Do you think we should have services for mothers in the first month after giving birth? If so, what type of services, mental health, new family support education, fatherhood support, sleep/take a break spa centre???????

If you had a magic wand and could help prevent or help manage the post natal blues or PND and have a service to the home in the first two weeks for free, by a caring midwife from your hospital whom looked after you in the ward (like they do in France) would you????????

Should we have a state and national Mother and Baby fatality rate toll, like we do for the State and National Road Toll???? To motivate awareness and Government slackiness and pull AMA's head out of the sand????

Should us mother's hold a light for those mother's who need extra support and community love????

These are just some big thoughts I have of late...

I can't believe it is already nearly the end of term 3...my my my how the year flies as first time school parents. It has been one eye opener I can tell you now...I guess now I could be ready for more. It would be good to see how Codi goes at Kung Fu, although lately he hasn't wanted to go...maybe tomorrow? His talking is coming along well and school seems to hav settled down, although we paid money for Kung Fu, and his teacher may not think this will help his speech, but we have already committed to it and Codi loves it...I guess his Show and Tell with his new Kung Fu belt didn't go very well at school..but the one thing that Kung Fu does is channel all his energy, he doesn't get told off for being loud and being a bosterious boy!!! He is learning stranger danger and self defence...and he believes he is a superhero!!! And for someone who's just turned four, I think is fantastic!!!!!
