Title: Message Justine, I agree with you on what you have put here. I'd love to be able to attend healthy women which most are but even healthy women can run into difficulties. It is then a 'good' midwife who would consult and refer with the woman's best interests in mind. An adverse

Congratulations on your birth. Enjoy your infant, they grow up too fast. One of the organisers of Woodford's festival wife is a supporter of NMAP and she is a pollie (and so was he at one stage) so good luck for Woodford. It is a magical festival. Keep up BAG - there is a need for the group.
