Hello all, My beautiful 20 year old sister has found out that she is (unexpectedly)
pregnant and has little support from her (ex) partner. She lives in the Eastern
suburbs of Melbourne – Boronia way – and I would like to direct her
to some more gentler, supportive birth options near her – she wants to be
close to home but I don’t know any that would be great – ideas please!!!
Any shared care GP’s would be great, hospital
suggestions (have suggested a birth centre) etc. but she is young and
frightened. While she’ll have my support all the way as a birth
attendant, I think she’s going to need a gentle hospital environment
around her if possible. She’s only just found out so I have plenty of
time to encourage her to read the right books and empower herself with
knowledge, but a good start with a good carer and hospital down her way will be
a great help. She’s not open to homebirth, which is okay, the most
important thing is that she births where she feels safe. Possibly may go
private, she has private cover but will have to watch her money on one income. Best
Regards, |
