Thanks Di, She has now decided this is the best option. So...how can she go about finding a midwife that can help her??? Its exactly the sort of thing I'd love to do, if I was a midwife! Would it be ok to post her email address in case any was interested? And thanks Sharon, I didnt get your post the first time, so was good to read and I will pass it on to her.

Why not have some midwives go to Malaysia for a homebirth for her? She could have her local hospital for backup and not have to remove herself from her family and friends. It may even be more affordable, anyone up for a months holiday in Malaysia?

I know that the mid group practice at wch is offering water birth and there are also some independent prac midwifes who offer water birth in south Australia in the home. The woman would have to pay for all services naturally as she is not Australian and therefore covered by medicare what if she approached the practiconer independently and asked them.

If she is married to a Malaysian man, this is less likely than if married to a Caucasian.

I would like to find out,is there such waterbirth laws in New Zealand also or only in SA? Is there any midwives services in New Zealand also? I'm actually a Malaysian,but i really want to have my child in Australia or New Zealand and not in Malaysia because my husband and i are very interested and really want to have an aqua baby due to all the benefits that waterbirth has and this service is not available here in Malaysia. I would really like to know how can i deliver our baby over there and how is the government's policy to go there and have a baby? Is it possible because we really want a waterbirth. Please do reply soon. Thank you very much for your cooperation. Regards, Jashpreet Kaur       No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
