Re: [ozmidwifery] Melb Ob's Supportive of Lotus Birth

[Sue Cookson]

I'd have to add that if she is looking for 'permission' to have a lotus birth, she needs to work harder to understand it is her right to make choice irrespective of whether that choice is understood or supported by others. If she firmly stands in her place with her decision to have a lotus birth, then those who are invited to her birth will oblige. I have assisted women with lotus birth at home and in a variety of hospital settings, including c/sections - she may have to stay very firm about it - just like not cutting the cord early for other people. All sorts of excuses may be made - what she says and how she says it will determine the outcome. The more people access their rights, the more familiar everyone will be with the different choices people can make. Sue you could contact the college of spiritual midwifery and ask if they can refer someone?   cheers Jo   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Kelly @ BellyBelly Sent: Monday, November 14, 2005 2:41 PM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: [ozmidwifery] Melb Ob's Supportive of Lotus Birth A girl in my forums has asked of any Melbourne Ob’s / GP’s etc that are supportive of Lotus Birth for her birth – anyone? I’ve suggested Lionel Steinberg as a possible and also Peter Lucas – but other than that I have no idea where to start.
