There are a few of us around the Byron Bay area who would be happy to assist your relative.
She could pop along to the Byron Bay Pregnancy Support Group which meets every Wednesday at the Community Centre, Jonson Street, Byron Bay.
From 10.15 -11.30 there is bodywork of some description - either yoga or belly dancing or singing or meditation, followed by morning tea and then a discussion from 11.45 - 1.00pm. Cost is $10. She'll meet midwives, doulas .. lots of helpers who support at home and in hospitals.
If the group isn't possible, I suggest she contacts Penny Mason on 02 6687 1625 or Heli Murray on 02 6685 6523.
Hope this helps,
Sue
Goodafternoon,
Hi to everyone, I'm not a midwife, but was hoping that I could seek some information from the list. My name is Julia Sillitoe from Kempsey NSW. I have a relative living in Lennox Head (near Ballina, Byron Bay). She is about 12 weeks pregnant and would like to find out whether there are any midwives working in her area that she could make contact with. She isn't keen on a homebirth, but would like to have someone with whom she can have her Antenatal care and possibly have at the hospital with her. If anyone works in that area, or knows of anyone who does, I would really appreciate some contact details that I could pass on to her. This is her first baby and understandably she is a little nervous about the whole thing.
I thank you for you advice.
Warmest Regards Julia
(who one day dearly wants to be a BMid - if it ever comes to Southern Cross Uni)!!!
