Hi Rochelle, I wonder whether she would like to be
followed through by a midwifery student? Either way I
can provide support and continuity as well as contact with Birth matters and
the Home birth network regardless of her choiceJ please feel free to give her my contact information. 0438391033 or home 83897887 CHEERS, Julie Garratt (: -----Original
Message----- Hello, I thought I would put a call out to
those on the list in Adelaide. I have friend who is 8 weeks pregnant first baby
and is keen for information. I have sent her my old copies of Birth Matters
Magazine SA and told her of the coffee mornings, and suggested prenatal yoga,
active birth workshops and that she check out the birth centre at womens
and childrens especially now that the team midwifery has just started there. At
8 weeks she already has an Ob (female) and had 1 u/s due to some pain and
spotting. I am sensing she is not thrilled with the level of care from Ob, so
hopefully investigates her options further. I guess what I want to know is if
there is a resource centre or a centralised place to borrow books on pregnancy
and birth and gather information, available to women in the community?
Does the Womens and Children's Hospital offer a library service? I have
also given her a couple of copies of the Homebirth Network SA Mag, and I
believe they have a collection of books for lending? So she will have contact
details for someone from this group. I will send her a list of good
websites and another friend is buying her Janet Balaskas' "New Active
Birth" so that will be a good start. Thank You Rochelle in Perth. Very excitedly
expecting our second baby and first home birth with the Fab Community
