There are two books, probably in UTS library, where you may get some references.
Mothering the Mother - how a Doula can help you have a shorter, easier and healthier birth Klause, Kennell and Klaus Addison Wesley
Pain, Distress and the Newborn Baby Margaret Sparshott, Blackwell Science
If you can get hold of the old Grantly Dick Reed books on Fear and Pain in Childbirth - Knowledge is power type of approach - they are great resources.
There was a short article by Denis Walsh - Psychological barriers to labour on page 430 of the British Journal of Midwifery July 2004 Vol 12, no 7 with a related birth incident that sounded similar to that which you observed.
Good luck with your searching and have a happy Easter

Hi everyone,
I've been reading everyones posts with great interest over the last few weeks and I have to say that everyone has such a great amount of knowledge combined it's fantastic and inspirational!
I'll take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Holly I'm a first year bmid student at uts in nsw. This is the first year nsw has run the course and I am one of only 29! We all feel very honoured to have been chosen to do this course but overwhelmed and a bit scared!! I have four children who keep me very busy, but a fantastic husband and a very flexible nanny who have been my lifeline in the first four weeks (only 3 years to go! yipee!!)
So my question is : I'm doing a critical reflection on an incident i observed in delivery 2 wks ago. I'm after articles etc that are about fear of pain in labour which can lead to ineffective pushing. Also relevant would be articles on how the pain of labour/childbirth can lead to delayed bonding between mother and baby.
Pardon me if I use incorrect language in my descriptions (i'm struggling with the politically correct stuff).
I'm also interested in knowing if Royal Hospital in Brisbane will look at employing bmids in 3 yrs time? I think someone on here is from that hospital?
Thanks for you time and help in advance.
ps - I have searched [EMAIL PROTECTED] with limited success
