Re: [ozmidwifery] Birth Centres in West NSW?

[Emily]

All the rooms at Nepean have big round tubs (in delivery suite not just the closed birth centre) and there are water birth protocols so a water birth would be possible if she is prepared to stand up for it or have a doula etc with her.

but it is generally very interventionalist ...

it is a shame the birth centre there isnt open because its rooms are really great. very spacious, double beds, water pools, outdoor private courtyards for each room, wooden furniture. when i was there all i was told was that it was closed 'because of politics.'

:(

A question from one of my members:

 

I was wondering if there were any Birthing Centres in the Western Suburbs of NSW....  I know Nepean Hospital had one and closed it down about 2yrs ago due to lack of staff and also i think Campbelltown had one, but thats also closed down L

I cant seem to find any information about it or anything?!?!?! Its really quite frustrating, i want to look into something, like a water birth (but im not prepared to do it at home!) for around my area and cant find a thing! Maybe i should ring a politician or something!? LOL

Can anyone help? Kell, do you have any contacts up this way?

 

I think I need to put together a Birth Centre list! Oh and I love seeing another one on my forum converted (in a nice way of course!) ;) ;) It’s working!!! J
