Hello again!
I'm saying again because I used to be a member of this list a couple of years ago while doing my Master of Midwifery.�� I unsubscribed due to huge computer problems & because once I qualified I was unable to get work in the maternity area...just as a casual which was few & far between!
�
Anyway,� about me.� I'm Carole Claxton..42years old & a Registered Nurse/Midwife.� For the past year I've been working part-time in a nursing home while being oncall for maternity work at the Base hospital.� As from next week, I do have a 6 month contract for part-time work in Special Care Nursery.� That I'm excited about but also nervous as I feel I have forgotten everything I learnt!
�
I have 4 children,� 1 of whom no longer lives at home & I have recently discovered that I am pregnant,� with what my Mum calls a "whoopsie" baby!� Which leads me to my question!� I have always wanted a homebirth but was always talked out of them previously by my husband (who is not around this time),� and not because of any medical reasons.�� My GP isn't keen on the idea because of my age!!� But I'd still like to consider the option & get as much info as I can.�� So,� is there a homebirth midwife in or near Toowoomba?�� What are the costs involved?� Is my age a negative factor?
�
Thanks for any info you can give me & I look forward to being a part of this list again!
