Hi Jenni and Jan,
Congrats on your launch into independent midwifery
Jenni and thanks for this info Jan.
I look forward to rejoining the Australian Society
of Independent Midwives again soon.
Jenni if you havent found the doppler you want
before the ICM - I would be happy to be No 2 of an independent midwife group
buying lot. Hopefully there will be 50 of us !!!!
Feel free to email me off the list....
Kind Regards,
Sally-Anne Brown

Hi Jenni
Welcome to the world of independent midwifery.
You can usually pick up good deals on most of the items you have mentioned if
you attend the Trade and Education exhibitors at the State, National and
International ACMI Conferences. If you are going to Brisbane to the ICM in
July you will get some great prices there, especially if you utilise the
buying power of a group of like-minded individuals. Often the prices on
Dopplers are reduced for Conference buyers and a further discount is provided
if two or three of you buy together.
Another tack is to start attending
meetings of the local IPMs and ask them who they buy from - someone may even
have some second-hand home birth equipment for sale.
Yours in
independent midwifery Jan Jan

Hi all, just a short (hopefully!) intro. Ive been away from the
list for the last 2 or 3 years whilst doing my BMid here in SA - study
tended to take over my life & keeping up with the volume of mail from
here was just too much! Anyways, Im finished/registered/the 'real deal'
now, a RM of the first cohort of 'direct entry' midwives in Australia, now
apprenticing with a MIPP on my way to fulfilling 'the dream'.... and
*really* enjoying my life now that Im not under the study thumb! Im madly
trying to get my 'kit' together, & in the market for a waterproof
doppler. What Im asking for from you gals (& maybe guys) is what you
use/would recommend brand-wise. Ive only ever used Huntleighs in the
hospitals Ive done placements at, but there are some others out there &
wondering if anybody can 'give me the goss' - the Huntleighs are currently
around $900+ so I need to know Im making the right decision! I havent
started earning 'real money' yet so this is a big buy for me. Ive managed to
find forcep clamps & a fabulous digital fishing scale for baby weighing
on EBay (yeah, Ive become an EBay groupie now that I have the time....), but
if anyone has ideas/contacts etc for other stuff Id be really happy to hear
from you (for eg, where do I get wooden pinards?). I need
everything! cheers & thanx in
advance Jennifairy RM!! -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE
