ABC Radio

[Andrea Robertson]

Congratulations to all the midwives who spoke so clearly and passionately 
on the ABC's Morning Show in Sydney today. Sally Loane was intersted and 
reasonably well informed and it was a good airing of the issues. Fantastic! 
I gather there is someting in the Telegraph today, but I haven't seen that 
as yet...

James Valentine  on local ABC radio AM ,  a short segment but 
sympathetic to midwives with a few callers with nice midwife stories. Mentioned 
IMD on Sun. and the insurance crisis.

Next Tuesday at 9am (EST) ABC radio is running a 15 
minute segment on cs and women's choices.  Anne Dealany has asked me to 
talk about choices and processes that women go through which brings them to the 
choice of elective cs or vbac.  I am going to do a bit of prep work tonight 
and will send the list some ideas I will bring into the conversation.  If 
any one has anything they want me to include (yes, NMAP and continuity of carer 
and so forth are already on my list.)  please let me know.  

wish me luck, I am scarred shitlesswhen ever I 
get nervous I cant stop talking (as many of you have already had the misfortune 
to experience first hand!!!)

[Larry & Megan]

when 
you go on radio you can hear it all through the phone so it gives you some 
chance to listen and think about what is being said, that aside you will finish 
up and wish you had said a heap of other stuff not to mention the style of 
language you use, eg delivery instead of birth etc.
Have 
fun, i'll race home from kindy and listen, might phone in to, I bet they get 
inudated with calls.

Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] ABC radio



Strength to you, Jo!  I know what you mean re being scared...I was on ABC talkback radio chatting about attending our local NMAP launch rally with a group of c/sec women, and the effect it had on us all.  I thought I was going to throw up afterwards!  But that subsided fast and I was left with a feeling of satisfaction of having got the idea "out there" that a c/sec was not all it is proclaimed to be by knife-happy OBs!  (and relieved that I got through the converation without my toddler butting in, by plying him with juice and rice cakes at will!!)

I guess the only thing that I would add is that women usually believe they are "choosing" a c/sec through "informed consent".  But it is not "informed", as their OB usually does not give them all the information on the possible effects from a c/sec, or an epidural for that matter.  Women need to be given ALL the information, and currently, they are generally not.

BEst of luck, and you go, girl!
Melissa

Good luck Jo,
Remember its radio -the audience cant see you -if 
you need to, take a few notes with you of main points you want to get across. 
Its Ok to sidestep questions and say what YOU want to say.

Re: [ozmidwifery] ABC radio

[Margie Perkins]

Hi Jo

I'm glad this interview eventuated and I'm sure you'll do it really well. Current 
topic of faith/trust versus information is important too - continuity of care helps to 
build the woman's trustof process and her caregivers and midwife's and support 
people's faith in woman's ability. Perhaps far less women would go for elective caesar 
if they had time to talk over fears throughout pregnancy.

Good luck

Margie

Re: [ozmidwifery] ABC radio

[rem & melissa bruijn]

Good point, MArgie.  My best friend went to her OB at 37 wks because she was
extremely anxious about the birth.  What did he offer her...time to talk?  A
chance to express her fears?  An opportunity to get some perspective on her
issues?  No...he offered her the "choice" of an induction, to get it over
and done with.  Induced at 38 wks.  12 hrs with no dilation..."emergency"
caesarean.  Baby with APGAR of 3.  Traumatised mother.

Even tho it wasn't an elective c/sec, it was an "elective" induction...and
she berated herself for months for "allowing" the induction to take place.
(it took a long while for me to be able to convice her that she was never
given the opportunity to make an informed choice)

Imagine if she'd had a caring midwife she had grown to trust with whom she
could share her fears and concerns.  I'm sure it would have been a different
story.

Melissa

Hi 
All,
I have 
been involved in this book's production. It originated from the idea of a group 
of Bendigo midwives. The stories in the book came from a competition that 
our branch of ACMI ran for International Midwives Day last year. Midwives from 
all over Australia submitted stories, and we are delighted with the result.We 
have just had the launch of Labour of Love on International Midwives' Day here 
in Bendigo. There is a Melbourne launch at RWH on May 20th. Allison Buck is 
officiating.
Please 
excuse my bragging, we are very proud of the result!

The ANF did something similar some years ago - the 
resulting book was called "From The Heart" and I have a copy which I have 
re-visited several times. Many midwifery stories in that one too, as well as 
nursing stories, it is a lovely book, and I had submitted a story in the 
original competition so was interested (didn't get into the book but did get an 
'honorary mention')  Thanks for the info ladies - looks like I'll be off to 
Big W tomorrow for my copy.

Re: [ozmidwifery] re- ABC radio

I did the same as you Nicole until I woke up that the discussion on John Howard had nothing to do with birth. The frequency given on the notice was incorrect - it was for local ABC programs in the east. Had to go down into the 500s to get Radio National. This meant I also missed the first ten minutes of the program and could not for the life of me get on to have a say. The obstetrician was distorting the truth somewhat, especially with his comments of women "dribbling" and having other pelvic floor problems after vaginal births. He forgot to mention that this applied to women who had surgical interventions with their vaginal births.

I just left it on my regular setting for radio 
national and I heard most of it (i had dozed off about 20 min before then woke 
up during the first 5 mins/intro. I thought Jenny Gamble was excellent and 
the AMA President (for Qld) predictable in many ways though I think 20 
- 30 mins is way too short a time for a meaningful discussion. The comment about 
pelvic floor problems after vaginal births was also predictable and also 
reminiscent of the comments and position of the previous President of  
ACOG. Such comments get way too much press coverage  without appropriate 
information as Jan suggested.

  I've just looked to see if there's a transcript... I can only find a 
  summary & a "listen" icon (not sure if that's the whole program or just a 
  snippet.
   
  Here's the link:

ABC Radio National - New Dimensions

[Arthur Athanassiou & Alison B Reid]

I know this is short notice but there is a very interesting broadcast on 
ABC Radio National at 3.00am On Monday.  It is a show called "New 
Dimensions" from the USA and this week the focus is on childbirth.

A horrible time I know, but it was first broadcast at midnight on Saturday 
( yes - another GREAT time slot ) and it was excellent.

[ozmidwifery] ABC radio Broken Hill today...

[Tania Smallwood]

 

Hi there,

 

I was contacted last night by the programmer of the morning show on
‘alternative’ stuff, and they are doing a segment this morning about
waterbirth, on which I’ve been asked to speak!  So if there is anyone on the
list that lives in that area, tune in around 10.15am and pray for no stuff
ups or tongue ties!!

 

Tania

Natural vs. caesar childbirth debate reconsidered

PM - Thursday, 16 October , 2003  18:42:00
Reporter: Annie White
PETER CAVE: It's as old as humankind itself, but childbirth continues to provoke heated debate amongst health professionals, the community, and of course, mothers. In particular, there's dispute over whether a natural childbirth, or delivery by caesarean section, is the best or safest way.In this month's Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, two doctors argue against trials comparing the alternatives, saying the results could fundamentally affect the very nature of giving birth.Annie White reports.ANNIE WHITE: Medical science generally pushes for more knowledge, rather than less. But in what is an already passionate area for debate, Professor David Ellwood and his colleague, Dr Stephen Robson, are urging restraint in the study of the relative merits of caesarean section and v!
 aginal
 birth.DAVID ELLWOOD: There is an increasing trend towards elective caesarean section, and there have been discussions over the last couple of years about mounting the so-called term-cathallic (phonetic) trial, which would be a randomised trial comparing caesarean section versus planned vaginal birth for women having their first babies. We're concerned that the impact of such a trial could well be quite far reaching, and that it needs to be well thought through before such a trial is mounted.ANNIE WHITE: According to Professor Ellwood, funding applications have been made for doctors in the United States to conduct such a trial. His concern is that such a study could have a serious impact on women's choice about the type of birth they want to have.His fear is that if caesarean sections were found to be safer in such a trial, doctors and patients might feel compelled to go that way. In support, Professor Ellwood cites a worldwide trial i!
 n late
 2000 on the safety of vaginal breech births, which he says has resulted in most breech babies now being delivered by caesarean. DAVID ELLWOOD: We already had available quite a lot of information about the safety of vaginal breach birth before that trial was conducted. One problem with the outcome of such a trial is that it tends to be… the results are then applied universally across all vaginal breech births, and there's no attempt to individualise care, even though a number of authorities, you know, such as the Royal Australian New Zealand College of ONG, do state in their policies that vaginal breech birth is still a reasonable option for some women to choose, it's a really a choice that's now virtually denied to women. ANNIE WHITE: Professor Ellwood says not all studies are good studies, because the results can depend on who is included and how it's run. As well, he says many of the health impacts of babies and children could take as long as 20 years to
 show.Dr Barbara Vernon is the Executive Officer of the Australian College of Midwives. Like Professor Ellwood she had serious concerns about any moves to a randomised controlled trial.BARBARA VERNON: Well, studies into caesarean section that would be truly based on a randomised basis would be highly unethical, it would involve randomising women into having major abdominal surgery without the presence of a medical indication that that was the best thing for them and their baby. And it is very hard to see how it could ever be ethical to assign someone to major surgery when there is no medical need for that. ANNIE WHITE: Dr Vernon says the popularity of caesarean sections in Australia is already a cause for concern.BARBARA VERNON: Certainly a caesarean section is a marvellous technology, and it needs to occur for a small percentage of women. But it is not acceptable that we have caesarean section rates close to 25 per cent nationally in Australi!
 a, when
 international best practice shows that 10 per cent… 10 to 15 per cent should be the upper limit. ANNIE WHITE: Midwife and President of the College of Midwives, Marg Phelan, says she's concerned women aren't being fully informed about the risks of having surgery to deliver their babies.MARG PHELAN: Natural birth is the best way to have a baby, yeah, and having a caesarean section is a major operation, it's a surgical operation, which has its own risks, any operation has its risks for the mother and for the baby.ANNIE WHITE: What are the risks associated with caesareans?MARG PHELAN: Well, an anaesthetic for a starter, whether it be a spinal anaesthetic or a general anaesthetic, they have a … they carry a certain amount of risks, and an abdominal operation, interference to the bladder or to the bowel, accidental, you know, damage to those areas, and then of course, the risk of an infection afterwards at the wound site, a risk of the baby develop!

 complications, respiratory complications. ANNIE WHITE: Wh
