Recently a committee associated ,with f Women Today sent questionnaires to all Huron County doctors and hospitals in and around the county. "We are exploring the opportunities and options for birthing available to ex- pectant parents," explained Valerie Bolton, coordinator of the self-help and advocacy group for Huron women. "Our goal is to increase the opportunity for women to have the most positive and safest birth possible. We feel this is best facilitated by a well-informed expectant mother who is encouraged to take part in the decisions about the birth of her baby." Not long ago women were routinely sedated through childbirth, given gas before delivery, and fathers were exiled to smoky- waiting rooms, she noted. Breast- feeding was discouraged and the newborn was whisked away from both mother and fatkltp��fl(►�tjeturs-. sE*� birth. A lot has been changing in hospitals thrat tend \ toward more family:centred maternity care. Fathers are routinely present at births and even, in a few cases, have been present at Caesarean deliveries. Mothers are handed their babies on the delivery table and may breastfeed within minutes of the birth. "We applaud the changes that are being made," Mrs. Bolton said, "but some of us are frustrated with the slow pace of the ichang also � p with the lack ofopportunity women have to com- municate what it is they want." She said most doctors expect that women will talk to them in the privacy of their offices about concerns and disappointments over the birth of their child. But all too often women are intimidat l by . their doctors, either because of shyness, lack of the proper technical terms or time constraints. A woman may imagine her doctor is too busy or will be offended by what she has to say. Quite often there is fear or anger about the birth experience a woman may never properly deal with. "A woman doesn't want to create waves with a doctor or hospital She will be returning to in a couple of years' time," Mrs. Bolton explained. "That is why we have chosen to form a committee and talk to doctors and hospitals as a group. "We want to defuse the emotionalism that flairs up when you talk about the issue on a personal basis. We certainly don't want to get people's backs up; we just want the opportunity to discuss the issues and relay our concerns in a non- • threatening way." this is not 'gust a locat issue, she added. Recently the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Ontario issued guidelines to Ontario doctors discouraging them from participating in home births. Safety is the main factor cited in arguing against home birth, but several local women have decided, for a number of reasons, to deliver at home, usually with a midwife present. "Our committee is cer- tainly not advocating that women abandon the hospitals for home births," Mrs. Bolton emphasized. "We are concerned that women have the opportunity to have the security of a safe environment for the birth, without having unwanted technical procedures or drugs forced on them." "A central issue in birth- ing is who should be in control," added Kathi Wilson, a childbirth educator from the Kirkton area. "We feel the woman should direct the birth, with the support of her partner and the professionals at hand. Too often she is expected to hand over her responsibility and participation when she walks through the hospital's front door. "We must keep in mind that birthing is not an ill- ness; it is a natural process that in most cases needs no interference whatsoever." Mrs. Wilson will be con- ducting a workshop entitled "Birthing: Options and Opportunities in Huron County" which will discuss what action women can take to be more involved in the decisions concerning the birth of their children. Women Today hopes to hear from many different women at this workshop, Mrs. Bolton said, not just those who have had disturbing experiences but those who have had joyful, positive experiences too. She said there is much women can learn and resolve for themselves ' simply by talking, things out informally with other women. She added that the results of the questionnaire will be reported to the doctors and hospitals in the county. The workshop will be held at the McKay Hall on North Street, Goderich, April 12 at 7:30 p.m. Its W.
