Hi Jo Hope your day goes well,youre an absolutely brilliant midwife and have led -by-example with Will and your family choices.We all know how we feel going back to work after our holidays let alone THE most important work-break,but you will suprize yourself that sometimes policies paperwork may change ,but your contribution to some families day is an invaluable as ever.

Take Care , Ange Aww thanks Ange :) You're a sweety! My first day back was fine - apart from the splitting headache I had all day from being a bit tense and not getting much sleep. It was a gentle ease back into it. Just have to get used to all the new doctors, but there doesn't seem to be much new paperwork. I have to say, though, that two of the four women I looked after had had a c/s! Hope to catch up with you soon. Love, Jo -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.

RE: [ozmidwifery] Wish me luck...
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 things that make a big difference...closed door, dim lights, no V.E a woman unless it is absolutely necessary (she may have suffered sexual abuse)treat her very gently whether you know or not, it's policy isn't enough reason to do things, quiet voices, not talking about extraneous things (like the cricket, your big night out etc) asking permission for things you need to do, people not entering the room uninvited. Your breastfeeding experience will help you be empathetic to women in similar situations. DO be nervous... it will help you be more sensitive.
