Hi Belinda,
I am sitting here with Susanna Houd (from Denmark) and she says that Swedish women would never allow waterbirths to be banned.... it has been a part of the birth scene for years.
South Australia has recently adopted Statewide policy (in consultation with consumers, midwives, doctors, paediatricians) on waterbirths that means that women anywhere in the State can have a water births.
Regards,
Andrea

I had an antenatal class yesterday and when they asked about waterbirth I discussed it along with hospital policy basically letting them know the benefits of it but that there are many practitioners who don't support it etc. One woman in the class said she was from Sweden and that they have recently banned waterbirth? Does anyone know anything about this?? Belinda
