Thanks to whoever sent the transcript.
I have since inundated the ABC dimensions with
my comments and request for help to get the message across.
aaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!!
Its just too much to bear
sometimes.
Just yesterday, a fellow student and I were
chatting after doing some work. She has a 15 yr
old.
Horrible, violent birth (the usual) After
about 18 months, she returned to the hospital to discuss what had happened
to her. That helped her a bit but she still
grieves. No more children followed.
In actual fact, I make it a point to know birth
stories from every woman I know - (I should collect them for a book or
something)
Oh and here's another. Discussing
NMAP, violent birth vs humanized birth etc. as usual with all and
sundry....
one woman at work was listening so intently and
I thought, "hello, there's something here".
On asking, it turned out that her third child,
at full dilatation had cord prolapse. Big emergency, she said.
Upside down and then hauled out with forceps.
She was advised my a very wise woman, to
provide excess sensory stimulation to enable/create neurophysiological
recovery caused by damage due to forceps.
Very thankful she did that, because as a
toddler it helped him develop normally.
He's 18 now, but has a very 'dark' side.
ie suicidal thoughts.
