Dear all,

 

As you will likely know, Choices for Childbirth is currently run from Brunswick and South Yarra locations, with a new one starting up in Geelong shortly. For such a long time I hoped they’d return to the eastern suburbs (as they once were in Balwyn). Having gone to a Brunswick session last week, I decided to put it to everyone and see what they thought. So, in the theme of the moment, I have put my hand up to bring Choices ‘back home’ hehehe! The problem is that I need two more members of the MC to assist me in facilitating these sessions so we can go ahead. This will be an additional location and not a replacement, with Balwyn being the perfect spot because I am located only a couple of minutes away!

 

You may think that you are not skilled enough to help, but the fact is that no matter if your experience is having birthed a couple of babies, or that you are a student midwife, Doula or midwife, we need you!!! As long as you are an MC member, nothing else matters! You will not be required to give talks or expert commentary, but your hands and passion is what we need! As an MC member you have a chance to not only empower the 'consumer' out there but also our own members once you have a chance to realise or explore your own potential J (borrowed that bit from Deb – thanks!).

 

Also, if that isn’t up your alley, BaBs needs helpers too - facilitators, midwives and students to get more groups going – email [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you are interested.

 

There are a number of MC branches already set up, but there could be many more, once there is more help with different areas - fundraising, grant writing, committee positions, mail outs, consumer reps for hospitals and health services and reviews, birth stories needing to be told, the list is endless. So even if you feel that you could only help with making cuppa's or telling your birth story, you never know what might be – perhaps you may later find confidence in being a branch leader, part of the national team or end up making a huge difference to women by being the consumer rep at a local hospital. 

 

So, I look forward to your replies – email me and let’s get Balwyn going again! Here’s to lots of women in the east getting some of the best birth preparation there is!!! [EMAIL PROTECTED]
