    Hi Jodi
    You can have a homebirth in Cairns and if all is normal you do not need to go to the hospital after the birth.
    I will be in Innisfail in a few weeks About 1 hour soothe of Cairns. I have just attended the homebirth of twins in Biloela. Email me if you want to chat.

    Hi Jodi

    Sorry have tried to post a few times and hit some glitches. I was just wondering if you have had any success with organising your homebirth as I wasn't sure when you were due??? I had Judy Chapman in 2005 with my daughter at home but due to some on-going political witchhunts she is currently unavailable at the moment for homebirths. Dagmar I have yet to contact and my next option if she cannot help is to try and have Judy as a caseload midwife up at the Mareeba Midwifery unit. Hope you are successful as it can be very challenging going down this path - often more so for the external obstacles rather than the personal challenges we feel around our choice.

    Much luck to you!
