Wyong too. Zero epidural (and miniscule transfer rate for same). gorgeous waterbirths. Not yet 1-2-1 but should be available in the next twelve months on the central coast (we think, then again we thought that twelve months ago!)

Justine states: "Bankstown Hospital is an un-sung hero Have a look at the NSW Mother’s and Babies Report. Bankstown has a 4% epidural rate (Go beat that!) They have some wonderful midwives and lovely water births."   Rosebud Hospital must be another unsung hero. ZERO epidural rate, alot of wonderful midwives who run a warm friendly pregnancy clinic & lovely peaceful waterbirths.Plus the Mother Baby Unit for women who are experiencing parenting difficulties,special prenatal care program for young women, in & out patient support services for feeding/sleeping/settling issues and a largely wholistic care approach.   With kind regards Brenda Manning www.themidwife.com.au ----- Original Message ----- From: Justine Caines To: OzMid List Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 9:15 PM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Birth Centres in West NSW? There is a Birth Centre at Blacktown and at Auburn Also one at Bankstown Bankstown Hospital is an un-sung hero Have a look at the NSW Mother’s and Babies Report. Bankstown has a 4% epidural rate (Go beat that!) They have some wonderful midwives and lovely water births.  Jan Robinson  had a client who birthed twins in water there!! (Must say I’m impressed) Why not employ an IPM and Birth at the Birth Centre??  This would ensure continuity but enable the location the woman is comfortable in. E-mail off list for some contacts. JC
