I was reading from work and couldn't comment but I agree that midwives should be better trained for the less straightforward births.
We have had some tragedies at our local hospital lately, many of which, in hindsight might have had a better outcome....
my dil had an awful experience with dgd and she has been put off having any more.
Now it is my dd turn in a couple of weeks or less and I am dreading it as I had a community midwife deliver my children, one of those with the lace u pdm shoes, lol.
They all used to say that as they retired the skills were dying out as technology was taking over, and not always for the best.
I had a complication with my second, at home and it was made to be a simple problem, instead of a high drama by those ladies.....they were fantastic in an emergency and used their hands far more than machines etc.......I won't go into detail but my son had severe ligature marks for ages but they sorted it in a trice.
Sorry to waffle but its my specialised subject (mastermind), and very dear to my heart. xxx

Like the sound of the community midwives Wendy I had a lovely midwife with dd2 12 years ago. She came out throughout the pregnancy and popped in during the birth even though she was not on shift. All changed now though, much less personal, I still think they do an amazing job and am so thankful for what they did as shoulder dystocia can lead to disability and death for mother and baby in the worst case scenario. I know that they panicked though as they definitely spent a long time pulling ds2s head with the forceps really forcefully, guidance says do not pull on the head once they have established that the shoulders are stuck. They should not have been in the position they were in and should have received better training to deal with such situations. I wonder if things are any better now 6 years on.

I said to dh that I would like to look into it as it could lead to better training if I share my experience and ask what training they get. Would hate to think that babies and mums are being put at risk because no one speaks out. He says leave well alone though as it wouldn't make anything change, maybe he's right but it does niggle me.

Strewth...How's the home ed going....?


Is it this year your daughter has her GCSE's or next.


I'm so interested in the whole concept of it I could ask questions all day on the subject and the whole debate surrounding it....but I wonder in the best possible way how its affecting the whole family....and as I'm typing this I really am willing you to come back and say its all good and is working well!

It's all good and working well LEJC

I got advice from a home ed forum not to let the LEA have any involvement as they try to bully you and make you feel inadequate but I spoke to our local LEA and the lady I spoke to was lovely. I was supposed to write an educational philosophy - what I plan to do and how but in the end invited the LEA officer around to see us instead. She couldnt have been more helpful, told me not to overwork dd2 I was doing 2 hour chunks and she said its too much. In school the teacher will spend 20 minutes out of every hour or so settling the class and going over the subject matter, and then spend time answering questions so they reckon for each hour in school only 20 minutes work gets done. This means during the whole day only 2 hours of actual work is being done :eek: She said that as I am giving dd2 one to one teaching, she is getting much more done and an hours work is very intense so not to work her for more than an hour at a time, dd2 is happy with that rule :rotfl:

I find that she is working through stuff really quickly and understanding more as we clear up any misunderstandings straight away. I also check her work and we correct any errors straight away, no waiting a week for her work to come back with a big red X and no explanation as to what she did wrong.

DD2 is only 11 - 12 in a few weeks so GCSEs some way off. We have discussed maybe taking her maths GCSE some time in 2016 as she can already work through most of a GCSE paper with no trouble. The LEA lady suggested whittling her subjects down to the 5 that she is most interested in so we have gone with maths, english, chemistry, physics and biology. We still do arty things, she goes to a pottery class and does knitting, drawing and sewing using a machine. We also take her swimming for exercise and roller skating. She has started helping me more in the kitchen and around the house as she says she liked cookery class so still wants to learn.

It fits in with us really well, so much less stressful as she is happy and much more confident in herself now. Ds2 know his sister is home educated and doesnt mind still going to school...for now lol.

So sorry for the long post :eek::rotfl:
