Amber - Huntly Birthcare is a small unit, and the majority of midwives that practice there seem to have to come from Hamilton? That in itself can be between 20 - 40 mins drive, if not longer, depending on which part of Hams they're coming from. They also usually only do straightforward births, or transfer straight away to Waikato, from what I know.]]> Thu, 04 Oct 2007 16:35:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11140&PID=224018&title=a-midwife-to-avoid#224018 <![CDATA[a midwife to avoid.! : I think it&#039;s fair enough...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11140&PID=224014&title=a-midwife-to-avoid#224014 Author: porcelina

I think it's fair enough she has supervision for 2 years. It usually takes a lot for your registration to be cancelled and everyone is human and makes mistakes. The Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal is usually pretty good at deciding just punishment (no matter how angry the general public may be).

I've seen a baby have seizures, be purply-blue from the torso down and have to have life support switched off after a home birth went wrong (midwife apparently freaked out and didn't commence CPR, the baby didn't get any until the ambulance arrived and therefore had extensive brain and circulation damage). And yet I haven't heard anything about that midwife being punished And people wonder why I don't like the idea of homebirths!

There are always going to be the odd people that discredit midwifery ]]> Thu, 04 Oct 2007 16:27:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11140&PID=224014&title=a-midwife-to-avoid#224014 <![CDATA[a midwife to avoid.! : Thanks for posting that.

Thanks for posting that. At least they published her name so people can avoid her.

There is a midwife in Wgtn that was found to have caused the death of a baby at a home birth because she didn't get help fast enough - but she got name suppression and no-one knows who she is! Apparently she is only allowed to work in a hospital now - but we don't even know which hospital!!]]> Tue, 02 Oct 2007 13:07:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11140&PID=222539&title=a-midwife-to-avoid#222539 <![CDATA[a midwife to avoid.! : It also makes me wonder about...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11140&PID=221994&title=a-midwife-to-avoid#221994 Author: Freesia

It also makes me wonder about Huntly Birthcare. I'm not sure how the Birthcare units work, but wouldn't there have been other midwives there or available? And why did no one else step in? How horrible for the family knowing that the whole thing was probably avoidable.

She totally should have had that woman on a CTG machine or something... Grrrr. I was on CTG's all the time with my last pregnancy because they wanted to check he was ok (I had GD)
That woman certainly shouldnt be allowed to get off scot free! You would be surprised how often these things are done under surpression orders as well! Totally wrong if you ask me!!

I just did a search for her through the Midwifery Council website and it says that she still has a Current Practising Certificate with no conditions attached That article was dated 18 Sept too!

Far out that is so wrong in so many ways. She does not deserve to be a MW anymore.
