Whoops just found this. I put a post up in the general section.

EDD sometime in February. Having #4, in an independant birth centre (unattached from hospital, 20 mins to JHH). Love a trainee to help my partner with the handful I am in labour Previous shoulder dystocia, no dr's present but exceptionally trained midwives will be in attendance though and also have the approval of the head of OB in JHH to go to this centre. Will be having a water birth if all goes well, and no drugs. I have back labours and need someone to help with that and help me not lose control of the pain.

See post in main section about looking for student doula in Newcastle for heaps more info.

I'd prefer contact be first made through here, but my email address is collietarantula@yahoo.com

Hope to hear from someone!
