I use a combination of Miranda Castro, Murphy's rep and Mat Med ( I have had some surprisingly nice "results" ) and The Accoucher's emergency manual, by Yingling. " I also use the leaflet with the Helios Birthing Kit, although a good mat med is useful for differentiation.

Now, I am a Birthing Doula, and NOT a midwife. So in the UK, I cannot do any clinical type work. Yingling does cover some of the emergency situations with flat babies, and uses remedies I have not seen in other reps. There is even a brief description of how to get through a placenta preavia to quickly deliver baby (no c/section) without the mother bleeding to death.

I sometimes find that I go through 2 or 3 remedies quite quickly, think they are not helping and then the mother specifically requests a particular remedy.

Hope this helps

Caroline :-)
