think it is ESSENTIAL for midwives and consumer groups to be working together on
this one. Amazingly enough, many complaints we hear about are from women
who feel their midwife let them down. Interesting issue (as I am a doula

Farm birth nothing to kid about

MANY four-legged kids have been born at Collingwood
Children's Farm, but never a two-legged one . . . until now.
Brunswick woman Nicole Allard gave birth to Saskia
under a peppercorn tree at the farm on Sunday afternoon.

Jo, you're speaking from my
heart as well. I was at a meeting last year of women working to support others
in birth trauma. All of us had been suicidal at one point, myself included, none
of us had had any support from careproviders.
I'm always happy to share my
journey but it
I'm glad there was someone to
"deliver" her baby. Sigh. Don't women give birth?
Cute otherwise ;

Well, after nine months on maternity leave, my finances (and my
husband!) have told me it is time to do some casual shifts at work.
This morning is my first one. I am just doing a 6 hour shift, and my
husband will bring my 8 month old, Will, to work for me at 10am for a
feed. :) (these a

Hi

You

All the best for your challenging day and the days ahead! As a woman who
enjoyed an empowering birth, YOU know what CAN be achieved. Just little

Janet & JoI can only speak about the places I have worked where the vast majority of midwives are mothers and choose to work part time. If you are with a woman in labour and or attend her LUSCS you may not even get to see her again during her stay. She will see a different midwife/s each shift and
I believe there is some research out there
that looked at de-briefing women after birth, particularly traumatic births.
As I remember it, the research did not show that this debriefing had particularly
helpful outcomes. Of course it is all in the Who, the When and the How. Does anyone

I remember it but I disagree

Hi all,
My cousin told me she recently googled our name
"Boutsalis" and came up with quite a few hits. So out of curiosity I did

No the list has never been private and anyone can get hold of anything that is on any chat list in the world and pass it on to whom ever they please including the persons or organisations that people are talking about whether directly or indirectly and we all need to remember this when we submit t
Talking therapies may be the only "cure", that certainly sounds right to me.
However I can't imagine having been raped, assaulted OR traumatised by my birth
experience and then wanting to do that talking in the place or with the people
where it happened. Perhaps in the last stages of healing, as
