Re: [ozmidwifery] Updating book
Hi Carol Glad you are doing the update. Your book was always a valuable reference. Will you be adding anything on the homebirth choice? The Australian Society of Independent Midwives IASIM) still exists, although with deploeted numbers due to many of the IPMs dropping out through lack of insurance. Registered midwives are still attending a few hundred homebirths in NSW an we have good evidence that there are aroujnd twice as many unattended and unreported homebirths occuring. Maybe worthwhile keeping abreast of the NSW Health initiative to achieve funded homebirths in NSW. There are working parties meeting on this matter currently and we hope to have some workable solution by the end of this year so that NSW women can choose to plan to birth at home with their own midwife.

Re: [ozmidwifery] Updating book
Dear carol Will there be information on NMAP and all the efforts across the country for universal access to 1-to-1 midwifery and those that a re up or almost so and what is in the pipe line and the intent, actions of MC to get what our kiwi sisters have or near it ??Denise Hynd (CMWA board member & MC actovist or Kiwi Immigrant ) - Original Message - From: Carol Fallows To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2004 9:15 AM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Updating book Hi everyone, I have recently rejoined the list because I have been asked by Random House to update a book I wrote in 1997 when I was the editor of 'Australia's Parents magazine' and 'Pregnancy magazine'. It's titled 'Having a Baby. The essential Australian guide to pregnancy and birth' and I am hoping that some of you will have read it and will be happy to tell me what they thought it lacked and where they think it may be out of date. It's not a total re-write, but I would like to make it as current as possible. Not being the editor of a national magazine on the subject means that I am not as in touch as I would like to be. Any comments, criticisms, help - would be much appreciated, Thanks Carol FallowsFreelance magazine editor & writer63 Wood Street, Manly 2095 AustraliaPh 02-9976 6177; Fax 02-9976 6188www.carolfallows.com.au
