[ozmidwifery] Quote of the week

"The deadening of the sensory awareness of the body that occurs with the 
administration of regional anesthesia for birth not only threatens the memory of 
how to birth, but the part of the heart's energy that tells us we have the 
capacity to give birth."Judy Luce. midwifery Today eNews.

[ozmidwifery] Orthodontist

[Sheena Johnson]

Hi

this is not mid related, but I am stuck, and was 
wondering if any of the midwives in Adelaide could recommend an orthodontist for 
my daughter? I am having trouble finding one that comes recommended, don't 
really know enough people over there. Could you email me off list? Actually, I 
do have a midwifery question. Since I am starting my grad year and am beginning 
to assist at births unsupervised, I was wondering how many people on the list 
routinely remove the cord from around the babies neck if it is there, and how 
many don't.Do you even check? What is the frequency of cutting before the 
shoulders are born?

I feel that if there is no obvious obstruction of 
labour and there are signs of progress, ie restitution, the shoulders follow the 
head etc.then we should probably not bother about removing the cord, what 
do others think?


Thanks, Sheena Johnson

As do I. If it isn't broken, don't fix it.

I can absolutely recommend Helen McClean. My teeth were shocking and the school 
dentist said I would need braces years in advance. My first orthodontist used to have 
waiting times of up to a 2 hrs He was also rude and explained his treatement as 4 
teeth out and then braces for 1.5 years. My mum got jack of the waiting and rudeness 
and changed to Helen just before I was due to start treatment. She was AMAZING. 
Explained everything, generally directly to me while mum listened in, rarely more than 
a 5 minute wait, radically different treatment plan too.

She told us upfront that my teeth would, to some point, return to their orginal state 
and that her goal was to get all my molars meeting and everything straight, than 
anything else was a bonus. 10 years after ending treatment this is exactly how they 
were. I went to see a fancy international lecturing orthodontic surgeon in sydney as I 
was considering trying to fix the front again. He asked who had done my original 
treatment and what they did. He said I had the absolute best of modern treatment and 
then proceed to go on and on about how amazing Helen McLean was. I was frankly amazed 
that the high flying sydney (male) orthodontist knew of and was impressed by my 
Adelaide (female) orthodontist. does that say more about me or him? He said he 
didn't want to treat me (only option jaw surgery that would also be back how it was in 
5 yrs) but to go back to Helen next I was in Adelaide and ask her. I went to see her 
and she a) remembered my case in detail and b) did the most thor!
 ough exam I have ever had c) said this is exactly what I hoped for d) explained all 
the reasons in detail for not doing various treatments had been sugestted to me and I 
left feeling great.

cheers
Jo
