primip breech for vaginal birth

Hi everyone, I currently have a client whom I'll name Heide, who had planned a homebirth for her first baby. At 31 weeks Heide's baby was in a breech position and has remained so despite acupuncture, massage and emotional exploration. Now at 37 weeks she continues to explore her options and

Fw: Consumers and ACMI

Re the Consumer issue. A few thoughts: -   ACMI and the branches in each state, as a professional organisation, could improve in many ways in looking after midwives.  I would like to get that right before we start looking after other groups as well ie consumers.   Affiliations with a number

RE: let's get off the round about

Well said Carol. I believe that ACMI should have consumer members if it is to be true to it's philosophy of PARTNERSHIP. We could have a whole discussion about what a PROFESSIONAL organisation is and I think we would find that PROFESSIONAL models of care and PARTNERSHIP models of care are alte

Re: Consumer input

Dear Pete, the way to make anything happen is to participate in all levels of governance. Did you respond to the call for a review of teh Constitution? We had but one response in Tassie! I doubt if many midwives have even read it, becuase the only way to get "consumers" (whatever they are in re
