Re: [ozmidwifery] big baby

hmm, the difficulties of trusting ultrasound for baby weights... I hear many midwives recount stories of the inaccuracies of this practice, & the less-than-ideal outcomes that follow. Everyone seems to have a story - mine is about the woman carrying twins, who at 37 weeks was told by her OB that

I realise that some U/S weights are close, but recently had a tall, well proportioned primip woman who was told her baby was 4.8kg. when she was induced later for PROM this image of the big baby certainly affected her. she later had a c/s of a 3.6kg baby. Now she has a scarred uterus and her repr

Dear Robyn, I cannot believe your reflexologist suggested to get an epidural early?! I don't know what to say! Wow! I guess I'm surprised that someone like that would say that. That's one of the last things you want to hear. I got goosebumps reading your sentence "the most empowering and fulfil

Dear Sarah, You are so totally right about the subconscious.When I asked the reflexoligist how I could prepare myself for my next pregnancy to avoid the same birth otcomes due to the shape of my pelvis, she suggested to get an epidural early. Not the advise I wanted to hear!! With my second pregna

Dear Sarah, I was told with my first pregnancy that I had a straight sacrum by a reflexologist, ( I now wish I was never told), my labour was very long with medical intervention. Very disappointing as I planned a home birth. With my second pregnancy I had to do a lot of 'mental' work to regain my
