Thanks, Marina Hi all, I will pass this via a third party as the viruses emmanting from the list come thick and fast after each direct contribution and fill my mailbox with garbage. There is a birth centre at the Royal Women's Hospital; a Community Midwifery Scheme at the mater Mothers Hospital, and a homebirth practice available in Brisbane. Boothville closed years ago. There are also private hospitals in outer suburbs (though not "alternative"). Blessings, Marina "If you want to change the world, begin with changing yourself..." Marina Begolo 2001 Isn't there a birth centre attached to the Royal Women's in Brisbane? Julie Lawson used to be the manager of the unit - don't know if she still is.The Friends of the Birth Centre have a website: http://www.fbc.org.au/main.htm There is also the Home Midwifery Association in Brisbane who may have more info on choices available. Their telephone number is 07 3839 5883 Another source of info may be Childbirth Education Brisbane - tel. 3359 9724. I think also the Boothville Maternity Hospital is staffed by midwives and offers an alternative to the typical obstetrics model.
