Sariah Giblin's pain at leaving sick baby in hospital

THE sense of guilt Sariah Giblin feels at leaving her sick baby alone in hospital all day is almost unbearable.

As she goes about her duties and sits in the crew room at Hungry Jack's, expressing breastmilk on her breaks, all she can think about is little son Wiremu, who was born 15 weeks premature and suffers chronic lung disease.

The reality of a mortgage means she has little choice.

The Penrith mum broke down in tears as she told her story to the Productivity Commission.

Mrs Giblin, 27, returned to work full-time seven weeks after giving birth.

Her husband Luke, a forklift driver who earns $41,000 a year, returned the day after Wiremu was born.

"If I had six months paid maternity leave it would have taken a lot of the stress and burden off us," she said.

Because they can only afford one car, Sariah's day starts at 6am, when she drops Luke off at work.

After work she picks him up, then heads to the neonatal intensive care unit at Nepean Hospital to breastfeed, before returning home to prepare dinner.

She returns to the hospital to breastfeed again, then goes home to express milk.

When her son, who was born 13 weeks ago, goes home she may have to take unpaid annual leave to look after him.

Although Angela Budai's 11-month-old son is healthy, she also feels six months of maternity leave would have been beneficial to her family.

The Roseville mother, 31, considered moving to Canada - her husband's birthplace - because of the generous help working mothers receive.

Mrs Budai took 14 weeks paid maternity leave and, because she had been at her job for eight years and was able to access her long service leave, she also took advantage of that.

Instead of taking 26 weeks off on full pay, she chose to take a year off on half pay.

"I had quite a difficult birth and it took me 13 weeks to recover," she said.

"I don't have any long service leave left and we're doing the maths to work out when we can have another child.

"We are the only OECD country apart from the US that doesn't have a system of paid maternity leave and that doesn't make me proud.

"It's about what sort of society we want to have."

Mrs Budai's husband took one week paternity leave and two weeks annual leave.

"I can't tell you how fantastic that was," she said.

Mrs Budai said, for the first six months she was prone to tears and doesn't know how she would have handled work.

She would like to see six months paid maternity leave instead of the baby bonus and three weeks leave for the non-primary caregiver.

Veronica Black, 33, was able to take two weeks paid maternity leave thanks to an informal relationship with her employer.

After that the Newtown woman returned to her job part time, and either took her son to work with her or worked from home.

She also supports the idea of six months paid leave.

'Infertile' mother with 9 children

Melissa Cunsamy was devastated when doctors told her that years of battling eating disorders meant that she could never have children.

But the former checkout assistant was determined to become a mother - and 12 years later she and husband Mike have nine youngsters, with twins on the way.

You try making nine children pose without someone pulling a face ... Melissa and Mike Cunsamy with their ever-expanding brood

Amazingly, eight of the couple's children were born after Mrs Cunsamy suffered an ectopic pregnancy and had to have a fallopian tube removed.

Between the ages of 19 and 24, she fell victim to bulimia and anorexia, and her weight plummeted to 38kg (6st).

Doctors told Mrs Cunsamy that the rigours her body had been through meant it was unlikely she could get pregnant.

'I was told if I didn't buck my ideas up I would be 6ft under,' said the 36-year-old.

'My chances of having children were very very slim and I was absolutely devastated.'

Two years later she gave birth to her first child, Charlotte, and she and 45-year-old Mike have never looked back.

The full family now comprises Charlotte, ten, Charlene, eight, Dominic, seven, Natalie, six, Jean Pierre, four, Pierre-Laval, three, twins Gabriella and Gabrielle, two, and 18-month-old Antoine.

And the couple are looking forward to the birth of twins in July.

The Cunsamys' giant family squeeze into their three-bed semi in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.

Melissa and her Mauritian-born husband have given up work to look after their ever-expanding brood of children.

Their weekly shopping bill includes six loaves of bread and 48 pints of milk and they drive a minibus for family outings.

Mrs Cunsamy said: 'The kids have their moments, like all brothers and sisters do, but they all get along great and play happily with each other.

'They have learned to share and we are really proud of all of them. We can take them out and they behave impeccably, they are all well mannered and respectful.'

BABIES WITHOUT MOTHER

| World | september 3 2012, 9:10 PM

Motherless orphans and lost children rest at the Don Bosco Ngangi center in Goma, eastern Congo, Thursday. Fighting in Congo intensified in August and has since displaced at least 250,000 people despite the presence of the largest U.N. peacekeeping force in the world. U.N. officials say both the rebels and government troops have committed crimes against civilians.

Children Without A Mother

The Jamido Children’s Home houses about 70 babies, children and young adults. They are all orphans who live there as a family. Irene Willoughby, the nurse who founded the orphanage 40 years ago, died in 1996. Bose Willoughby was the first orphan she took in. Bose is now a teacher, and is in charge of the orphanage. The charitable organisation Nigeria Direkt has been supporting the orphanage since 1996 and pays for the children’s education – from kindergarten through school and further training. This includes apprenticeship fees, school uniforms and learning and teaching materials. Each month, the organisation also buys food for the orphanage.

In 1996 a new facility was built, housing classrooms and dormitories. The school has its own garden. Extensive renovation work has been carried out and new furniture – e.g. beds, tables and benches – has been purchased for the large recreation room.

Since autumn 2004, the orphans charity has been paying for two fishing apprenticeships in the town of Shagamu. Two small shops – a hairdresser’s and a souvenir shop for visitors – have been built in the grounds of the orphanage.

In addition, Nigeria Direkt looks after the island’s schoolchildren at the Iba-Ibeju school and health project. The association pays for repairs to the school and, if necessary, also funds school fees for children whose parents cannot afford them. We have also had school uniforms made.

Once or twice a year the children receive the necessary vaccinations and inoculations. Other health and prophylactic measures are also available.
