I remember as a child being given Vit D
supplementation (despite my shorts and singlet and living in Tully) via good old
cod liver oil. I think it was a cultural/ethnic habit left over(Germany

declined the Vitamin D.

I'd lost all my old NSWMA conference paperwork while having a 'clearing of

Judy's daughter won't regret contacting Neil I'm sure. He is a big supporter
of breastfeeding.
Hope the O/S workshops are going well.

Deb, it is not so much that they do it, but how we interpret it. We
have for years been told that meconium in the liqour is a sign of "Fetal
Distress" There have been many unnecessary
Dear

you
have such a way with explaining things. Sometimes your explanations clear
up things which we have "always sort of known". I always enjoy reading

I know there has been discussion in the past about
this but I am in a hurry to get some information for a woman whom had a positive
vaginal birth that turned ugly when she "tore badly inside and out" (in quotes
because that is what she said and I have no further knowledge of what sort of

British babies that hardly ever see sunlight ;-)

Hi Nat,
I'm not a midwife, but maybe the cramping could be to do with her pubic

Dear Jo,

Babies lungs are filled with a special fluid that is quite separate to amniotic fluid. It is called Fetal Lung Fluid (FLF). This is what is expelled as the baby is squeezed through the birth canal. The baby occasionally 'spits' a little of this into the amniotic fluid, as a result of fetal

Thank you Gayle, that is a great explanation. However I have
