Fertility clinic offers 2 for 1 deal! By Dr Vince Chapple (Medical Director) at Fertility North, Fertility Specialist at Fertility Great Southern his is an example of the kind of advertisement that you will not see from an Australian Fertility Clinic. Infertility care is very heavily regulated in Australia under the auspices of the Reproductive Technology Accreditation Committee (RTAC) and the Reproductive Technology Council (RTC), the latter reporting to the Western Australian Government.
T
Clinics are obliged to have policies in place to “minimise the incidence of multiple pregnancy”. This is one reason why your fertility specialist may refuse to allow you to transfer two embryos instead of one as part of an IVF treatment. Interestingly, prospective parents often see twins as something like the title of this article suggests, a very favourable outcome, with 25% still preferring a twin pregnancy despite active education highlighting the risks. Even with this patient preference, Australia has pioneered the worldwide movement towards single embryo transfer (SET), with more than 65% of embryo transfers being single, leading to the lowest IVF-related twin birth rate in the world (8.8%). This is comparable only with Sweden, and contrasts starkly with that of the USA (2.8% SET and 30% twin rate) and UK
(10% SET and 20% twin rate). The SET policy was introduced to avoid the situation that is seen in these countries where fertility treatment is less regulated, and three or four embryos may be transferred as part of IVF treatments. This is partly driven by a desire to maximise the chance of pregnancy for a single treatment, as an entire family might be contributing to its cost, and can only afford one treatment cycle. In Australia this scenario is less common, as treatment is generously co-funded through the Medicare safety-net, making it affordable for many more. Multiple pregnancy takes a high toll on mothers, babies and the community. It increases the risk of all pregnancy related complications, operative deliveries and premature births, with associated health problems for surviving children and increased obstetric costs. So although a joy once safely delivered, from a medical perspective multiple pregnancy is regarded as the most common adverse outcome of IVF rather than a good deal.

Separation – Property and Children: How Best to Manage It f you separate from your partner, and you have children together, you both have a continuing responsibility for the care of your children. So, what are the options when it comes to working out the care arrangements for the children?
I
Initially, you will both be encouraged to attend mediation to discuss your options. The arrangements may include who the children live with, when they see the other parent, other contact (such as phone calls), arrangements for special events, schooling, religion and medical care. If you are able to reach agreement on the arrangements at mediation, you may be encouraged by the mediator to draft and sign a Parenting Plan. However, a parenting plan by itself is not enforceable if one party chooses to ignore it. As solicitors dealing with such matters, Kott Gunning Lawyers encourages parties to reach agreement but they strongly
recommend formalising any agreement by filing an “Application for Consent Orders” with the Family Court of Western Australia. This does not require you or your lawyer to attend court. It simply needs to be filed at the Family Court and, assuming it is in the best interests of the children, the court will make your agreement legally binding and enforceable. Similarly, if you and your partner reach agreement on the division of your property, you can also include this in your application. Where you are negotiating your own settlement, it is recommended that you both seek legal advice on your rights and entitlements to ensure that the agreement is fair, taking into account all of the circumstances and relevant factors. For more information contact Loretta Care, Alison Brooks or Kristy Vukovic on 9321 3755 or visit www.kottgunn.com.au

It’s a child development program pioneered in Malaysia in 1993. Today they have over 5000 centres in more than 49 countries worldwide including Canada, USA, UK, Spain, India, China, Australia and the Middle East. Children are becoming extremely dependent on technology. It’s a matter of great concern that they rely on calculators for performing basic calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. UCMAS advocates that every child has the potential to learn how to do quick and accurate calculations. They foster children’s
ability to independently perform mental calculations in their head. The system promotes whole brain development using the Abacus as a tool and mental maths as a medium. The program consists of ten levels that are each approximately 3 to 4 months in duration. UCMAS is a well organised and planned approach that helps the learners take baby steps towards a bright and scintillating future.

One of the biggest misconceptions about enrolling children and teenagers in martial arts is that the kids become aggressive and, therefore, a likely bully.
Bullies thrive on attacking (physically or emotionally) people they see as weak. Kids who are bullied often have (generally as a result of the bullying) low confidence levels, inability to concentrate on school work, lack of focus and high stress levels which make

Development strategies for your child

o you feel your child is not meeting their full potential when it comes to academic achievement? Parents often report difficulties with their child’s attention, concentration, expressive language tasks, reading comprehension and working memory tasks.
What suits your family? Parenting plans or consent orders?
D
Sometimes difficulties are displayed in a variety of settings such as at home, in school and in the community. You may have noticed them early in your child’s development or they may have developed more recently, possibly around the same time as stressful events such as bullying, parental divorce or trauma. Assessment and early intervention are crucial in identifying various strategies to support your child, including organisation
eparation is difficult, stressful and overwhelming for those involved, but what happens next for your children? Decisions will need to be made about their care arrangements.
S
skills, classroom accommodations, emotional regulation skills and information for parents. These strategies are designed to allow your child to demonstrate their true ability which in turn improves their self-concept and relationships with others. To book an appointment contact Nicole Fresle on 0430 065 491, email nicole.fresle@hotmail.com or visit www.psychologicalserviceswa.com.au Located at Suite 11, Level 2, 166 Brighton Road, Scarborough.
Hypnosis help for Adults and Kids • Lose weight • Stop smoking • Overcome anxiety & phobias • Reduce stress • Children bed wetting
Two options are available where parents can agree about care arrangements for their children. These are Parenting Plans and Consent Orders. Parenting Plans are written agreements made between the parents. They are not Court orders and therefore aren’t enforceable through the Court if one parent contravenes the Plan.
These orders are enforceable therefore enabling a parent to seek recourse from the Family Court where the other parent has contravened an order.
If Court orders are preferred, then Consent Orders are for you. They must be lodged with the Family Court for orders to be made.
For more information about the two options, please contact one of the Family lawyers at Summers Legal on 9420 8222.

Chiropractic solutions for colic
They have an extensive lending library and provides midwifery advice to pregnant women and their partners wherever they are having their baby. TheBumpWA offers support for the early days of parenting with low cost lactation consultation when you are getting breastfeeding established, and Mother Nurture groups for when you are struggling with the demands of early parenting.
olic is a modern medicine enigma. Yet ask any seasoned parent what to expect from colic and they will indulge you with tales of sleepless nights and endless home remedies tried with varying success. To the parent, colic represents a constantly irritable baby, usually beginning during the first two to three weeks following birth and continuing up to three months of age and beyond.

In partnership with WA Health, TheBumpWA delivers the Community Midwifery Program, a maternity service for Perth women experiencing a low risk pregnancy birthing at home. These pregnancy classes and early parenting
Speculation on the cause of colic includes gas, lactose intolerance, other food allergies, constipation and temperature to name but a few. The reality being that nobody is absolutely certain what causes colic. Chiropractic adjustments to correct vertebral subluxations (nerve interference) in babies has long been acknowledged as an excellent therapeutic tool for the calming of infants. Recent studies have confirmed what has been known by chiropractors for a very long time – with colic, Chiropractic works!

A 1999 Danish study compared two groups of babies. One group utilising chiropractic adjustments only, found that after twelve days, crying had reduced 67% at an average of 2.7 hours per day. The other group of babies who were treated using dimethicone drops (the current mainstream medical treatment of choice) improved only 38% at an average of one hour per day.
Chiropractic adjustments can differ greatly from the adult to their newborn. The infant adjustments are very gentle, the baby often will not even know they have been adjusted. Chiropractors might even choose to gently massage the stomach or back of the baby to get rid of any gas or bloating. Your chiropractor is the only professional properly qualified to diagnose and treat your baby’s subluxation.

Shield to help keep your shower clean for up to six weeks.
Salt therapy helps to clean out and relieve symptoms of respiratory conditions in a non-invasive way by inhaling dry salt air, which widens the airways of the respiratory tract and loosens up mucus, helping to reduce inflammation, congestions and allergies of the airways. By cleaning the airways of mucus and relieving symptoms means medication can become more effective, resulting in better management. Sessions go for 45 minutes, all
you have to do is sit back relax and just breathe, it’s that simple! Visit the salt rooms in Victoria Park that mimic the salt caves. It’s a relaxing natural therapy and memberships are available. Call in to Salts of the Earth at 592 Albany Hwy in Victoria Park, phone 6161 7488 or visit www.saltsoftheearth.com.au for more information.
