Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] Epidural top-up Policy

Gee, why should midwives have ANYTHING to do with epidurals??

I thought midwifery was about well women and normal childbirth.

Shouldn’t this be left to the Drs! Perhaps if midwives said this we would see a change in practice!

Can women in Parkes access deep warm water for pain relief?

I am astounded that the majority of women can access Pethidine and an epidural and yet a tiny majority have access to deep water
(sorry showers don’t count!)

Natural pain relief, that’s the domian of midwifery
