Hi Denise, This sounds fantastic. I'd LOVE to do a presentation on 'siblings at homebirth' from a parents perspective and discussing ways to prepare older children etc. as well as give a bit of a wrap about HAS also. Let me know if this could work out. Could you send me some info off list [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that I can add it to the next issue of Birthings - it's going to print at the end of the week so I need it asap. Look forward to seeing your new venue too! love Jo x ----- Original Message ----- From: Denise Love To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2003 6:40 PM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Homebirth Awareness Week Hi Jo,  Birth Central in a new premises at Waterloo is planning to have a day for Homebirth week..........current thoughts are 26th October.......Sunday 10-2...I have a LARGE indoor venue with play area for littlies, space for stalls, and venue for speakers and some entertainment by children planned......Would love anybody who would like to present a 1 hour session to let me know.....So far there is  a Hypnobirthing presentation..............A Doula Presentation..............a Parents presentation, so would love to hear from any midwives who would like to do something, or any other suggestions!   Look forward to hearing from you Denise Love Birth Central  92 9399 5854 Doula Express LifeOptions www.e-lifeoptions.com   ----- Original Message ----- From: jo hunter To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2003 12:18 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Homebirth Awareness Week Hi all, Just a reminder that Homebirth Awareness Week is looming......October 25th - 31st. Should anyone like to organise something to raise awareness of homebirth in their community please go for it. HAS in the past have organised a family picnic with stalls, jumping castle and face painting and lots of media coverage and taken out stalls at local markets. Hunter Homebirth are holding some seminars on the benefits of homebirth. We are thinking of approaching our local libraries and setting up unmanned stalls for the week with flyers, info and photo's. If anyone would like to organise something it can be advertised in 'Birthings' free of charge. I realise that HAS is a Sydney based organisation, however we do have interstate and international members. Happy homebirthing! Jo Hunter
