Hi, Thanks for your welcome. I am a member of the BMid Student collective, but I have not posted on there yet.
Thanks for your help Justine. As a group us students at uts have been extremely fortunate to have Nicky Leap as a guest lecturer and we have covered quite a bit about pain in labour which has been fantastic. To give you a bit more information the woman I was able to attend was scared of the pain of birth and stopped pushing, or tried to withhold her pushing (if that makes sense). I'm linking her fearful birth experience with her inability to bond with her baby at birth - I assumed there would be an article about that out there somewhere :) I obtained quite a bit of information from the maternity coalition website which helped me in my application to uts. It's a great site. It's on my long list of places to join!
