Women Today sponsors survey, meeting on births in Huron Huron County women are asking doctors and hospitals where they stand on policies and procedures surrounding the birth of babies. This week, a birthing committee associated with WOMEN TODAY has sent question- naires to all Huron County doctors and all hospitals in and surrounding the county. "We are exploring the op- portunities and options for birthing available to expec- tant parents," said Valerie Bolton, co-ordinator of the self-help and advocacy group for Huron County women. "Our goal is to in- crease the opportunity for women to have the most positive and safe birth possi- ble. We feel this is best facilitated by a well inform- ed expectant mother who is encouraged to take part in -the decisions about the birth of her baby." It wasn't long, -ago -that women were routinely sedated through childbirth, given gas before delivery and fathers were exiled to smokey waiting rooms. Breast feeding was discouraged and the newborn was whisked away from both mother and father for hours after the birth. A lot has been changing in our hospitals that tend toward more family centred maternity care. Fathers are routinely present at births Egmondville 4-H • Egmondvillc- 4-H club met at the home of the leader Barb Caldwell on Tuesday March 29. • Members discussed Med- iterranean, Balkan and Mid- dle Eastern cooking and the foods of the orient.

Mothers are handed their child on the delivery table and many breast feed their infant within minutes of the birth. "We applaud the changes that are being made," said Bolton, "but some of us are frustrated with the slow pace of the change and also with the lack of opportunity women have to com- municate what it is they want." "A woman doesn't want to create waves with a doctor or hospital she will be retur- ning to in a couple of years' time," explained Bolton. "That is why we have chosen to form a committee and talk to doctors and hospitals as a group. We want to diffuse the emotionality that (lairs up when you talk about the issue on a personal basis." "We certainly don't want to get peoples' backs up, we just want the opportunity to discuss the issues and relay our concerns in a non- threatening on- t 'g threa entn way." "A central issue in bir- thing is who should be in con- trol," stated Kathi Wilson, a childbirth educator from the Kirkton area. "We feel the women should direct the birth with the support of her partner and the , profes- sionals at hand. Too often she is expected to hand over Manor colours Easter eggs Residents coloured a num- ber of Easter eggs on Satur- day morning and painted their names on them under the direction of Joanne Ma- loney. Mrs. Gladys Ruston went home for Easter Sunday. Mrs. C. Rumig and Pat and Richard Golbeck visited with Mr. Cornelius Rumig. Miss Mary Lamont visited with Kelly .Lamont and also showed a number of slides Kelly had taken a few years ago to the residents at Sea - forth Manor. her responsibility and par- ticipation when she walks through the hospital's front doors. We must keep in mind that birthing is not an illness, it is a natural process, that in most cases needs no in- terference whatsoever." Kathi Wilson will be the facilitator at a workshop en- titled, "Birthing: Options and Opportunities in Huron County." The .workshop will be discussing what action women can take to be more involved in the decisions con- cerning the birth of their child and discussing recent trends in birthing. "And of course," said Bolton, "we will be'reporting the results of our question- naires to the doctors and the hospitals.': WOMEN TODAY hopes to hear from many different women at this workshop, not just those who have had disturbing experiences, but those who have had joyful, positive experiences as well. There is much women can learn and resolve for themselves by simply talk- ing things out informally with other women. The workshop will be held in Goderich at the McKay Hall on North Street, 'rues - day, April 12 at 7:30 p.m. iFicmiTholl Presbyterian women meet here THE HURON EXPOSITOR, APRIL 6, 1983 — A19 Huron Presbyterian and as he is moderator of the Presbyterial held its annual Huron -Perth Presbytery, he meeting at Seaforth Mar. 26 brought greetings from Pres - when delegates were present bytery. from Goderich W.M.S., Ar- Mrs. Edward spoke on the thur's Circle.
