[ozmidwifery] Irving Buzzard Award

Congratulations to Anne Smith on her award. Being a midwifery student was difficult at times to say the least, but I loved going to Mildura Base, and went back several times. Anne along with many other midwives there were wonderful mentors to the students, and didn't treat us like complete i

Sandra Thanks for the info on HB inj. there was a discussion on it some months ago, so when we had this baby in hospital, I definitely did NOT have the HB given. She will have it later. My second son had the inj at birth, although he started well with the breast-feeding, had a lot of probs l

Re: [ozmidwifery] Hep B Vaccine at Birth

Sandra, thank you for your frank discussion of hep B vacc at birth on this list and the "birth talk" list.  I am definitely not supportive of this agenda and thankfully as I practice in homebirth, I do not have to give this vaccination..actually I would refuse and refer parents to a GP if the

Victoria I had just sent off my own Hep B issue to the list when I downloaded yours - must be something in the air. I am a midwife and was immunized about 15 yrs ago when I first graduated with little thought and few questions (I think it might even have been produced from human source in tho

[ozmidwifery] Hep B Vaccine at Birth

I have previously expressed concerns related to the administration of Hep B Vaccine (HBV) to all babes at birth ie that the midwives in my unit had become aware of marked increase in numbers of irritable babes and many more with breastfeeding difficulties in the first few days, since May 2000

RE: [ozmidwifery] Always Greener

I agree Christina.  A lot of the images people see on TV they believe to be fact. Do you remember the old black and white movie “Johnny Belinda” about a deaf mute woman (Jane Wyman) who was raped by a sailor and had to bear the shame of single motherhood in the old days?  Well the birth s

Re: [ozmidwifery] Always Greener

On further reflection I suppose I have a few more gripes!   It was a pity that it was a birth at home without a skilled attendant. Even though dairy farmers can deliver cows, I think midwives are preferable with human babies!!  (My father in law loves talking birthing with me 'cos he's got

Re: [ozmidwifery] Always Greener

Hello Christina and other ozmidders, I watched that bit of that episode too- by accident, actually... I agree with Christina's assessment and comments. At least it showed that babies can get born safely and happily without a doctor in a white coat and doting handmaidens surrounded by hi-tech

The episode last night of an unplanned homebirth (due to a car not starting  to get them to hospital) was not too bad considering the crappy way most births are portrayed on T.V. My 2 gripes are: Childbirth is not a great time for cow jokes,  and unmedicated women don't need to be told to p
