Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] preparing and supporting child sexual abuse survivors for chilbdrith

Whilst doing booking histories this week I have been with 2 young survivors of abuse and their anxiety, fear  about who they and what they would have to deal with during their pregnancy and birth was evident. They like all of us need 1on 1 care from a known empathetic midwife!!

ASCA has a website www. asca.org.au ASCA could be a good resource for health professionals dealing with survivors of abuse. Justine xx Sorry Pinky what’s CASA ?

I have had a small number of sexual abuse survivors throughout the years confide in me and ask for my support throughout their childbirth experience. I have responded sensitively to them and tried to follow my intuition when helping them, but wished I had more insights. Can you help me?? With regard to fear of the pain … And any other aspects of the issue you can highlight for me? hug Julie Clarke Childbirth and Parenting Educator Transition into Parenthood 9 Withybrook Pl Sylvania  NSW  2224 T.
