Denise, I've been thinking the same myself. Recently looking through lists who give grants for projects in health, womens development etc etc - government and Philanthropy Australia. Why couldn't the Maternity Coalition get a grant?? We have a terrific project don't we? President Barb?? Liz

Title: Living and dying Dear Sue, I wanted to respond to say how sorry I am about the loss of your friend.   I also feel that in other hands your friend may have been given more time - and that is your thinking, that if her mother was there it wouldn't have happened, especially as you related

Dear Jane,   Many thanks for your prompt reply. However, my suspicions are that the teaching in some hospitals might differ to yours, and am seeking confirmation of that fact. Yours is the type I advocate. Liz

Dear List,   I need some help for a paper I'm doing.     In 1999, I attended antenatal classes with my daughter.   On pain, the discussion progressed from nitrous oxide, pethidine to epidural, with nothing of the functions of pain for the mother and baby in natural birth, nor endorphins nor

Dear Robin, In modern times, the 1930s was a push for birth reform through women's negative view of hospital birth.This was also the time of midwifery regulation and outlawing and the increasing power of obstetrics. The control of midwifery is very long standing, from about the 15th century!

Jo, you did great -  as did the couple!!! early decelerations due to head compression are of less concern than late, as you know, and in a multi who will dilate quickly the stress put on all of you is just about typical of hospital and medicalised birth. I just hate the panic sometimes too -
