I remember a lecture at uni also saying that up to 75% of newborns have tiny,
seemingly harmless, haemorrage near the brain or in between any of the
membranes. It did make me wonder if there were any implications for the Vit K
debate.

I don't have a contact for you Raelene, but I congratulate you again on your
progressiveness, and once again not allowing size or remoteness be an
excuse for developing Women and Baby centred policies.
For those who don't already know - Kalgoorlie is a great place for midwives
to do a stint
Congratulations Sue and all the other new graduates, well done! I know its a
big ask to become so called legitimised when you have already been a midwife
for so long, its also great to have someone with your experience within the
system too. You have so much wisdom to share.

Some women have complained to me that the witch hazel tincture burns so much
they cant bear it...have you heard of that prob?
There is also that thick Witch hazel barrier cream.
Also warm compress in labour is supportive.

the subject of their postings and being more specific.

I have seen midwives more using their fingers to
support a high posterior head to create like a false pelvic floor for the
baby to rotate on - to positive effect. not rotating the head but providing a
