I have a 2.5 year old daughter and a 6 month old son, whom I am still nursing. I wanted to put my story out there to see if any one else has heard of anything else like this and what I should maybe do about it. Is it possible that I may in fact still be pregnant or have one of those chemical pregnancies or could there be something else seriously wrong with me? It’s hard to find information on medical issues that are not pregnancies but have pregnancy like symptoms. A week...http://www.midwiferyforum.org/Mid-Forum.nsf?OpenDatabase&docId=97606E22EE420D4F802576F70044B2E5&mainId=97606E22EE420D4F802576F70044B2E5Sat, 27 Mar 2010 18:30:16 +0000SaimaWant to become a midwife?(Saima) what a great resource, thanks i found it very helpful!http://www.midwiferyforum.org/Mid-Forum.nsf?OpenDatabase&docId=C5CC857434D7D315802576F30065A63A&mainId=10D6223CD20E0E94802576C60044423ETue, 2 Mar 2010 21:50:50 +0000Rosemary HarrisMIDIRS Discussion Forum - Home(Rosemary Harris) Thanks Tracey - ;)http://www.midwiferyforum.org/Mid-Forum.nsf?OpenDatabase&docId=081182D10A703C0D802576DA007802E9&mainId=590D297D25422CCB802576D9006985C8Tue, 2 Mar 2010 18:12:08 +0000Tracy MidwifeMIDIRS Discussion Forum - Home(Tracy Midwife) The recently published Pathways for Maternity care (March 2009) advise intermittent auscultation for 1 minute every 15 minutes in the 1st stage of labour. In 2nd sage 1 minute every 5 minutes after each contraction. These pathways have been published by Quality Improved Scotland.

There is no way that your midwife should dismiss yours fears, your midwife is there to care for you and your family and to empower you into making a decision which is right for you. I see it is a wee while ago you wrote this forum piece and I hope you have now met and discussed your fears with your midwife.http://www.midwiferyforum.org/Mid-Forum.nsf?OpenDatabase&docId=CE50D9A3AD3BCFC1802576DA00635D12&mainId=A3E7576B81533089802576C6004623FAMon, 1 Mar 2010 19:12:35 +0000Rosemary HarrisMIDIRS Discussion Forum - Home(Rosemary Harris) Does anyone have any guidelines that they use for the interpretation of intermittent ausucltation? It has been identified in the matenriyt unit where I practise, that some midwives appear to be interpreting intermittent auscultation in the same way as continuous electronic fetal monitoring and has led to some debate and discussion. There does not appear to be much up to date literature on the subject - can anybody point me in the right direction please?http://www.midwiferyforum.org/Mid-Forum.nsf?OpenDatabase&docId=590D297D25422CCB802576D9006985C8&mainId=590D297D25422CCB802576D9006985C8Fri, 12 Feb 2010 19:25:42 +0000danieldany90Pregnancy and Labour(danieldany90) Very early signs of pregnancy - are there 10 pregnancy signs?

I have discussed it in detail with Midwifes at caesarean.org.uk, who told me the facts, the steps involved and after hearing my history, told me that a normal birth might not be very good in my case. She also told me to get the process of discussion and counselling started BEFORE I am pregnant, which I did 9 months ago. Nothing came from it, GP dismissed it, wrote a letter to St Thomas for referral, but nothing came from it. I delayed getting pregnant...http://www.midwiferyforum.org/Mid-Forum.nsf?OpenDatabase&docId=A3E7576B81533089802576C6004623FA&mainId=A3E7576B81533089802576C6004623FAWed, 10 Feb 2010 12:42:34 +0000JennyWant to become a midwife?(Jenny) Wow, what a great worksheet!
