Re: [ozmidwifery] vaginal ultrasound

Thank you deeply, Debbie. My eyes are opened further, along with my mind.   Aviva  The point is that - and I'm sure no-one would doubt it - that scans have their place.  In retrospect, I wish that I had had more scans with my second child - he may then have had the chance that my third did.

Re: [ozmidwifery] Day 3 weight loss

Irene You can probably guess my advice about weighing on day 3 - STOP it! It only causes stress to mothers and many midwives and doctors. Observation of feeds, output (passage of mec and transitional stools) and baby condition and behaviour is much more useful than day 3 weight to assess how wel

Re: [ozmidwifery] Day 3 weight loss

How would I know? I never weigh babies at day 3. In a well population, even if not feeding too well on the first few days they usually pick up. One can tell by looking at them if they are not doing well. Weigh on day 10 is a good measure and even then I don't worry tooo much. Most of the time I

This is so simple that I don't mean to insult any one babies don't need to be weighed at birth the next day if the parents want to know is better also believe it or not I now suggest all mothers in the private system have their babe weighed on the SAME scales ie wait till they go to PN ward .I hav

Re: [ozmidwifery] Day 3 weight loss

These were homebirth babies, weighed on day7. Most babies born in the USA (at least in Washington) in hospital would be discharged between 24 and 48 hours after birth, so they would not have a day 3 weigh either. marilyn - Original Message - From: "Irene Munro" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[
