Re: [ozmidwifery] Traditional birth practices
Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] Traditional birth practices Hi Emily I have been wondering for a while do they have any consumer input at Newc Uni when teaching Obstetrics? I am thinking actually hearing from a woman about her experiences et etc. Not the interaction with current pregnant women. As I remember the Newc Uni course is a bit different (is it still called Community Medicine?) Just thought it would be good for students to understand the enormity of the experience and perhaps to see a video of a birth under a womans own steam! We have some great advocates in Newcastle so it would be possible... Kind regards Justine

Re: [ozmidwifery] Traditional birth practices
Hi, I like the Maningrida site too, anything by Sue Kildea is good. Helen Callaghan (was in Newcastle) addressed some indiginous issues in a paper she wrote for PhD or doctorate or something along those lines. There is a conference in Sydney soon too, focussing on indiginous issues and birth. Its on the board at work, will chase up details tomorrow if I remember.

Re: [ozmidwifery] Traditional birth practices
hope these help Di Aboriginal Birth: Psychosocial or Physiological safety ® Marie Chamberlain, Kate Barclay, Azar Kariminia Alwyn Moyer Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to raise awareness and stimulate discussion and research into maternity care options for Aboriginal women living in remote areas of Australia and Canada. These two countries have similar situations in that some communities are so remote that emergency medical care requires the use of aircraft. In addition, both countries have, since the 1970s, adopted policies for the transfer of mothers in late pregnancy to hospitals in urban centres. For many Aboriginal families this policy has been far from ideal. As a result, some Aboriginal women fail to seek early health care when pregnant. In order to counteract this, it is necessary to offer culturally sensitive maternity care that Aboriginal women will accept. The results of an evaluation of a birthing centre in the Canadian Arctic will be presented along with a range of birthing choices for remote area Aboriginal women and their families. Some of these options have already been initiated by some midwives. This paper challenges health service providers to identify the method of maternity health services required by Aboriginal families and provide creative solutions to meet those needs in a safe and cost effective way. Keywords: Aboriginal, pregnancy, birth, Australia, Canada, transfer, birthing centre. Birth Issues 2001;10(3/4):81-85 ® Reviewed Article Traditional Aboriginal Birthing Practices in Australia:Past and Present ® Helen Callaghan Abstract: The aims of this paper are to improve the readers' knowledge of traditional Aboriginal birthing practices and the beliefs associated with some of these practices. Although few maternity health professionals will have contact with Aboriginal women who desire a traditional approach to birth, this information will assist the health professional in becoming more culturally aware of aspects of birth which may be important to Aboriginal women and their families. This discussion is a brief literature review of traditional birthing practices used by the indigenous peoples of Australia. Due to the complexities of Aboriginal culture, this literature review can only be considered an overview. This work was undertaken as part of a doctoral study on Australian childbirth. The literature is drawn from a variety of sources including Aboriginal people, historians, social scientists, health professionals, and scientists. The review demonstrates the wide variety of traditional birthing practices within Australia, yet emphasises the commonality of many of the rituals, even when compared with the Western medical system: care in childbirth is about keeping the woman and her baby safe. Practices related to pregnancy, labour and delivery, and the postnatal period are described, while the final discussion is related to the mortality and morbidity of the woman and her baby during a traditional Aboriginal birth. Keywords: Aboriginal, women's business, childbirth, traditional practices, bush medicine, borning, Australia. Birth Issues 2001;10(3/4):92-99 ® Reviewed Article Acknowledgements: The author wishes to acknowledge that the repositories of knowledge about traditional Aboriginal birthing practices are the grandmothers, or the older women, of the various Aboriginal communities. It must also be acknowledged that the sub-headings used in the paper reflect a Western cultural approach to childbirth, rather than the holistic approach found in traditional Aboriginal birth. This was a deliberate strategy to make the topic more accessible and meaningful to non- Aboriginal people who are accustomed to these categories. Because the author is neither an Aboriginal person, nor an 'expert' on the health of Aboriginal peoples, or 'women's business', this article has been reviewed for accuracy by Mrs Marilyn Wilson, the Aboriginal Health Coordinator for the Hunter Area Health Service in Newcastle, New South Wales. Mrs Wilson has been extremely generous with her time and I thank her for her assistance, particularly her suggested modifications to improve clarity. - Original Message - From: Mike Lindsay Kennedy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Friday, April 07, 2006 12:32 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Traditional birth practices Anyone have any articles re traditional birth in the Aboriginal culture for an assignment i'm working on? rgds mike -- My photos online @ http://community.webshots.com/user/mike1962nz My Group online @ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PSP_for_Photographers New Photo site@ Mike - http://mikelinz.dotphoto.com Lindsay - Http://likeminz.dotphoto.com Life is a sexually transmitted condition with 100% mortality and birth is as safe as it gets.
