She has also visited Perth, I think with CAPERS for a seminar. She could have been here more often. She was a very entertaining and challenging speaker MM I think 1991 she was here for the International Homebirth Conference held in Sydney. She was also here a few years ago 2003?? 2004??

[ozmidwifery] Lymphedema
Hi All, has anyone had any experience with caring for a woman with primary lymphedema? A friend of mine has this condition and is 24/40 at the moment. Her symptoms haven't worsened through the pregnancy up to this point. I have had a look at a few databases and texts and it seems there hasn't been any research done in this area and there aren't any guidelines for management of pregnancy/birth for these women. So I'm looking for any anecdotal evidence in this area. It seems that the real risk in this situation is with postpartum infection, so logic would say avoid acquiring a caesarean wound. But she has been told that excessive pushing during 2nd stage could be problematic for her in that most of the lymph nodes she's missing are in her groin and her edema is in her legs. What do you think? Many thanks, Katrina Flora Student Midwife, 2nd year ACU

Re: [ozmidwifery] Lymphedema
What is excessive pushing and who is to say that she will have to do it? Is the downside of excessive pushing worse than the downside of post CS infection, which I have seen some nasty cases of.

[ozmidwifery] Birth Stats around the world..?
Hi All, I was wondering how Australia compares to rest of world re interventions into birth. I know its pretty *up there* on the grand scale but can anyone give me some other countries - either on the lower end or higher end above us. My guess is USA very high??Netherlands/Austria/New Zealand??down the low end. This is just to use is I'm asked in my CBE class!

Re: [ozmidwifery] Birth Stats around the world..?
We're pretty crap, not surprisingly. The latest OECD figures for c-secs I've seen were 2005, anyone seen 2006? We had a higher rate of c-secs in 2005 than the US. Try a search for OECD figures, they're pretty eye opening.
