Thanks for sharing. I can't get to Sydney for it, but I hope they will put some content online at some stage.

I am going to this! I can't wait! Very timely with the recent premier of the Freedom for Birth doco.

I first met Carla at the Homebirth conference in Sydney several years back. She is a darling.

Also happening in Sydney is the "Childbirth and the Law" forum. But how can you have an honest discussion about the issues without the very midwives and mothers currently being affected? I can't get my head around it.

What would be very interesting is to attend BOTH forums and compare. I'd imagine it would be VERY eye-opening.

Booked my ticket! just have to decide on flights and work out transport.

I considered attending both, but think it will be too hard on DS. Hoping he will be happy on the day so i can hear all the talks.

very excited :leap:
