I'm hoping someone can help. What are the legalalities (sp) of a homebirth, in Qld (or Cairns to be specific)? Who can I have present with me? Midwife/Doula? Once bub is born, do I HAVE TO go to the hospital?
Cairns doesn't have a birthing suite yet, just the private or public hospitals. I've been to the public hospital here twice to birth my girls, and had a wonderful experience, but if we went for a 3rd, I'd love the idea of a homebirth.
