What can be done to change the system?

[Macca79]

After reading some of the recent threads and reflecting on my own negative c section experience I would love to know what can be done on a personal level to bring about a positive change when it comes to birthing. Living in Darwin there is pretty much stuff all when it comes to birth choice and almost next to nothing in birth education outside a few hospital run pre-birth classes. I would love any suggestions on how to set up a group/education class etc that would provide choice for women in the north. What have you done/know others have done?

I was one of six girls (all friends) who had our children within 2 weeks of each other. All 6 of us had emergency c sections and failed to breastfeed beyond 3 months. We were all told there were 'complications' with our births, we were all told we 'needed' to be induced and we all had issues with breastfeeding. The sad part is we all though we had educated ourselves pretty well but with hind sight we knew nothing really.
