Re: [ozmidwifery] HBA

How exciting. I've been with HBA for years, rang them today re this. They didn't know anything about it but I asked them to get a manager to call me to discuss it. If I can get cover for homebirth from HBA then maybe I can have a homebirth after all. It's probably just wishful thinking

Hi Yvette, Hope you can manage the home birth. Don't forget, he can book all he likes but can't cut till you sign the consent form. I know he can bully but be strong and hold out for what you feel is best for you and the babies. Cheers Judy --- Lindsay Yvette [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How

[ozmidwifery] sounds during labour/birth

Re: [ozmidwifery] HBA

I received benefits from HBA 11 1/2 years ago when I had my 1st son at home. They paid a fee for each prenatal visit with the midwife up to a certain amount (I think it worked out to $25.00 each visit) and then they paid a lump sum which from memory I think was $300.00, for the actual birth

RE: [ozmidwifery] Fw: [MCMgtCte] National Caesraean Awareness Day

We asked around the nation after the world trade centre disaster and the unnanomious vote was to keep the NCAD date so we can have something related to birth rather than death. Plus the date was initally decided on in honour of Jackie Mawson from Birthrites to thank her for all that she has done

Re: [ozmidwifery] sounds during labour/birth

one thing that is coming out of literature which asks women about their fears is that women significantly worry about how they will act in labour. A huge Italian study found that it is one of the highest rated fears women have. In my study it is certainly a reason that women use drugs or

Re: [ozmidwifery] sounds during labour/birth

So true. Self control is not always an appropriate thing. Women who need to be good girls( for the reasons we all know about) have to use alot of self control in labour, it's really hard work for them, sad. Brenda - Original Message - From: Belinda [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:

Re: [ozmidwifery] sounds during labour/birth

The other issue is caregivers who are not comfortable with birth noises themselves. If they make some comment or encourage an epidural or pethidine becaue THEY can't handle it. I had a midwife make a comment to me at a birth once ( I was the doula) and I was shocked that she couldn't relax with
