Scarf Techniques.

hamc1_21 — 2022-01-26 01:29:52 UTC

Please DISCUSS WITH YOUR MIDWIFE before using any of the techniques shown here.

Also - Although Midwife Jude refers to these techniques as 'Rebozo' techniques I would encourage simply using the word scarf, or cloth. Rebozo cloths have cultural & spiritual significance to the Mexican people. A "torn up hospital sheet" is NOT a Rebozo, but it might offer you relief and support if used carefully and sensitively.

Inducing labour - NHS

hamc1_21 — 2022-07-19 10:21:31 UTC

This book (by Sara Wickham) is definitely worth a read if you find yourself facing the decision whether to be induced - or not.

hamc1_21 — 2022-07-19 10:33:46 UTC

"Inducing Labour: making informed decisions explains the process of induction of labour and shares information from research studies, debates and women’s, midwives’ and doctors’ experiences to help women and families become more informed and make the decision that is right for them."

Another Dr Sarah Wickham recommendation - perhaps a bit more 'technical' and meaty than 'Inducing Labour'

hamc1_21 — 2022-07-19 10:43:16 UTC

"In this book, Dr Sara Wickham demystifies the evidence and highlights the significant discrepancies between guidelines and what we really know about the benefits of supporting women to birth spontaneously. With her renowned ability to make complex issues understandable, her holistic approach and more than twenty-five years’ experience as a midwife and researcher, Dr Wickham draws on a wide range of evidence, including the voices of women and practitioners, to answer vital questions such as: How accurate are due dates? Is it really that risky to wait? Does induction make a difference? And, perhaps most importantly, what can we do about this situation?"
