Re: [ozmidwifery] Fund rebatesUnfortunately, you can't claim your 'joggers' anymore on PHI Justine! Damn shame because it was one of the two things I ever got to claim from my PHI! Well, I did get to claim a third, a pitiful amount for my mipp that attended my son's birth nearly 13 years ago.

MessageHi Kirsten, Are you talking about the HPV (genital warts) vaccine? They say HPV is responsible for approx 70% of cervical cancer cases although I have seen that figure stretched beyond the 70% for the sake of advertising of the HPV vaccine. I'm not sure where the figure comes from. I

Being 100% pro breastfeeding Barb, I'd like to go along with your 98%. I have to agree with Janet though. There are very real reasons why the 98% does not apply to all in our culture particularly. Having 100% fully breastfed three babies from periods of 6 months to 11 months, not used

I've just gotta say that I'm gobsmacked at the number of hospitals/birth centres that are actually offering waterbirths as a real option! That's great! I don't get to hear much positive stuff about hospitals and birth these days. Jayne - Original Message - From: Janet Fraser
