As our base numbers of caesareans are getting larger, there
will be more in the future.
If only we could reduce significantly the number of
inductions, then maybe we could reduce
the number of caesareans??
Where is the evidence for inductions at 40 weeks please?
Thanks from Barbara,
or
fax: 68621193.
We are hoping for a large area attendance, anyone interested
may attend.
RSVP this week please.
Thankyou,
Barbara Stokes Parkes

Our local council donates 2 Australian native trees that we hand out to
each new mum and our Birth to Kindergarten literacy programme donates
a book with advice to mums/dads/family to read to the new baby every day

Excitement in Parkes, NSW where midwife
Lee Ramsay was awarded OAM for midwifery and ante-natal services to community. Lee, now 70 has been continuously employed by the
local hospital, many years as NUM and still .8 shifts per fortnight.
About time some of our midwives are recognised!
Dear Midwives and friends,
We are being made aware of safe sleeping / co-bedding with
babies. Is there any data or information
about the safety of baby in another room with baby monitor?
Am I just getting past it?
I feel very sad that babies sleep down the hall and parents think all is
Dear Mary,
If there are no high risk
indications at time, we would monitor baby carefully ie
regular temperatures and observation rather than straight into IM antibiotics.

Dear Midwives,
I have just returned from our small hospital midwives
and doctors breakfast meeting. This is to encourage communication. We have 4 GP/Obs
and 9 midwivies.
On discussion was a new policy for epidural-top ups: both
pethidine only and marcain/fenytal .
Policy is now
to just hold her
new baby! I felt incredibly sad for
this baby and family but the next day all (at least on the surface!) seemed ok. I think the baby was being bottle fed, though
this was decided before the birth.

Dear Midwives,
Could anyone help me with contact information for VBAC
Support Groups in NSW?
I did hear of a Central Coast group at a
mid-conference a couple of years ago.
Our unit, small rural hospital is organising a leaflet to
give to mothers when booking in.
Thankyou,
Barbara
groups in rural places but maybe
what your clients really need is the CARES Birth After Caesarean book?
I'm sure Jo would share it with you! In the meantime I'll send
you some group info.
Best,

I thought a reason for jaundice with Syntocinon inductions
was the result of inducing baby before really due.

Dear Wendy and all,
Naturally conceived and vaginal birth of
triplets happened at Parkes (home of The Dish) 23 years ago,
before ultrasound was available locally.
We were confident of twins, all babies did
well. These days we are not allowed to
birth twins!

Dear Jan and all,
Seems to me since our GPs have attended ALSO in the
last couple of years, they jump in, take over birthing and treat all births as
shoulder dystocia! Ending up with horrible dragging out of babies. I probably have over reacted, but 2
recent births I attended ended up
Dear Alison,
I am a midwife in small public hospital. It is important to maintain privacy to
mothers in labour, quietness and I like to have soft lights. Reduce the support teams
chatter to minimal. This is sometimes
difficult when you get both mother/mother-in law present, plus sisters
Harold and Aunt Beth Richards were from your area.
Regards,
Barbara Stokes

It would be great not to need cannulation skills, but in a
small rural hospital we deal with general patients, doctor not on site. Trauma, acute chest pains etc all need
cannulas to commence life saving treatment.
Is no-one doing IV antibiotics for group B strep positive
mothers in
It is rare that at Parkes we use epidurals during labour,
but I am supportive of mothers having epidural for elective caesareans. This is where we use epidural top-ups,
in the first 24 hours or less. Therefore
we need policies to cover as our midwifery care includes adequate pain relief
Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] Epidural top-up Policy
Justine, just a note to say I was looking
for policies about epidural top-ups. This does not mean I as a midwife use
them unless of extreme need. We do
use deep water though mothers at home dont have access due to water
shortage.

babe come from theatre last week

This copy has been taken from our unit.
Looking forward to your reply.
