Hi Ben and Brooke

It depends where I suppose you are in FNQ - I am anchored in Cairns so my choices are from this immediate area. I have contacts for a practising homebirth midwife I am booked with and there is a male midwife up on the Tablelands - he is more a straight homebirth I-will-be-there-for-the-birth person rather than a midwife who offers a full pregnancy care service (no insult intended - it just depends what you want). As I said another wonderful, very experienced homebirthing midwife who works between Cairns/Tablelands is currently unavailable until a disciplinary matter is resolved (and currently it is still going). Let me know if you would like more specific info if the area is relevant to you!

Good luck!

Hi Karen thank you so much for getting back to us.
We will be living in the Port Douglas area (but willing to travel to cairns, we are looking for a midwife who can offer pregnancy care. the past two children have been deliverd by myself with a midwife helping me (both in a hospital, without hospital staff). i would feel much more comfortable with a (female) midwife who has deliverd babies before.
You mentioned about an experience midwife who is currently unavailable due to disciplinary action, im not sure but i may be of assistance as iam a constitutional para legal, who has a nack for rebutting quasi legal matters.
my email is: nrg_ben@hotmail.com

Kind Regards,
Ben
