RE: [ozmidwifery] Photos of beautifull birthing rooms

Paivi, you might want to ask Andrea Noll, a Hungarian midwife, for photos of her homebirth. You can see them at http://www.nandu.hu/English/Childbirth/chbmain.htm   Vedrana   From: owner-ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au [mailto:owner-ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au] On Behalf Of pinky mckay Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 11:50 PM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Photos of beautifull birthing rooms   Paivi, here are two beauiful birth centres I visited while in New Zealand last year. Any woman is funded to go there with her own midwife.  River-ridge is a beautiful building desgned by a "steiner/ anthroposophical' architect - lovely scultures in small private gardens that can be entered from the rooms and Waterford is more 'corporate'. Both are freestanding/ not attached to hospitals.     http://www.riverridgeeastbc.co.nz/   http://www.waterfordbc.co.nz/waterford/index.php?ctnt=about.php     Best wishes with your project, Pinky ----- Original Message ----- From: Päivi Laukkanen To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 5:17 AM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Photos of beautifull birthing rooms   Wow, It would be more than terrific to get their story in a local magazine. Is there any way you could hook me up with them?   Päivi ----- Original Message ----- From: jesse/jayne To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 12:49 PM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Photos of beautifull birthing rooms   Paivi (sorry, I can't do the accents!)   I am some friends (sisters) from Finland living in Australia that birthed at home - in Australia though.  Isn't that strange?!   Cheers,   Jayne     ----- Original Message ----- From: Päivi Laukkanen To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 9:54 AM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Photos of beautifull birthing rooms   Absolutely! I plan to show hospital rooms, birthing centre rooms and home. Unfortunately the Birthing Centre consept is not even known about in Finland and we only have some 20 homebirths a year.... but I am trying to awaken some interest by showing pictures of something we don't really associate with birth over here...   Päivi ----- Original Message ----- From: jesse/jayne To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 12:09 AM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Photos of beautifull birthing rooms   Can I suggest some pictures of the most mother/baby friendly? That would have to be ~home~ :)   Cheers   Jayne     ----- Original Message ----- From: Päivi Laukkanen To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 8:40 AM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Photos of beautifull birthing rooms   Hi everyone,   I am putting together a photo gallery to display some of the most beautiful birthing rooms in contrast of the most uncomfortable hospital delivery rooms, with some description of where they are from. The photo gallery will be presented in Tampere Finland later this spring. If you work in an environment, where the birthing rooms are really mother friendly and comfortable, or if you know some places where I could contact to get pictures, please contact me. Unfortunately I will not be able to go and take photoes, since I am back here in Finland. It would be great to get some pictures from many different countries.   Paivi Laukkanen Childbirth Educator Finland   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
