Re: ACMI PRESS RELEASE REGARDING PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY INSURANCE

Yes, yes, yes! We need to be in everyone's faces ALL the time! Elitisim 
separatism at this point in time is just cutting off our noses to spite our
faces. The personal is political.

 Thankyou Alana and the very hardworking executive. I know what is going
 on behind the scenes, and can appreciate the effort that has won even
 such a minor concession. Andrea  Q makes a good point. Run for office
 next time ANF has elections, Andrea. All you midwife members of ANF
 support her. Become members of both organisations by all means. And
 midwives who have more inclinations to policy and regulation, run for
 positions on NBVic. Only when we are cropping up in positions of power
 EVERYWHERE will we have real change. One focus is not enough, though the
 College is making a real difference on so many fronts. Perhaps those of
 us who cannot for whatever reason afford the time to get and hold such
 positions, but who have experience and expertise, could form an advisory
 or mentorship group, perhaps assist with research and argument, extend
 and create networks. I would be willing to act in this capacity. Are
 there others? Trish

stress

2001-09-07 Thread Janet Ireland



I heard that the book launch was a fabulous night I 
was at a birth but it wasn't the same 

The room is warm the fire crackling the woman wide 
eyed and almost luminous in the half light .Her man is supporting her as she 
births her baby. She cries out in her native tongue and the midwife kneels at 
her feet; the baby is born the placenta arrives the family rest and eat 

This IS A MIRICLE WITTNESSED BY THE MIDWIVES MANY 
TIMES BUT SOMETHING IS CLOUDING THE JOY.

the midwives embrace and say I am so glad every 
thing went well.
is this fear or stress whatever it takes away from 
at least my practise.
Thankyou to all persons working for women' chioces 
in childbirth .jan ireland
