Just chiming in, we have three very active
consumer based birth support/education groups here in Adelaide, CARES, the
caesarean support group, Birth Matters SA, a more generic info group where
women gather and talk about where to get good information, and how to get a
good/better birth, and the Homebirth Network of SA, which has been clocking
over 40 women a month at our regular coffee mornings! Not bad for a group that
only 3 years ago had two or three women turning up… there are small but
significant communities out there, and yes, there does need to be more of a
commercial feel about some of it. Unfortunately we live in a time where many
people think that the more you pay for something, the more it is worth. Hence
a few of our information nights such as a waterbirth info night, attracted a
lot more interest when we advertised it as $15 per couple, than when we held
Birth Choices nights for free…that’s just how it is, and if you can
charge for something, and then plough the profits back into more advertising in
the mainstream, or into your library or newsletters etc, then that’s
great. Also agree with Barb, the Tania -- -- |
