homebirth general discussion #9

Ugh. Found out that in California it is illegal for a MW to attend a breech or twins HB! Illegal. So the chances of even finding an unregistered MW who has experience in either of them is slim too. I hate how this "high risk" bull**** puts mothers and babies at risk because then our choices are freebirth or hospital birth, both of which I consider riskier for the majority of "high risk" births!

Anyone know any MWs around Sydney or Melbourne who will attend a breech or twins HB?

Sorry - can't help you out too much there Meow...

So, it's a "super moon" this weekend - an unusually large, full moon. Sounds promising! By the way - are the moon phases the same here in Canada as they are in Aus? Pardon my astronomical ignorance...

Thanks Hoti! Good to know- I haven't looked into twin friendly IMs before (Not that I'm hoping for twins but it's one of those things I'd like to know would be covered if it happened IYKWIM).

Yep- moon phases are the same the whole world over. It's just the moon is "upside down" for those in the southern hemisphere. Here's hoping for some supermoon babies!!!
