Barbara, If it hasnt already been published, I'm sure it's about to. The hospital I worked at was involved in the data collection and I became friends with one of the research midwives. I saw her at lunch a short while ago and discovered this info. Robin - Original Message - From: Barb

Re: [ozmidwifery] OP babies

Hi Lois, I have also had this experience of knowing the baby was well down in the pelvis only to be told by Obs that it was never in there and I was sadly mistaken in my judgement. One happened to say these words of 'wisdom' in front of the client who promptly stated that in fact the baby was

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this discussion on OP position during labour.  It has been very beneficial to me to share and debrief in this forum, and it will also be helpful when "N" is ready to discuss and debrief - down the track.  Cheers, Lois     - Original Message --

Another great and very enjoyable thing women can do to help is raq shaqui (belly dance). And nothing beats some heavy (energetic) rocking and rolling late in the labour too! - Original Message - From: Lois Wattis To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 20

Re: [ozmidwifery] OP babies

There are many lifelstyle factors which could contribute to the number of OP positions seen. In my mid education, we were told it was 10% of women. I think it is more common than this, and talk about changing the way we do our daily activites, which can encourage a little one to settle itsel

Re: [ozmidwifery] OP babies

Lois and Robin:   I think you have covered this extremely well. When I was in Seattle, we all greeted the book and exercises offered by Optimal Foetal Positioning with anticipation. However, it seems that there is more to the baby's positioning than exercises and posture of the mum. While I a

I have a question that will probably be seen as a silly one to some (but remember I am a consumer so it is my right to ask silly questions!)  If one of the main reasons for cs is failure to progress and fetal malpresentation AND a common factor with both these 'reasons' is a baby that is per

Thanks for your reply! Posterior babies are often too stubborn to come out very smoothly!! - I've had a few myself! However, with all the manipulation at birth I would think that she would benefit from chiro/osteo treatment to realign/correct any compression caused by her position in the womb
