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!
Thanks again everyone, Holly

Welcome to the world of midwifery!
I hope as a new B Midder you will or have joined Maternity Coalition.
The work of volunteer consumers in the last 5 years has been huge.
In fact it was a last minute intervention by Maternity Coalition that
assisted in achieving insurance for the UTS B Mid course!
Check out our website

Without details of the incident it is hard to help.
Why not look at the literature re a constant companion in labour and the
reduction in pharmacological pain relief ie push the point that without the
trust and relationship women are set up to fail.
It still astounds me that 99% of Australian women share their most intimate
act with strangers!! And midwives are forced to care for women they have
often never met!
Hodnett (Cochrane Collaboration) did a review of constant companions in
labour and birth
The National Maternity Action Plan (NMAP) on the Maternity Coalition website
will offer some sources re reduction of pain relief from one to one
midwifery.
Nicky Leap has looked at pain in labour (paper should be found on
www.birthinternational.com
Will forward other stuff if I find it.
Happy studies
Justine
