Oopps…..sorry, I see it will be this
Sunday.  I’ve just switched from Outlook Express to Outlook to read
emails and I’m not used to the set up.  Didn’t see the subject line

Anyway, looking forward to the show J

Re: [ozmidwifery] Orthodontist

2004-05-27 Thread Lois J Wattis 



Hi Sheena, when I worked in the hospital system I 
frequently saw obstetricians and midwives rush to clamp and cut a nuchal 
cord before the birth of the baby's shoulders, and the consequent rush to 
resuscitate the baby with equally panic-stricken parents watching on.  
The usual explanation was that the cord needed to be cut to allow the baby to 
be born safely.   If there had been any dystocia the baby 
would be in even deeper trouble with a severed umbilical cord.  In reality 
of course, leaving it alone would have reduced or eliminated the need for 
resuscitation as it continued it's job as lifeline during the baby's 
transition to extra-uterine life. 
 
Now I don't routinely feel for nuchal cord (women 
usually find this painful too), and simply unravel the baby if the cord is 
entwined.  Most births I attend are water births, and the nuchal cord tends 
to loosen in water as the baby is born anyway. 
 
I have experienced one occult cord during a water 
birth.  I had my hands lightly on the baby's head as it was born, and 
felt the cord on the underside, which I would not have known about if I had not 
had my hands on.  It was NOT pulsating.  Rather than wait for the next 
contraction I urged the woman to push her baby out right away, which she did, 
and the cord re-established pulsations.  The baby's apgars were 3 and 
7, but he recovered well and paed review confirmed he was fine.  I am 
convinced his 'lifeline' saved him, assisted by our resuscitation efforts 
immediately after the birth with cord intact.  
 
Trust your instincts as you venture into your 
first year as a midwife.  You will see many practises you know 
are not evidence based.  Build your own knowledge and experience 
base, and be brave in challenging practises that are out of 
date.  Best wishes, Lois

  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
