    Ok havent watched it yet as its still downloading ( I have a very slow wireless Grrrrr )

    Anyway I just want to say that I watched the tail end of a show on SBS on thurs or friday afternoon cant remeember which but from what I could gather it was about how different countries give birth... I only got to see the last which was in France ( I think ) where they had Midwives doing most the work and they were saying how important it is to have skin to skin contact straight after birth.... I know at the end of the show they said you could buy the show so I might look it up and let you know what it was called if I can find it that is....

    Will be back after i have watched....

    OK apart from me cry through out this film I would like to say I am so very happy to say that I live in Australia.... I have had 3 hospital births without the uses of drugs... Apart from DS who came out too fast and not breathing so he was taken to go under a oxagen head box for 24 hrs, But my girls were both put straight to my chest where we were left for at the very least 1/2 hr yes the cut the cord after a few mins but baby was never taken from me... they only gave them a quick wipe over once I asked to get up to clean myself up... so while I showered they would wipe and dress my babies.... I would like to think this is how all Australian hospital deliver babies....
