On a very personal note - I used the soundtrack from the movie The Piano
for my first vbac homebirth baby and I found it really good music for
labouring- kind of repetitive and hypnotic, but in a good way. The next
labour I also used one of those relaxation cd's that was sea themed ie lots

Congratulations to you, Sue and the others that made it possible for this
woman to have her wishes met. It must be a source of great satisfaction to
her that despite a Caesar she still was able to do the Lotus birth for her
baby.

Hi Julie an interesting concept
and I have actually had this discussion before- Was it with you? I think
as a student midwife that vaginal exams were one of the most difficult clinical
skills to learn, because initially everything felt the same soft and
squishy and it took a bit of
Megan are you a midwife? Did
you have some knowledge already or was that the first time you had felt a
cervix in labour?

any benefit to teaching women self examination?
Hi Julie an interest
I saw a naturopath regularly during my
last pregnancy and took supplements including minerals, I was also over 40. I
found that postnatally I had no problem with afterpains or any of the other usual
postnatal things I feel pretty confident that it was due to her
nutritional support during

I have had 2 babes with a physiological 3rd
stage, the other was a Caesar so I dont think that really counts.
The first one took quite a long time maybe an hour? But was no problem
and although I had some contractions they werent too bad. I
certainly was more interested in
Has anyone any information they can share
regarding the management of newborns of insulin dependent diabetics? In
particular I am looking for information regarding prenatal expressing of colostrum
in order to feed it to the babe in place of formula. If anyone knows of any
hospital that is
Diane perhaps pointing out that
the ongoing health of the mother and baby are very much related to whether the
mother has had a fulfilling experience in childbirth unhappy mothers do
not make for well mothers or well babies (ie PND, breastfeeding failure,
relationship difficulties etc).
Maybe I am being daft but what effect do lactational hormones have on
surgery? I would also suggest another opinion or 2 - perhaps to a plastic

Gosh - you bought back memories of sleeping with my first child Jo. The
feet pinching skin whilst burrowing under your back with the sharp toenail
torture!!! Also the constant wanting to lie on top of you rather than next
to - ie throwing the leg over incessantly. She still sleeps like this
I'm not sure if the books that Pinky recommended are the same but I also
bought some lovely relaxation CD's with guided meditation for children from
an online based baby shop in Byron. They had several types to choose from,
some were specific for children in pain etc. Email me off list if you
Hi - I would agree with Barb - the no cry sleep solution for toddlers has
some great ideas and suggestions and is very gentle and loving in its
approach. I am sure you would find some helpful information.

Hi - I had some herbal treatments
fordepression (I caught it quickly - within afew weeks of
onset)about 6 months after my baby was born - don't know if you would
classify it as post natal tho. My naturopath put me on a couple of herbals
(can't exactly remember what tho) and some minerals
Ha ha - I remember doing the same in my
mid training tho we didn't have to do shaves. "I could give you an enema if you
would like one!"I would offer. Never had any takers The

My heart goes out to you as it must be a
painful and disappointing position to be in with your colleagues. I
presume you have presented them with the evidence of the risks of infection and
the appropriate measures to take. Do you have an ethics policy that you

Sue I have experienced an uss missing
twins on two occasions. I had an awful working relationship in an isolated
aboriginal community setting with a doctor who thought it was appropriate to
ultrasound pregnant women rather than actually palpating their abdomens at
all. All these women had

I vaguely remember reading something that
I found meaningful in Julia Sundin's Face to Face with Childbirth. Hope I
