Re: [ozmidwifery] I need to clarify myself!! Coles Baby

[lisa chalmers]

Makes sense though, the fact that all 3 of us interviewd wanted a home birth with NO doctors.......perhaps its not the message they were quite willing to convey.

Coles Baby Ahhhh I thought it was a bit weird how they worded it they added to my comments ‘ . and a doctor if needed ’ - why on earth would I say that! It’s a lot to have made a mistake over so I have no doubt you are right. Very frustrating when you are trying to get across a positive, confident image of birth.

Coles Baby   Hi Kelly, If I have answered this already please ignore. I was the editor of Coles Baby magazine for 4 years, from its beginning. I would not blame the journalist's hearing. It is far more likely that the copy was edited to doctor from doula as the magazine content is closely monitored by the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne and very much toes the orthodox line - the idea of a doula and no doctor being present is unlikely to be acceptable.

Coles Baby   In the Coles Baby mag this edition I was interviewed along with Lisa Chalmers from Australian Doulas. I do not have my copy yet but I have been told I said I would be having a home waterbirth next time in the company of a doctor!!! I actually told the journo a private midwife and DOULA – one can only assume she thought I said doctor instead of Doula – kinda sounds the same. Always the way with words in print .
