I allowed a Dad to be brought in to the room just at the moment of the baby being born by elective caesarean under general anaesthetic, only to have the baby arrest and need CPR. I managed to shield the Dad so

Hi, We sometimes have expressed milk mum has obtained pre/cs just in case babe cannot get to the breast in recovery. It helps mum to know that at least dad or midwife can give baby some colostrum until they can get to the breast. It is good for recovery room staff to know this is happening,

Hi Jenny, Is it that intervention is more common in the management of these women, particularly if ART has resulted in a multiple pregnancy? Intervention can interfere with the initiation of lactation for a number of reasons, as you would be aware. Nicole. -Original Message-From:

Another observation about women who have had ART, they are often anxious. It is difficult for an anxious woman to sit and finish a breast feed properly, or even sometimes recognise feeding cues. I wouldn't completely discount a hormonal link, although the hormones play a larger part in earl

Hi Barbara, Do your parents have any say in the cord clamping? Perhaps they need more information such as at their education sessions? We also do active management, but Dad's are still able to cut the cord. Not many of our Mum's do physiological third stage. However, we had a lotus birth re

Where I work no-one is swabbed. If a woman is in labour for twelve hours she is commenced on IV antis without knowing her GBS status. There are no other interventions, unless labour is premature, when a HVS will be taken. It's interesting the variety of practises out there! I would prefer to
