Following the Coroners decision earlier this year to give himself Jurisdiction on a baby who had a PEA after birth with no sign of life, I would like to question his decision. The transcript of his findings were in contradiction to his experts and in my opinion the law. After seeking advice I have applied for a Judicial review. We [...]

Here is the stateline program where they talk about the coroner wanting more powers of investigation.
I am very sad for the loss of the woman in the clip, but I don’t think that she understands that it is very unlikely that they would ever find a reason for her loss, even if the coroner did a post mortem and investigation. [...]

I am finally putting this up here. It’s an interactive talk that took place on international day of the midwife. The title is
Midwife Elite professional or birth servant. The history of registration and regulation is very interesting. Lots of us don’t understand that to put your hand up and go on a register is very different to being regulated in [...]

What a week in the news it has been. Today a deputy coroner decided that a PEA (pulseless electrical activity) is a sign of life. Has he the authority to do this? I haven’t seen the tv news as I don’t own a tv but I understand that there has been many misquotes. It was noted that I said that [...]

I have partly been put off blogging just due to the fact that he has to move all my words to his new baby. The children and now not only childbirth orphans but blog orphans [...]

I needed a rest from the whole situation over the past week or so, instead I got to attend 3 lovely births.
I’ve had these pictures for a while and the woman would like me to share until she can get her mammoth birth story written. Not because this labour was long but the story of getting to this birth spans [...]

Back to birth, this seems like a breeze compared the the rest of political life.
This picture is for my amusement, every time I read it I feel like laughing. Do you think a man made this label?
This client used Hypnotherapy and visualisation to help her though. She also used a technique that I picked up from Gloria Lemay [...]
