Thanks LynnI too welcomed a baby at 00:27 this morning and found it a wonderful way to celebrate IMD. Although now up and at it again after 5 hours sleep is a bit ordinary. How come the rest of the world doesnt fit in with this wonderful thing we do.

To all a wonderful day recognising the work 
that we do as midwives. I am off to bed after being with Julia and Geoff as 
they welcomed their firstborn son this morning at 4.55. What a way to start the

[ozmidwifery] Mr Latham and Mothers7 IMD present for all!!

[Denise Hynd]

Dear Justine
Here in WA we are inviting Mr Latham to come to the CMP when he next comes
to Perth to meet some families and midwives who have experienced this
Community Based Solution to the ongoing problems of the Australian maternity
services.
We want to ask him to offer funding to access universal access to the option
of 1-on-1 midwifery care if he becomes our next Prime Minister, as his
Midwives and Mother's Day 2004 present to Australian mothers and midwives.

It would be great if all the groups which endorsed NMAP could write and ask
him to consider this?

ACMI (SA) IMD awards

[Christine & Tony Holliday]

Hello all,

 

The SA
branch of the ACMI celebrated IMD with a lunch yesterday and there we presented
our annual awards.  

 

Our
Recognition of Midwifery Excellence Award was won by two community midwives
from Whyalla, Verity Timms and Julia McMahon.  Included in the nomination were the following reasons, they
have a strong commitment to the birthing community of Whyalla including
offering up to three antenatal visits a week to enable the women to remain in
their own homes and reduce hospital admissions.  They have also been instrumental in developing protocols for
the care of women in the Woomera Detention Centre and  have extended the hand of friendship to
these women and help them to have a positive birth experience.

 

The
Midwifery Advocate Award was given to CARES SA, who support women in many
regards including all aspects of LSCS. 
They appreciate the importance of continuity of carer and raise the
profile of midwives by recognising them as the expert professional to give care
to a woman and her baby.

 

Congratulations
also go to Janine Evans who won the SA Johnson’s Baby Midwife of the Year.

 

It was a
very enjoyable day and so nice to get the opportunity to catch up with so many
midwives.

 

Christine

Happy Midwives Day from the Sunshine Coast in QLD. We are having breakfast
at a cafe down the beach in the morning with hopefully the print and tv
people in attendence. Have a great day all. I can't find any of the
conversations on cholelitiasis that was had early this year .I have probably
deleted them . Can any one send them to me as I have a client planning a
homebirth who has a history of bile acids in her last 2 pregnancies. Thanks
in advance. Power to women! Leigh

IMD Celebrations in WA

[elaine stratton]

Dear all WA Midwives and consumers

Just a FINAL reminder to let me know if you need tickets to our
"Bubbles and Blues" Cocktail Dance at the Sheraton Perth on Friday 3rd May 
from 7pm until midnight.(Bookings close on Wednesday).
Price of $70 includes all the bubbles (champagne, beer, wine, soft drink) 
you can drink all night plus sumptuous cocktail food and a live band "The 
Roz Pearson Quintet" to dance to.

VANESSA and ALANA from National Office are coming over to be with us so this 
will be a rare oppportunity for WA midwives to meet and talk to them about 
all the current issues in midwifery, both Nationally and Internationally as 
they have just returned from the ICM conference in Vienna.

The Johnson and Johnson Baby WA Finalist will be presented with his/her 
award and it would be wonderful if we could pack out the room to show how 
well West Aussies support their winner of this prestigious award.

It promises to be a memorable evening of celebration with our peers and 
midwifery consumers of our wonderful profession of midwifery.

So act now!! Get out your "glad rags", dust off your dancing shoes,contact 
some friends and get some tickets from me and come along and join us on 
Friday. You could be the lucky winner of the door prize (donated by the 
Sheraton) or a beautiful Lucina Rose

See YOU there!!

and a Very Happy IMD from ACMI WA to everyone else on the list.

Yours in midwifery
Elaine Stratton
Publicity Officer ACMI WA

IMD 2000

[Alex Weston]

To all the assume midwives on ozmid, 
after you have read this e-mail could you send it to other midwives not on 
ozmid, Thanks
 
The NSW Midwives Association is 
co-ordinating IMD 2000 for branches of ACMI and all midwives across 
Australia.  I am currently involved in negotiations with various 
corporations in relationship to sponsorship for a number of 
activities.
 
I am keen to receive feedback in 
relation to the IMD packs from this year, please send these to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
Certainly we had a problem with very 
late orders this year as well as Australia Post.  Next year we would like 
to send the packs out at the beginning of March, which means all orders need to 
be in the first week of February.  This means various products will be 
ordered/made in November/December 1999.
 
Also we would welcome ideas re 
promotional products, particularly for the IMD packs but also for other 
activities for IMD, nationally.
 
I am able to secure significant 
sponsorship dollars if we can present clear projects to corporations. We are 
looking for ideas for projects that will benefit all midwives practicing in 
Australia.
 
As we have the slogans already 
identified by ACMI I can commence processes over the next few months for 
t-shirts for IMD.  I would like to try for next year, all midwives 
wearing the ACMI T-shirt on IMD.  
 
These could be sent out the first week 
of March, if all orders are in by the first week in February, with production 
commencing end of 1999.
Send in ideas and we will try to put 
samples/drawings on our website.

  How many midwives would wear the 
  t-shirts??
  What style would you 
  like??
  Would you prefer a 
  shirt??
  Do you want a few 
  choices??
  What colors would you 
  prefer??
 
I will be in Hobart for the national 
conference and am happy to meet with representatives/midwives from across 
Australia in order to discuss IMD 2000.  Call NSWMA and arrange a meeting 
(02) 92819522 alternatively in Hobart I can be 
contacted on 0412 967 297.
 
Look forward to your 
ideas
