Dear Andrea
Have these BBA births in Vic increased since the loss of MIPP insurance
and some midwives withdrawing from practice??
Jan Robinson said there was an increased in these births there possibly some
more un assisted hombirths in NSW over this period!!
She found this by comparing the midwife and birth notification figures
because the latter would include women who birthed at home and did not go to
hospital

Just out of interest Andrea, what is the number of bba's in comparison?
Someone recently pointed out to me that if the women here in SA who had a
quick labour and then didn't make it to the hospital, had had access to a
midwife who could have come to their home, the number of 'homebirths'
would
have been nearly doubled. Funny how those women are seen as 'lucky' and
yet
the one's planning a birth at home attended by a midwife are 'stupid'!

I received my 2004 homebirths profile from VPDCU in the mail today and
was happy to see that the number of planned homebirths for 2004 was
181 up from 154 the year before and from 132 in 1999 so keep up the
good work everyone
