Re: [ozmidwifery] McLeods Daughters

Tv shows really have an impact. I have already recieved a call from a woman who saw Hot properties, with the woman planning a homebirth.  She rang me desperate, because she had been told by a doctor and two midwives at the RBH in Brisbane that Homebirth was not an available option in Australia. Finding that it is possible to have a homebirth here she jumped on the net and eventually found my our numbers here in Brissy. She is now fairly late in her pregnancy but had her last 3 babies at home in England and Ireland and was devistated to think she must birth her 4th in hospital.  Praise God for good media coverage.  Blessings Dierdre B.
