it didn't die it didn't exactly thrive either for about a year. It's looking really
