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 don't forget Tania, you run the meet a midwife
sessions at naturescradle in your own time and at no cost to the consumer. When
it gets established this has a great potential for helping women with birth
choices.

Looks like we are all working hard together, in

Hi Di,As far as I'm aware there's nothing like that here (but having just returned after 7 months away I could be wrong!) Anyway, it's a great idea. I've just returned from doing some relief work in the Community Midwifery Practice in Darwin which is in a block opposite a shopping centre.
