Hi Monica,
There is an excellent guide to implementing various types of continuity care
models of midwifery put out by the University of Technology in Sydney,
authored by Caroline Homer,Pat Brodie and Nicky Leap, called Establishing
models of continuity of midwifery care in Australia: A resource
We have a saying here the Union is YOU! Its not Anne Smith some faceless
person, energies and information comes from ourselves.
Here in Queensland QNU has a midwifery Reference group with very
experienced midwives from all areas. Has NSW got that? ACMI and QNU are
talking how we may progress

makes only 40-44 women per year (allowing for reduced bookings for annual

and postnatal care for the woman (therefore no other staff needed for

Hoi colleages in Australia,
We have also a caseload practice with 3 midwifes. It is very satifying
work, but one has to learn to live with the unpredictable work. We have
about 70-80 homebirths a year, but that is just a part of the job. We
also have mothers with a problem pregnancy. If they
Yes. All NICU's should have moved to liquid formula by now. The only
exceptions being the specialised formulas that aren't available in liquid
form.
Actually the advice is for all infants less than a month old. So even
well full term babies who are formula fed should be having a sterile
liquid
Hi Lieve, great to see you on the list again. I appreciate your words of
wisdom. It is interesting how the midwife and her family accept the lack of
predictability. On the weekend my son was moving to another state for a new
job there was a family gathering at our house. I was at a birth

Great work Julie!. MM
Hoi Mary,
I never left the list, but as I said, I had a though year with my
colleages and it took a lot of energy. I love to read all the messages.
About the free time it is indeed what you say: enjoy the minutes, hours

I have been working in a caseload practice for just over a year now and I
am still struggling at times with the unpredicitability of the work. I
couldnt have a more supportive partner, but my 3 young children are starting to
get annoyed and upset when I have to go to
being on call is not as bad as it seems. for 8 women a month the worse
case scenario is to be called in 8 days. Ok maybe a couple of spurious
labours may mean ten times in thirty odd days and the other days you
work when it suits you. Try it for a while and I think you'll be
pleasently

It can be difficult with little kids, but I guess this is
Julie your birth story reminds me of one that Vicki Chan told last year at a conference, I can't remember all the details but it was something like this. a woman ('Alice') rings up and says her membranes have ruptured and she's got mec liqnot the average description.yes,Alice isa
Hello wise women,
Just wondering if anyone has handy anything recent on PROM and
expectant management vs induction of labour? I've been reading my ECPC
(Enkin et al) but don't have the current one at my fingertips, having lent it
out a while ago. Just wondering if it's still a bit ambiguous

Hi Tania, I have just been researching this very question. There is
still disagreement amongst the doctors about how to manage the
situation.There are heaps of research papers, just put the key words
into your medical search engine or go into pubmed.the one thing they do
agree on with
If it
is a hind water leak then let her go. It will proberly seal over. She's better
off at home in her own germs rather than risking the ones in hospital. Keep an
