Denise ----- Original Message ----- From: Roslyn Donnellan - Fernandez To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2001 9:07 PM Subject: "Having A Baby" (South Australia) Dear All   The South Australian Department of Human Services officially launched a new health promotion pamphlet last week entitled, "Having A Baby." This pamphlet endorses the option of midwife led care for women and their families, and homebirth in the list of 'places where you may choose to have your baby.' Subheadings include: Who can provide care for me and my baby ? Where can I have my baby ? What is important to me about the birth of my baby ? What are my rights and responsibilities ? How can I find out more ?   The pamphlet encompasses definitions of various providers in pregnancy & childbirth & their roles, explanation re various settings, suggested questions of care providers, and a resource / phone list eg: Australian Breastfeeding Association, Australian College of Midwives Inc / SA, Birth Matters, CARES SA, Homebirth Network, Child & Youth Health, Migrant Health Service, Nunkuwarrin Yunti, Parent Helpline, RACGP, RANZCOG, Womens Information Service. It has been printed in eleven languages, with culturally appropriate modification / illustration. (English, Chinese, Arabic, Bosnian, Serbian, Croation, Kurdish, Vietnamese, Cambodian [Khmer], Persian [Farsi], Turkish)   The initiating vision, tenacity, resiliance & perseverence of the consumers and consumer groups that contributed to seeing this project through to fruition has been an inspiring experience, and an affirmation that those commited to achieving change will effect it collectively.   Copies of this pamphlet can be ordered from: Angela Princi Administration/Project Assistant Strategy & Operations Service Statewide Division Dept of Human Services PO Box 287 Rundle Mall Adelaide SA 5000   Regards Roz Donnellan - Fernandez Self Employed Community Midwife (Adelaide)
