Re: [ozmidwifery] another induction

How about OBs don't take on clients for when they plan to be on holidays? "I'm sorry but I'm away in April when your baby is due. Perhaps you'd like to see my colleague Dr So-and-so?" This all came up because this one has either taken a client on knowing that he would be on hols in her last weeks o

What is wrong with the Ob asking the "covering ob" to see all his women for one visit? Then the woman would have at least met the doctor who might be on when hers is away. In W.A. Homebirth midwives usually have a backup midwife who both "covers" her but also attends as second midwife at the birth

Re: [ozmidwifery] another induction

Personally I hope that my healthcare practitioners will schedule holidays to recharge their batteries. My MW had a month off while I was pg and I felt happy that she was doing that rather than working to the point of exhaustion. The point is that seeking to induce a client because of a holiday is a

RE: [ozmidwifery] another induction

Oh Paivi, As it's already been said, there are too many similarities between your country's maternity care systems and ours to go into... I just wanted to say that I'm sure anyone who longs for better births for women, and change in the system as a whole feels much of the despair you feel, about

Re: [ozmidwifery] another induction

When professionals disappoint and defraud their clientele, they have only themselves to blame for the lack of respect and mistrust which arises in the public. Giving prenatal care to a woman when one is planning to be away at the time of her birth is simply lying. This kind of lack of integrit

Re: [ozmidwifery] another induction

Janet,   This IOL for Drs going on holidays happens all the time ! I'm not saying it's right, just that it's very common. It's also very common to book women knowing that the OB will be on leave when she's due & a colleague will cover, but they usually tell the woman that this is the case. I'
