My onlyquestion isdo we impose what we
as midwives want on women? Surely if they want their baby weighed for
whatever reason, they have that right. Otherwise it is again limiting women's
choice. Ihave heard ofmidwives who refuse to weigh the baby
until the next day, do we have that right?

Hi , I have been noticing bumper stickers over the
last few days. Unfortunately anything too wordy gets missed because you
can't read it unless you're uncomfortably close to the bumper! An example
of this is 'Don't take your organs to Heaven, Heaven knows they're needed
here'
Hi Jackie, this sounds really interesting.

Aren't they clever! They (obs) are saying we want
women to have the choice for choice's sake not merely based on medical
criteria. If a woman wants it, she should be allowed and we, the men of
importance, support their choice! And if she wants it now, on this date, she
should be allowed to

Hi Julie, I spent 3 weeks in India at the beginning
of this yearon a volunteer medical mission - hoping to see home births
etc. Unfortunately there was a huge push to have the rural women birth in
the hospitals, with them being offered 'family planning operations' after their
2nd baby.

Yesterday, when visiting one of my clients who is
planning a VBAC, she showed me a pamphlet her Obs had given her (he is pro VBAC
obviously). It is a new 'release' from the RCOG for women and is positive
toward VBACs!! The pamphlet is quite well written, decent language generally,
