hi all
I have just got off the phone from a large nursing agency to
be told that as a Bach mid grad they would not employ me as once again the
hospitals concerned would not have us working in their wards. I was then told
that I should have kept my enrolled nurse status and not registered as

hospital ( as well as a large hospital for women here in sa. We are
also not allowed to relieve for meal breaks ect or allowed to work in any
other areas except for mid/ neonatal as the registration does not allow this.
There is a bridging
I was wondering is there anything to suggest
that epidurals administered during labour have long term effects on women. such
as backpain later in life I would be interested to find this out through
studies ect I have looked on the Cochrane data base but cant find anything to do
with this.
the reason im so interested is that 20 years ago I had one during my sons
birth. I now suffer from backpain when I get overtired especially in the
area where I had the epidural. my sister also has the same problem after her
epidural which she had 4 years ago.this pain is deep muscle pain which

any information that you can use. They have a website or try the
phonebook.

Kirsten as a newly qualified midwife who has supported women during birth
when a student I wish you luck. You need to be very strong for both the
woman and her partner in what she wants to get out of her birth. I suggest
that when you are with the woman and her partner during the birth you act
enjoy your status as a student kirsten good luck

hi and thanks for the message of support as a graduating bach mid student i
have been supported well by the majority of midwives which i have been
working with in the health care system but now is the telling time i am not
an RN but an EN and the ammount of students who are finishing the course
what a shame women deciding even before they have come into
labour wanting epidurals. These women must be unsure of what thier own bodies
can do. Not to mention the fact that they have no faith in the support persons
such as the midwife. there is a lot for the case of continuity of care and
