Rochelle,
congrats on number two, hope all goes
well.
The
most extensive library I know of is at Coast yoga, which she can join if
attending the pregnacy classes there, Fri night 6.30-8.15, ph Vanessa 8295 2298.
There are so many wonderful books their now, and of course the class sharing and
support is huge as always. The first 2004 Birth Matters coffee morning is on
Thurs Feb 12th, 10am-12, Eastwood Comm Centre, 95 Glen Osmond Rd, next
evening gathering is on Thurs March 25th 7.30pm-9.30pm, same place.
Homebirth contact no is Merridy ph 8391 0548, I believe Helen Taylor is
running their library.
Hope
that helps
cheers
Megan
Hello,
I thought I would put a call out to those on the
list in Adelaide. I have friend who is 8 weeks pregnant first baby and is keen
for information. I have sent her my old copies of Birth Matters Magazine SA
and told her of the coffee mornings, and suggested prenatal yoga, active birth
workshops and that she check out the birth centre at womens and childrens
especially now that the team midwifery has just started there. At 8 weeks she
already has an Ob (female) and had 1 u/s due to some pain and spotting. I am
sensing she is not thrilled with the level of care from Ob, so hopefully
investigates her options further.
I guess what I want to know is if there is a
resource centre or a centralised place to borrow books on pregnancy and
birth and gather information, available to women in the community? Does
the Womens and Children's Hospital offer a library service? I have also
given her a couple of copies of the Homebirth Network SA Mag, and I
believe they have a collection of books for lending? So she will have contact
details for someone from this group.
I will send her a list of good websites and
another friend is buying her Janet Balaskas' "New Active Birth" so that
will be a good start.
Thank You
Rochelle in Perth. Very excitedly
expecting our second baby and first home birth with the Fab Community
Midwifery Program.
