Hi all,

Read below for the article that appeared in the Geelong Advertiser 
on 22/6/06. Hopefully lots more to come

Janine :-)



Focus On Regional Births

Advocates will use a Home Birth Australia conference in Geelong to 
push for improvement of maternity servies in regional Australia.

Up to 360 people will attend forums on July 1 and 2 and hear 
speakers including revered American midwife and author Ina May 
Gaskin.

Organisers hope the Bringing Birth Back Home conference will help 
generate momentum in a campaign against the loss of maternity 
services for women living in rural and remote Australia.

They want acknowledgement of the roles midwives can play in helping 
rural women give birth at home and formal recognition from state and 
federal governments.

Midwives are unable to list as medical providers under Medicare or 
use insurance schemes available to other health professionals.

"The main focus is on bringing birth back home to local 
communities," midwife and conference spokeswoman Tina Pettigrew of 
Geelong said.

"We've had 50 per cent closure of local maternity wards across the 
country in the past 10 years, based on economics rather than on the 
right decisions for women."

Frequency of roadside births had increased as women found themselves 
forced to travel further to medical centres, she said.

Organisers expected 100 people to attend the conference but have 
shifted venues to the Mercure Hotel after an avalanche of 
registrations from across Australia.

Dear Lyn
 
The conference venue is approximately 20 minutes 
walk from the Mercure and dble rooms start at a special conference rate of $139 
per room per night.  The rooms at the Geelong Conference Centre are now 
limited in numbers but are $97 per room per night including breakfast. 
Both venues are very comfortable.  The accommodation co-ordinator for the 
conference is Diana Stubbs and Diana can be emailed at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
Kind Regards

I absolutely loved the Homebirth Conference.  Unfortunately I could only
attend the Saturday session, but it was enough, Ithink.  My pregnant brain
cried at least 5 times, both happy tears and sad tears for the different
speakers and the slides/videos of home water births.  I would love to order
a copy of the CD of the day with all of the info/references to present to my
collegues at work... Can someone tell me where online we can get it from?

Thanks, and thankyou to the organisers and speakers. Truly inspiring stuff.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YET ANOTHER WONDERFUL CONFERENCE."
 
Thank your for the feedback Jo.  We 
know it wasn't perfect and had a few glitches at times, but we all had a good 
time.  Trying to keep things low cost so people can afford to attend, also 
places some restrictions on the outcome,  but as you say, it was energising 
and motivating.  We ALL have to work hard to save community midwfery & 
homebirth as it is teetering on the ege of extinction all over Australia.  
Why is it so important when we have such wonderful hospital services?? it is 
vital to be the standard for "NORMAL".  It has to be there for women's 
choice and the future of woman centred birthing.  It is easy to choose C/S. 
induction. chemical pain relief etc.as it is plentiful and available and 
approved.  Try choosing a bath of warm water, dimmers on the lights and 
privacy to birth undisturbed.  Not so easy to find outside of the home 
environment.  Why is it so important to have undisturbed birth?  Read 
some of Dr Sarah Buckley/Michel Odent's work.  Cheers, MM

   

[ozmidwifery] Homebirth Conference in WA

Hi 
all,
 
Have not long 
returned home from the homebirth conference in WA and just wanted to acknowledge 
those who made the conference such a wonderful, informative and enjoyable 
w/e. It was just what I needed at a time where I was wondering what on earth I 
was doing and came away feeling re-energised and refuelled to continue our fight 
for safe, responsible, affordable homebirth.
 
Having been on the 
organising committee 2 years ago for the Katoomba conference I know what is 
involved and the toll it takes on us and our families to organise such an event 
- so thankyou to all who made it possible for the national homebirth community 
to gather and inspire one another to keep going.
 
It was also lovely 
to finally put faces to names of so many from the west whom I have heard of 
or had email contact with over the years.
 
I've returned home 
feeling a new sense of appreciation for my family and all those who work 
supporting women's choices - amazing how a homebirth conference can make you 
feel all mushy about life!!!
 
THANKYOU AND 
CONGRATULATIONS ON YET ANOTHER WONDERFUL CONFERENCE.
 
Jo

  EARLY BIRD PLACES CLOSE TOMORROW, 30/9/04
  

Mary, I have just today sent off an entry form for myself and 5 work
collegues, so hopefully it will get there by tomorrow for the group and
early bird rate.

Also, I was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas to fix morning
sickness please!!  I feel nauseous all the time - constantly... I
don't actually vomit very often, but all I want to do is stay in bed
and sleep through the nausea, because that is the only time I feel ok. 
I stopped taking my multivitamin yesterday incase it was the iron in it
making me feel so horrid, but I was sicker today than ever, so that's
not it.  I am also taking ginger and vit B6 tablets 8 hourly, which I
thought were working yesterday, but today it seems not.  I don't like
ginger, so ginger ale is out.

I don't want to take anything like Maxalon, as there is nothing in my
stomach for it to empty faster.   I do manage to eat every now and
then, but it's the drinking that's hard, as a mouthful of water makes
me feel very bloated.  I know I just need to sip it constantly.  

I have never felt so horrid in my whole life.  I know when this morning
sickness is over I will be excited about being pregnant, but it's a bit
hard at the moment.

Thanks for listening, everyone :)  If you have any ideas for me, please
let me know :)

Love Jo

23rd National Homebirth Conference
Reclaiming Normal Childbirth- why and how
Oct 30-31 2004.Mandurah, Western Australia

lost in our culture.
At this conference, we share our trust in the natural process and so keep 
this knowledge alive. Our speakers give us the solid scientific evidence that 
supports our belief that normal birth is best for mother and best for baby, 
helping us to grow as mothers and nurturers and inspiring us to empower others 
in normal birth.

Hear! Here!  Jo and Tracey. 
I thoroughly enjoyed the HBA Conference as well. 
There was not one speaker who didn’t motivate me in some way to do a bit more for the homebirth movement.
Congratulations to the new National Coordinator, Jo Hunter and her new committee. 
Watch for national committee news on the new HBA webwsite.

Can I take this opportunity to ask the WA HBA organising committee if next year’s HBA is going to be near to the time of the ACMI Conference, 31st August to 3rd September?  I’d love to be able to attend both if I’m travelling that far. 

My computer has been down with a corrupt e-mail program so am just getting back into the email.
I’d like to take this opportunity to ask any midwife living in NSW who would be willing to contract to do homebirths for NSW Health in their local area to please forward me their details. 

We are getting closer to the homebirth funding (once again, thanks to Justine’s input at our meeting with NSWHealth) I need a list of midwives to cover ALL NSW Area Health Services for the next meeting (later this month).

NSW was first in with a Nurses and Midwives Act ... Now we want to be the first state to offer free  homebirths to women. So midwives who have previously attended homebirths, please register you _expression_ of interest NOW!
Contact me by phone or email if you have further questions about this exciting development.

Yes, I'll second that Jo.  You took the words right out

who is dying from cancer (at home) - I couldn't help but reflect on the 
similarities of birth and death at home.

It's been in NSW for the last 2 years and should 
really be in another state, any Canberra takers? Nat and I have a folder full of 
stuff to help the next organisers along, we started from scratch with no idea of 
how to organise a conference and as you can imagine learnt an awful lot along 
the way - there are also some funds in our account to pass on to the next 
organisers to get them started also.
If you are interested, it really was alot of fun 
and very rewarding!

Hello Sally

Good Question!  Any Takers???

I have a few thoughts, and hope it will be next March, but will have to get onto it very soon!

Would love some help
