Sue, Can I ask, do you work at Swans? I saw in the local paper that they have upgraded the facilities and have installed and new bath. It would be a bit mean (not to mention misleading) to market it and then tell women they can't use it. Amy _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:

[ozmidwifery] Goodbyes

I too appreciate the variety of input from all contributors.  Things get a bit heated but that’s life at the coalface. Our biggest challenge is not each other but an attitude that says women can’t be in charge of their own bodies and make their own decisions.  Let’s not lose sight of that g

It would be good if we could change the ordinary persons thinking from “intervention is necessary to save lives and prevent bad outcomes- and that the trade- offs are minimal” to the truth about how dangerous and ineffective they can be and how choosing one often means setting yourself up f

This is really pertinent thread for us mothers on the list...it seems an issue about which there are no clear guidelines which makes it really hard for women who are attempting to be in charge of their own labors. They don't even know what sort of time frame they will have in which to relax into
