Dear Sue
Contact Childbirth Eduction Association (CEA) about this.
They made a wonderful video about two years ago at KGV Birth Centre.
It is the greatest portrayal of a women gently giving birth in her
own way with her husband wispering in her ear (the cameras are ABOVE
them). The midwife is almost invisible except for her hand with the
Doppler on one occassion. All birth centres should have a copy of
this video and it could also set the standard for planned natural
births in labour ward as well.
Lots of input from other professionals concerned as well.. re
importance of antenatal birth plans and preparation and follow up
with aftercare, lactation, etc.
Phone CEA 02 9580 0399 fax. 02 9580 9986
