Subject: [ozmidwifery] Overdue Babies, For those
who encouraged me along the jouney. The babies
who were overdue waited patiently.. while their mothers waited impatiently until Feb arrived
before their arrival. One due the 8th of jan was born the
1st of Feb (24 days over) looking a little overcooked and weighed in
at 3.6kg despite the late scan saying 4.1kg.. the other due the 11th of Jan
arrived on the 2nd of Feb (22 days) looking not a minute overdue
despite mother’s dates and scan dates matching around 16
weeks! Both these
women resisted pressure (and bulling) from the obs involved and from family and
friends to trust themselves and their babies. I am so inspired by them
both. Sally

Midwife "You
are a midwife, assisting at someone else's birth. Do good without show or
fuss. Facilitate what is happening rather than what you think ought to be
happening. If you must take the lead, lead so that the mother is helped, yet
still free and in charge. When the baby is born, the mother will rightly say:
"We did it ourselves!" from
