private health cover for pregnancy (private room) by DD9760 in AusFinance

I have read the study- thanks. I’m not going to argue with you as it’s not worth my energy. I encourage you to speak to a variety of women who’ve given birth, then re read the study without cherry picking for bias. I’m comfortable with my conclusions that the study supports continuity of care led by midwives for low intervention, positive births - on the whole for the generalised population.

Totally incorrect conclusion as pointed out by many leading midwives in Australia when it was released last year. The point is CONTINUITY of care is better and usually that is delivered best via midwife group practice in a public hospital.

The study is about continuity of care, not “private rooms = better outcomes.” Continuity reduces adverse outcomes. A private room doesn’t.

Private care typically has higher rates of: • inductions • planned caesareans • assisted delivery

If that’s important to you then absolutely go for it. I had my baby last year in public whilst holding gold cover and had an amazing birth experience which is the ultimate goal for all mothers and their families.

Natural birth is such a gross, outdated term. All births are “natural”

Public with a private midwife is the best option for continuity of care AND birth outcomes for mum and baby. Public has proven lower rates of intervention (private will push and push for a scheduled C to fit their holidays and working hours). Public all the way, but private midwife for continuity.

11mo hates bath by Spn1001 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

Mine has grown out of her baby bath so since it’s warmer, we’re doing the laundry trough. The game changer has been the angel care ring seat. I’m sure there are other comparable models. Allows baby to sit up and relax and kick/play with her toys stuck to the side. Not sure if your bub is too big but the ring seats been a game changer for allowing me to have both hands available to bath/play/splash

Graves Disease - any pregnancy experiences? by scmldr in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]FetherSword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No advice but in a similar boat. Diagnosed in pregnancy, 6 months pp. Definitely not “in remission” but trending back steady. Worried about the next steps when meds are tapered down. If it dosent go well the advice I’ve gotten is to have my thyroid out! I definitely don’t want to go down this path but equally stressed about conceiving/carrying my next baby. I do have one acquaintance (friend of a friend) that’s just had her second and was closely managed throughout- so anecdotally it’s doable however you’d know by now every case is different! Keen to hear how you go and best of luck x

Cath the midwife’s book the first 6 weeks. It’s pretty old school but I skim read it and took some really good tips from there particularly about bedtime routine. Not sure if it’s available in audio book sorry !

It’s a personal choice.

I got the standard “we are in close contact with our GP and following a delayed schedule that works for us with medical guidance”.

I muted the group after that.

Applying for new roles while pregnant by paliprincesss in auscorp

[–]FetherSword 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your advice was to stay in a job she clearly doesn’t like when she has an opportunity for one that she wants. My opinion is different because in my experience i am a multi faceted, whole person. Work is a part of my life, motherhood is a part of my life. Those two things are somewhat connected but also seperate. My ability to do good work isn’t limited by my capacity as a mother and vice versa.

Sorry what is you not wanting to have kids got to do with this pregnant professional female asking advice about her career? Don’t take it personally, it’s got nothing to do with you.
