Hi Catherine, Most naturopaths/herbalists can make it up for you. Ensure they do work with womens health/birth preparation and they will probably be familair with it. You will probably have to have a consultatoin before they prescribe. Email me off list if you dont have much luck with this option.

Re: [ozmidwifery] getting synto etc

At my last homebirth (7 years ago), my midwife asked me to ask for a prescription from doc when I went for a blood test referral. I did and they wrote the script with not a question asked. I got it filled at the chemist and I just had to wait a day for them to order it in because they didn't

Drs refuse to write the script on the excuse that they will not be there when it is given and they can't take responsibility for the use of the drug. I know this sounds like a stupid reason, but their insurer's say they cannot prescribe it if they are not procedural obstetric GPs. MM I would

Hello Jennifairy, I had one very, very jaundiced baby in my home practice in 8 years. I sent them to the pediatrician, but he ignored the child because it was born at home. So I observed the baby and it drank well, did everything a baby is supposed to do and regained birthweight after 4 days.
