RE: [ozmidwifery] Gyno?
Title: Message Darren, that's great. Belief in oneself is the most important thing I reckon...that's what I am still working on but am getting there (with only 6 to 10 weeks to go : ) ).

Re: [ozmidwifery] Gyno?
Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] Gyno? Ok, in response I may have phrased my email in a misleading manner, for that I apologise. My friend has chosen to seek the services of a Gyno, and asked me if I could help. I didn't know of any as I am homebirth father who hails the assistance of traditional midwives. But I agreed to ask on her behalf. Of course I offered her information and books regarding the benefits of Midwives as primary caregivers (even a little hard sale tatics here and there). But at the end of the day it is her decision what she chooses and how she wants to birth not mine. I offer her my full support regardless. Darren
Re: [ozmidwifery] Gyno?
Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] Gyno? Dear Darren, The two obstetricians in Brisbane that I know would support her decisions would be: Paul Bretz and Carol Portman Paul works on the southside, sorry don't have his contact but I am sure he is in the yellow pages. However, Carol is on the northside (if she wants a woman). Carol is not in the yellow pages but sees her private clients at her rooms in the Royal Women's Hospital. You need to contact the maternity outpatients she can ring 36368111 and ask for antenatal clinic and they will give her the information.

Re: [ozmidwifery] Gyno?
Dear Darren, If your friend wants to have a no unecessary intervention birth then don't send her to a obstetrician. Tell her to put her name down for the Birth Centre at the Royal Women's Hospital - phone 36368966. If she is so determined to have a no intervention birth then she should not have any qualms about going to the north side for this midwifery care. Anne Clarke - Original Message - From: Darren Sunn To: Ozmidwifery Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 7:31 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Gyno? I would like to ask if anyone knows an Gyno in the Southside-Brisbane area that I could refer a close friend of mine to. She is pregnant with her first baby from IVF after having Two ectopic pregnancies. She tried so hard to get everything right for her previous pregnancies but that was not to be. She wants to have a no intervention birth and with a midwife is preferable, but due to her situation/history would like a sympathetic gyno to refer to. Any help would be appreciated. Darren
Re: [ozmidwifery] Gyno?
Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] Gyno? Dear Darren and Anne Anne is spot on. I thought it but wasnt going to say it (again!). Your friend has had problems, but assuming this pregnancy is normal and she is healthy then she doesnt need, and is better of without an Obstetrician. This reminds me of IVF women I have known (my cousin and daughters God Mother so I know them well!) The intervention was required to get pregnant! If they had normal healthy pregnancies (which they did) then why continue with the Ob? Both by the way had shocking interventions, my cousin (in Brisbane) forceps delivery, baby never had any urge to suck, so bottle fed, an episiotomy extended tear that was sutured so badly she required it to be repaired at 16 weeks (charming!) and now again pregnant with twins thanks to that marvellous IVF going in for the elective c/section - and Im the families lunatic?! The other thing is your friend will need emotional support after the trauma of the ectopic pregnancies, surely midwife care would be much better than her 7 minutes of glory (thanks Lynne must use that one!!) with the Ob In solidarity Justine.
