I am looking for a friend who went to NZ around 1998. Joady-Ann McLaughlin was her name. She lived in Dawesville Western Australia. Do you know of her or where she is now?

What an amazing interview! Jody is such a knowledgable force for the change in maternal and infant care in our nation. I love the Compleat Mother publication. I work with expectant and postpartum moms everyday and I see the fears and traumas that our nations medical care system’s approach to birth has caused. My work is to help mothers heal from this and become whole again, emotionally and physically. I am so thankful to have resources to turn to like Jody, and Compleat Mother Magazine. Thank you Carrie for this fantastic interview.

Interesting interview. I hadn’t really thought about the routine suctioning practice until now. I understand that if there is meconium stained amniotic fluid, suctioning is done to prevent Meconium Aspiration Syndrome, which makes sense. What about other newborns though? Aren’t all babies suctioned? I’ll ask my midwife about this at my next appointment. Again, very interesting.
