I had my daughter at the Canberra Birthing Centre which is run by midwives and it is brilliant! The midwives were sensational and I was so pleased with my experience. I had a great labour but unfortunately I had a retained placenta so had to have manual extraction and ended up having a stay in the hospital (attached to the centre) which I really did not enjoy. Go the midwifery programs, we need more of them! The waiting list to get into the Canberra one is crazy!
