Re: [ozmidwifery] waterbirth
Hi Amy Sorry I missed your email and found it today. Yes Selangor welcomes students. Unfortunately most come for their 'alternative' birth experience - this is very telling, don't you think?

It seems a great place to learn the skills.

Our rate is 35% of vaginal births and over 1600 babies have been waterborn since we opened. We will continue to do so as it has benefits for women, their babies and is safe.

Do we have any maternity units, birth centres etc who officially do waterbirth? I know homebirthers do, but I want to know about institutions. Thanks, MM

See you there if you're coming. Love, Julie From: Katherine Cunningham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello ALL you wonderful people! Ok, many of you know how much I love theatre, and supporting the natural process of Birth! Well who would have thought that I would be able to do both at the same time! http://www.birththeplay.com/bold/bold.html This site is all about a beautiful play called, BIRTH:The play! It's a collection of over a hundred stories distilled into 7 birth stories, all performed on stage. They are VERY powerfull leaving nothing out, only one is home birth, two are c-sections, 3 have epidurals, one is a natural birth in hostipal. There are the 7 women core characters, but I would like also to put one or two men on stage to represent those male roles, partners and obstertricians... it is VERY real! Which means it's funny, it's sad, it's really really wrong and will make you angry, and there are moments of complete BLISS and awesome power! OK, next... we have our first meet up on the 24th of Feb, Saturday. 11am start, meet and greet, go over what we have, what we would like to do, how far and deep we want to go. Do we also want to run a Red Tent here and create a version of this play that gives an Australian veiw of the brithing practices. Do we want to create a whole cultrual event with art exhibitions and other powerful birth films. Connect it to the Birth week up here in Kallista (if you're doing it again Bhava???) See what the other women's organizations are doing over the year to connect to. I also wanted to introduce to those that don't know it yet, the BABS group too. Then we'll break for some shared lunch (bring a plate of lush shareable food) chat amongst ourselves, and then come back and set some next time/dates to see where we want to go... from there! DATE: 24th of February VENUE: 8 Bartley Road Belgrave South TIME: 11 am - 3pm BRING: plate to share and your diary. Perhaps fold out chair/cushion. CONTACT: 9754 1416 0409953518 Katherine. Please feel free to bring the children if you need to, there is a lockable back yard, and I will put the dog away for the session. Also PASS THIS ON to any one that would like to be a part of this wonderful work, backstage, on stage, or creating the ... all the rest that could take place! Let me know if you're coming, and PASS IT ON!
