Re: [ozmidwifery] Cord Blood Storage
Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] Cord Blood Storage Perhaps a dumb consumer question but if this stuff is so valuable then why not give it to the babe at birth (could this then prevent imuno disorders later?) Then again physiological third stage is so rare in the system. I don’t understand why women don’t make the link! and let’s face it the cord can drain out stop pulsating and then wait for the placenta and if needed (for blood loss or an extended delay) synto can be given. I know Michel Odent and Fredrick Leboyer are very hot on no interruption of the hormone cocktail that follows birth (makes sense to me). Justine HB Mum to 3 with all the good blood in them not the cord bank! I have a client living in North-west Victoria who is keen to keep and store her baby's cord blood for use at a later date if required. Has anyone had any experience of this and can you give me a contact? Thanks Anne IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here

Re: [ozmidwifery] [Ozmidwifery] Asthma & Antibiotics
. 20030131-2 The importance of prenatal exposures on the development of allergic disease: a birth cohort study using the West Midlands General Practice Database - American Journal of Respiratory Care Medicine , vol 166, no 6, September 2002, pp 827-832 McKeever TM; Lewis SA; Smith C; et al - (2002) The etiology of allergic disease is not understood, but a decreased exposure to infection may play an important role. There are few published data on the impact of change in microbial exposure during pregnancy on the child's risk of developing allergic disease. Using a birth cohort of 24,690 children, derived from the West Midlands General Practice Research Database, we investigated a number of perinatal exposures on the incidence of asthma, eczema, and hay fever. Our findings suggest that exposure to antibiotics in utero is associated with an increased risk of asthma in a dose-related manner (more than two courses of antibiotics compared with none adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.68; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.51-1.87), and similar associations are present for eczema (adjusted HR 1.17; 95% CI, 1.06-1.29) and hay fever (adjusted HR 1.56; 95% CI, 1.22-2.01). Exposure to a range of infections in utero was also associated with a small increased risk of developing allergic disease. Strong protective effects of older siblings on the incidence of allergy are present within this cohort, but previous pregnancies that did not result in a live birth were not protective. Our findings suggest that exposure to antibiotics and to infections in utero is a potentially important risk factor in the development of allergic disease. (Author) Hi Larraine, Is this the one? I found it on the MIDIRS site. Cheers, Sadie
