RE: [ozmidwifery] evil overlords
It's not a midwifery scene. The heroine is pregnant. Looks anywhere from just to about 30/40 in the various scenes. Then she's knocked to the ground, unconscious. Taken to a medical centre where they have to save the baby, ( at this stage she's not looing too pregnant.) It appears to be a vaginal birth, even though it's life-threatening. And wonders of all wonders, she is 'delivered' (only way to describe it) of twins!! They look to be about ten pound each, quite mature..

RE: [ozmidwifery] evil overlords
I have been watching this theme with concern. As a late entry midwife after the birth of 4 children on 2 continents and a homebirth midwife of 22 yrs, I have been through nearly all of the phases on the journey to.I have noticed that in our initial passionate motivation, we are VERY touchy. About EVERYTHING. We want so much for things to be good for birthing women. We want to protect them, to rescue them in as many ways as possible. Sadly, we are up against so many obstacles that we get frustrated and like all minority groups, we turn that frustration inwards on our fellow travelers and colleagues. It is also typical of the dynamics of women, as we too are an oppressed group. So, let us try and recognize what we are doing , expand our consciousness further and not be so sensitive about the little things that divide us. Notice the good things. And yes,oOur sense of humour is very diverse. I agree that Seinfield isnt funny.

RE: [ozmidwifery] evil overlords
I was going to change the email subject header but it seems to have manifested into a more relevant title anyway! The reason I posted the original email was to make light of the thing that, if we are not careful, WILL sink us. If we cant laugh in adversary then how are we ever going to get anywhere. As I said, not everyone finds the same thing funny, but there is no need to highlight it. I would have dedicated more of my time lobbying against any American comedy wasting space on our television!! In recent times there has been conversations (many of which I have been apart of unfortunately) that have resulted in the entirely wrong ideas being focused on. Recently I had a chance to get many signatures for the midwifery indemnity insurance petition but there were many who would not sign it because the word Practioner was included. Seriously, the people reading the petition probably didnt even know what a darn midwife was let alone the issues of whether or not they call themselves Practioner or not. The point was to support the need for indemnity insurance to be available to midwives. I implore for those who dont like what they read to just delete it, ignore it or perhaps send a note to the person who wrote it if you have actual reasons for objecting to the post. The power that the medical fraternity has is unity in the general belief that birth is dangerous and women should be saved from it. The reality is that members of the medical fraternity would firmly believe that cs is the only way, but others would feel that birthing in hospital under supervision is acceptablebut do we hear them arguing in a public forum about it? NO. Nit picking and too much focus on detail can destroy the entire thing. I am going to drop this now thank goodness says everyone).but please everyone, lets try this unity thing for a change huh? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mary Murphy Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 9:35 AM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] evil overlords I have been watching this theme with concern.
