RE: [ozmidwifery] students
Andrew Bisits was one of the speakers at the breech conference. He really seemed like someone who could keep normal in the arena. Just talking to him and hearing how he manages breeches all fours/kneeling active labour and that he is so involved with training. He seems to have very dynamic teaching ideas good for him if he is getting med students good exposure. Jane
[ozmidwifery] Caesarean demand in VIC
I heard from a very reputable source (from her well regarded Obstetrician) who said that there are currently no availabilities to get women in for caesareans at the moment. Her Ob has been ringing around absolutely everywhere to get her booked in as she lost her last baby and has lots of issues surrounding this and to make the matter worse, the baby is breech, so the woman is a mess about losing this baby too. The only way she can have her caesarean is by emergency caesarean. Of course, being Easter, this is only worse lots more being booked in at this time. Apparently, the lack of availability is due to lots of Obs booking in women for low-lying placentas at 18 WEEKS Hogging lots of spaces which are not needed. Cant something be done about this? I am not recommending caesars for anyone but this situation is awful what is going on??? I cannot believe the only way women can have a Caesar in Melbourne at the moment is to have an emergency one.
