[ozmidwifery] vbac sept 11

[Jo & Dean Bainbridge]

Hi everyone, September 11 is actually the National Caesarean Awareness Day initiated last year by CARES SA.  We encourage anyone out there to do something (anything really) to promote awareness of the issues surrounding cs and vbac.  Last year two conferences were held one in SA and the other in WA; two new cs support groups were formed and there were a number of small activities held by consumers and professionals.  for more info on NCAD, check out the CARES web site http://homepages.picknowl.com.au/caressa   This year CARES is holding a picnic and asking people who have birthed by cs or were perhaps born by cs themselves to personalize a heart.  Hearts will be on display on the day.  We have face painters and a belly dancer who will be conducting teaching sessions (a belly born preforming belly dancing!) If you would like to dedicate a heart, or know someone who might, contact me via email.  If you like you can email the details of what you would like put on the heart and we can do one for you.   CARES SA support coffee morning is being held this Wednesday at 10am in Flagstaff Hill SA.  Please call me on 08 8388 6918 if you would like to attend.  All welcome.  We ask a gold coin donation, tea and coffee supplied.    CARES have also been approached by Adelaide channel 10 to do a story on CARES and the lead up to NCAD late next week. We have Dr Brian Peat talking about consumer groups (positive things of course!!) and a mum talking about the importance about having her choices for a vbac respected.  I am not sure when it goes to air but will let you know!  I have also worded the journo in on the NMAP launch in Adelaide...she seems quite interested!!! cheers loverly ladies!   Jo Bainbridge founding member CARES SA email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: 08 8388 6918 birth with trust, faith & love...
