19.01.2022 Meet the midwife Heidi is a Privately Practicing Endorsed Midwife (PPEM) providing midwifery care across the childbirth continuum for women and their families on the central coast and Newcastle region. Heidi says: "I am a mother to my beautiful daughter Rosie who came earthside at home in 2012. I have a diploma in remedial massage, Master of Midwifery and I am currently a PhD student studying acupuncture for malposition during labour and birth. I am passionate about supp...orting women who choose to birth in their own home, where they feel safe and supported. Collaborating with women during the perinatal period, I strive to provide continuity, respect a woman’s choice, share knowledge, build trust, communicate transparently and believe in the woman’s body to birth her baby where she chooses." You can find Heidi through the directory on our website or at http://www.centralcoasthomebirth.com/

Providing evidence based care. Listening to our consumers. Well, we are not being heard. It's time to get loud.

What we need! Please, watch, comment, share and sign. We need your help. The time to make our needs known has come. More options. NO obstetric violence. Continuity of care with a known midwife. Bundled funding. NO birth trauma. Respectful evidence based care. Removal of restrcitions on our Privately Practicing Midwives. The reinstatement of a basic human right.

16.01.2022 Honouring our birthkeepers

16.01.2022 Rescheduled to this Friday! Yay! Hope you can join us!

15.01.2022 Book review This time from Virginia Maddock from Natural Beginnings - Holistic Health, Doula and Placenta Services - find it on our online shop and members remember you get a lovely lil discount as well Mama, Talk About When Max Was Born is a children’s book released in 2011 to prepare kids for the homebirth of their younger sibling. In the story, the mother explains to the little girl all the steps leading up to the birth of her little brother Max, including findin...g out about the pregnancy, what happens during antenatal checks with the midwives, meeting the doula, preparing for the birth, filling and getting into the pool when ‘Mama’ goes into labour, the birth and the first hours immediately after. It is written in the USA so there are some minor differences such as referring to Mommy instead of Mummy, and for those whose midwife comes to their home for antenatal checks, the woman in the book visits her midwife at a clinic instead. The little girl in the book goes with her Nana before the baby is born and comes back soon after, which may not be in everyone’s plan, but this is just one person’s personal story afterall, and the mother fills her in on all the birth details! I love that the style of narrative is the true account by the mother to her child, just like you would be telling your own child. What makes this book more endearing is the great illustrations that are colourful and yet not too cartoon-like as to make it unrealistic. The day that I received this book back in 2011, I read it to my son Jetsun who was 2yo at the time, and I was pleasantly surprised that he was interested enough to actually sit through me telling it from beginning to end, twice in a row - his attention span would usually have prohibited me reading anything longer than a baby book before he would close the book and get something else!
