Hi All
Just to let you all know 60 Minutes is doing a segment on the rise in caesarean
section rates and particularly the increase of post c/s hysterectomy.
I was asked to appear in my capacity as MC Pres and as a Mum choosing a very
different birth option.
I was careful as to what I said. The Q’s were all in response to
C/S and none about my experience sadly, they wanted me to ‘blame
women’ of which I did not, but tried to focus on the poor support and
general societal issues etc.
What is most significant is they have included footage from my latest birth
(courtesy of Nic Edmonstone’s wonderful work). I believe
there’ll be 50 seconds of the birth and I hope the pictures literally
speak 1000 words! There is also to be footage of a C/S.
I ask that everyone e-mail 60 minutes with short succinct letters, particularly
highlighting how our broken maternity system could be fixed. If there is
a good response they should feature 2 letters (usually only 1 per segment) .I
will remind everyone after the show!
I have worked very hard to get the best out of this story (5 hours assisting
them with their research!!) but they are interviewing Molloy! Who knows
he might be so outrageous he will shoot himself in the foot.
Any way hope you can tune in
Justine
