Hi girls, I hope you don't mind me popping in here. I am currently starting to set myself up as a private practice midwife, still very early days, but trying to soak in as much information on homebirths as possible, so would be good to see it from your eyes and what other midwives offer. Please note that I am also keen on my own homebirth and only didn't have one because it isn't an option in my area (no midwives!!) hence my trying to get into the biz so the woman here have more choice. please don't let my being a mw change your chatter or affect it. if it does just let me know and i won't join in =) but like i said, want as much stuff on the topic as possible!! =)

That was lovely, thanks HotI :)
And thank you awesome ladies for all the well wishes and excitement! I can't wait to update when things really kick off!
i am still totally excited for you Ree...and TOTALLY jealous hahahahaha! seriously, the post birth high that comes from having a baby at home is just frikkin' addictive lol.
you are more than welcome in here TT40! the more the merrier and how very very cool that you are going to be a MIPP!! woo hoo! the more the better...have you seen the new report that shows that between 2009 and 2010 HB went up more than 56% in Australia :) we gotta love those stats!
waaaahhhhhh! i keep doubling posting!
I have a new name
Formally em...
Ooh getting so exciting, can't wait to hear your birth story ree*ree.
I have a birth pool, I've had a blessingway, I've had a tonne of pre labour and a few nights where I was certain it was beginning.
I'm practicing patience. Not long now :)
Yep, start practicing your patience now - it doesn't get easier! ;)
Start booking in fun things to do for the next few weeks, seriously! Take your partner or best mate (or child) to the movies, or dinner, or the playground. Get a massage or your toes painted. Have your own pre-mummy moon organised. It gives you things to do, and if plans change you won't mind.
oohhh not long for you either Aimz!!! :dance:
*mwah* baking babies is so wonderful!! many many birth blessings xx

hmmm I am ONLY posting twice in this thread. and it is always asking me if i really want to leave this page?? weird...apologies.
okay, so while i am here might I ask if anyone has had the (dis)pleasure of reading the HB debate in the herald sun today? it was full of the usual derision (apparently all of us that HB outside of the hospital pilot programs only do so because we want to hang off a chandelier with one arm and one leg while birthing....I am NOT kidding. that is what the chick running the HB program out of sunshine actually said :rolleyes:
i was reading it in a cafe and was so angry at all the crap (even though the article for the inarticulate...namely HS readers lol was trying to cast it in a sort of positive light) that that i was going off like a frog in a sock lol..felt sorry (momentarily) for the other patrons at the cafe lol. it was total BS. I mean i totally support the HB programs but do not appreciate the attitude that if you choose not to go through the hospital program it's because you are a radical rogue woman who just wants to show off. stuff that.
and dont even get me started on RANZCOG and the lies that they had to say. arghhhhhhhh!!!!! WHY ON EARTH do they not ask for other expert opinions? WTF would an OB organisation even KNOW about HB??? ARRRGHHHH!
Do you have a link?
I couldn't read it. I'm too ragey right now. I've been in the sunshine HB program and with independent midwives...and guess which time I actually birthed at home :rolleyes:
Well haven't told my midwife yet but hoping to ring her next week. Depending whether I can hold out that long or not. But anyways given my history don't want to get my hopes up too much but better add me to the list. Have no idea when I'm due.
And the obvious shhh on FB lol
