Sonia, you are very welcome to tell your story... I am not a health professional either but they put up with me : ). Anyway, a fellow birther and friend of mine has started up a national Birth Trauma Support Group which is linked to the NZ group TABS A(Trauma and Birth Stress) so please contact me off list if you would like to chat further about what happened to you. You are not alone.
Cheers, Cas. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of *G and S* Sent: Sunday, 12 October 2003 7:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ozmidwifery] new here/okay? Greetings. May I introduce myself firstly by telling you up front that I am not a midwife, doula or obstetric professional. I was however a registered nurse, have had five babes and have plenty of questions and thoughts regarding birth. A friend of mine who lectures in midwifery suggested this list as a good place to be. I had a hideous birth experience in January (the chance of it happening again is supposed to be greater then 1 in 1,000,000) and though I do not wish to sue my ob, I still need some answers that he can't / won't give me. But before I launch into my story I thought I should check it out with you guys first to see if you are happy to have me around. I will understand if you think that this is an inappropriate place for me to be. TIA, Sonia. PS. I am an Australian and I was a member of the Ican list. I left it because I really needed local 'talk'. KWIM? -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
