Thanks for sharing this Lisa. Amazing
isn't it? They (medical folks) normalise ultrasound for pregnancy and then
act surprised and tut tut about "consumer led developments" when people,
thinking ultrasound is 'safe' want to have them done to "see" the
baby!

going to ask who did the palpations, but the article told me. “Each

To all you magnificent home birth warrior women out there, could you please

Hi Gail
I'm not a home birth midwife, but I'm interested in what you're saying,
because I was a student once upon a time, and I remember thinking the
same. I was fortunate to gain a lot of experience with a lactation
consultant who I came to respect as her 'skills' were incredible to me.

Hi All.
The feedback I've gotten so far seems to mirror what I instinctively believe
breastfeeding to be. Pamphlets that are distributed at the hospital

centre and the last two were born at home.
I experienced lots of problems breastfeeding the first two - including cracked

Actually this list is one of the only places I have heard this side of the
