Re: [ozmidwifery] Birthing options in Albury/Wodonga
Hi Kate, The Wodonga Hospital is the only hospital having births at Albury/Wodonga. I'm not sure what models of care are available, but I think there is a midwive's clinic. There certainly seems to be a very high intervention rate though! Wangaratta has a Community Midwifery Program, which is very good but you have to book very early as they have a limit of numbers per month. It is a very popular program and the woman meets all of the team during the course of her pregnancy and has whoever is on call for the birth. There are also 2 or 3 independant midwives in the Wangaratta/Wodonga area that I know of. Hope this helps your friend.

Her safest option (as ever) is a hb and this is available in A/W. There is a really high rate of c-sec in the local hospitals.

Sorry, yes it is. Not sure if she's a homebirth candidate but will suggest it.
