Alphia:
I think these are different insurance companies:
some people have private health insurance that will reimburse for homebirths.
Different beings to public indemnity insurance purchase by the independent
midwives.

Insurance companies covering independent midwives?
Jen,
I was not aware that this was the case - do you
know which private insurance companies do this? I find it surprising
considering that independent midwives are not covered by indemnity
insurance. I am currently finishing a subsection of my thesis on the
indemnity crisis and found your news interesting. If you could help me
out with this I would grealty appreciate it.
Take
care

One to one care
with a midwife she's known throughout pregnancy & birth is her best bet
for successful breast feeding.
Best of luck,

pregnant and fairly recently moved to the blue mountians (Katoomba) She is
unsure of where to birth at the moment and is concidering birthing at
nepean private to make use of her private health insurance. She is hoping
to stay in hospital for about 5 or so days, and at nepean private her
husband can stay with her. She wants to stay in for a few days because she
is nervous about being able to breastfeed and take care of her bub, as she
feels she has not much idea of what she is doing.
- So I sugested to her that maybe a doula could be of great benifit to
her by the way of childbirth info, birthing and post natal care/advice
etc. She is quite interested in talking to some doulas in the
area.
- So, I thought Id try to get together
a list of Doulas in the area to pass on to her. If anyone is interested,
could you please either reply or email me directly with all your details
