Yes - I suppose what I was trying to say was that it is considered normal
for babies to wee 'in utero', so why shouldn't it be normal to pass meconium.
When Jamie had his problems and I had the polyhydramnios, I was given Indomethacine
to control Jamie's urine output and so reduce the amount
someone to be with her at a time that can be very
bewildering. I am not having a go at the staff at all - it is very
difficult for them to provide this 'extra' support - which is why we
were called upon often by the staff at the JR in the UK.
I hope everything goes well for her.

But don't you think that - as in many things - if we don't understand
something then it can fill us with horrors? Many women see childbirth
depicted so horribly and with nothing to compare it with - see those
depictions as the reality. It is not until we experience it - either

Luckily the new Curriculum Framework in WA is extremely flexible in
