The death of the woman from uncontrolled bleeding with placenta accreta written about in this post: http://www.themidwifenextdoor.com/?p=1273<br /><br />shows clearly the need to do everything we can to provide the right environment to keep birth normal.Thinkbirthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813359204378047414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850993991742337865.post-70199225749994256672010-11-17T13:54:28.084+11:002010-11-17T13:54:28.084+11:00Thanks for this information Carolyn.

Your comment that nothing worse than midwives who go along with what the doctors say is troubling. Sounds like you have had that happen to you. I'm sorry if that's been your experience. What would you have liked to happen?Thinkbirthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813359204378047414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850993991742337865.post-1451423089782879052010-11-16T10:27:20.608+11:002010-11-16T10:27:20.608+11:00How refreshing to see something like this coming f...How refreshing to see something like this coming from the medical fraternity. I think the more midwives we can get thinking along these lines, the better the health system will be for everyone. Nothing worse than going into a birthing situation and have your midwife tell you to stand up to the doctor and then meakly agree with everything they say!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850993991742337865.post-36149672817310908162010-11-16T07:16:56.450+11:002010-11-16T07:16:56.450+11:00Thanks Sarah, the more tips the better!

An apt observation is that the first intervention in a woman's labour and birth is when she leaves her home.Thinkbirthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813359204378047414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850993991742337865.post-86735129812296549992010-11-15T07:15:33.498+11:002010-11-15T07:15:33.498+11:00Here is the RCM's 10 top tips for normal birth...Here is the RCM's 10 top tips for normal birth:<br /><br />http://www.rcmnormalbirth.org.uk/practice/ten-top-tips/Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850993991742337865.post-75975094358135837702010-11-14T18:56:26.367+11:002010-11-14T18:56:26.367+11:00The first strategy would be: STOP INDUCING THE BI...The first strategy would be: STOP INDUCING THE BIRTH PROCESS IN ANY WAY. When the birth starts on its own time, the scales tip dramatically in favour of, at least, a vaginal birth. <br /><br />I hate to see "as long as possible" as the guideline for how long to stay at home. Most people think that means 5 minute apart sensations which, in reality, gets them tracking back and forth and exhausting themselves with worry, travel and dealing with strangers.<br />It needs to be more specific. i.e. stay home until the top shoulder is born.WiseWomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339841433199041747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850993991742337865.post-80173829809368951472010-11-14T17:16:49.836+11:002010-11-14T17:16:49.836+11:00Thanks for your comments Julieanne, Pauline and Ju...Thanks for your comments Julieanne, Pauline and Judy. Glad to hear that Mareeba has that sorted Judy and of course, your statistics show that to be true! Pauline, producing the strategies as a laminated list is a great idea. Thanks too for sharing the ideas Julieanne and Pauline, I appreciate that very much. The more we can share ideas and think about how our services can be better, the better it will be for women and their babies (and for midwifery). warmly, CarolynCarolyn Hastiehttp://thinkbirth.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2850993991742337865.post-38109405774157937382010-11-14T13:19:29.941+11:002010-11-14T13:19:29.941+11:00An excellent article.
