Hi,
I find the whole idea of a procedure being compulsory as absolutely
ludicrous!! You can't make a medical
The use of involuntary hospitalization or any other form of forced treatment
is perhaps the most controversial issue in the wider mental health community,
pitting family members, citizen advocacy groups, professionals and consumers
against one another on the subject. In addition, legal
Therein lies the problem with management of birth...all women, babies
and births are not the same, so if everyone caring for the woman and
baby does the same thing, how can this possibly be considered
appropriate evidence based care?
That is such and excellent and valid point.

I agree with you, the proceedure should not be compulsory and I will take
this up with colleagues, women should be given the right to choose if they
want this, and I suppose the best way to go is what Emily has suggested and
explain to the mother and write it in their notes if they choose
Hi,
I was asked by a woman if she can wear a babysling
two weeks after her c-section. She was told not to carry anything hevier, than
the child for six weeks and has asked me since we sold the hug-a-bub baby sling
for her earlier. Before I answer her, I thought I'd ask you midwives first.
I would say that would be the best way to carry the baby, as the load will be closest to her body, therefore the lightest.HTHJoOn 17/06/2006, at 4:27 AM, Päivi Laukkanen wrote:Hi, I was asked by a woman if she can wear a babysling two weeks after her c-section. She was told not to carry anything
A friend of mine gave birth in a popular private Sydney hospital a few weeks
ago, was induced (her choice, against OBs preference, amazingly he doesn't like
to induce before 41w) - 2 doses of gel, ARM, synto. The only EFM was one trace
at the start of the process. The midiwife caring for her
Yes EFMs are shown to cause c-secs and not protect even vulnerable babies

based on an entirely false premise but that's what RANZCOG promotes - see
hi all i have just finished the 'obstetrics' term of my course and over the 9 weeks i repetitively brought up my disgust with the use of CTGs against all the very high quality evidence that is out there against them, that noone refutes they just ignore. the wonderful obstetrician who was my

So there are hospitals around where it is possible.
I think in most cases it's that there are individual staff, nothing to do
with the institutions. Some women have great births in some hospitals and
for others the same place is a bloodbath. It's the staff you fluke on the

manage those "choices" in ways which are not harmful to women. Since induction

It's true, there is a lot of pot luck involved for consumers, it is certainly
what scares me about hospitals. But in this case I am pretty sure that the only
policy was for an initial trace because the midwife was fairly clearly out of
her comfort zone and didn't pull out the it's policy
That birthing experiences vary so drastically as a result of individual
staff is reason to advocate for returning the power and control of birth to
birthing women. This, not policy, will help ensure that all women and babies
have the best chance for a truly great birth.
But it's institutions as

Hi Sally,
I'm sorry if you feel offended or upset by any discussion on this forum, I'm
sure no-one intentionally does that because part of the joy of it is we are

Thank god there are midwives like you working your butts off to help women
get the best
