Fletch I have some great waterbirth books you can borrow if you'd like. I had to order them in from America so I'm pretty sure you won't get them here.

Just let me know.

[BellyBelly]

You can order some brilliant waterbirth DVD's and tapes from the ACE Graphics website, not cheap as they are usually imported (we're a bit behind with this waterbirth stuff in Australia, let alone everything else) but they are great.

[Trish]

Hehe, I have a great video. Not sure it would inspire you though. Hmm really needs a beeper like on Big Brother

Kelly, they do have great videos, you can usually get some from private midwives too. I know that Jan Robinson has a few, I borrowed them, but they are pretty old.

[BellyBelly]

Old as in used? I think if you said that to a private midwife she would probably say that birth hasn't changed - waterbirth is waterbirth But I know what you mean I'm just a birth addict who will watch any birth videos hehehe!!

[Trish]

Lol, both ways kel. Your right, babies still go in the same way and they sure come out the same way I'm the same Kelly, I have watched so many videos and looked at so many pictures. It's a thirst for me that is never quenched.

[BellyBelly]

Do you think you'd work in the birth industry? Or am I slack and haven't realised that you do already?!

[Trish]

Kelly I am at the moment looking to do direct entry midwifery. The only problem is that they don't offer it in NSW. I have been looking at doing Doula training in Sydney too. Still waiting for them to get back to me.

I want to go too but can't! Do you have to be pregnant to go? I am just realising there is no info regarding this... Trish you and I shall chat at a later date

[Trish]

No problem Nell
