The latest issue of Women and Birth, the journal of the Australian College of Midwives, contains a paper by midwife academic Hannah Dahlen and two colleagues, M Jackson and J Stevens, titled:
Homebirth, freebirth and doulas: casualty and consequences of a broken maternity system.
This blog was initially set up to support women and midwives through the Australian government's reform of maternity services in 2009-2010. Since 1 July 2010, when the reforms came into effect, a few midwives continue to practise privately, attending women and their babies, providing the full scope of primary maternity care in homes, and enabling women to make informed decisions when and if medical intervention is needed.

First MOTHERBABY group gathering for 2011
We sat around the table thismorning with cups of tea and glasses of water and listened to each other. What a delight it is to welcome a new baby into our world, and today we welcomed three into our little group. Arwen, Matthew, and Scarlett are pictured here with their mothers.
