Hi Mermaid,

Welcome to BellyBelly and congratulations on your pregnancy!!
I unfortunately haven't looked into a doula/private midwife in Cairns YET, as I'm not pregnant. But what I can tell you, is that Cairns Base is a fantastic hospital to birth in. And yes, they do have the option of having a water birth. Have you been for a tour yet? Have you seen any dr's there yet?

Let us know how you get on.
