FYI -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of janine Sent: Sunday, 25 June 2006 11:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [2006hbaconf] Media article 22/6/06 Geelong Advertiser 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. :-) Yahoo!

[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 theconference 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 thewest 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 Hunter

Jo wrote:"THANKYOU AND 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
Re: [ozmidwifery] Homebirth Conference in WA
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. Love Jo -- Babies are Born... Pizzas are Delivered. -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.

Mary Murphy wrote: 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 -- Babies are Born... Pizzas are Delivered.

Re: [ozmidwifery] homebirth conference
Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] homebirth conference Hear! Here! Jo and Tracey. I thoroughly enjoyed the HBA Conference as well. There was not one speaker who didnt 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 years HBA is going to be near to the time of the ACMI Conference, 31st August to 3rd September? Id love to be able to attend both if Im travelling that far. My computer has been down with a corrupt e-mail program so am just getting back into the email. Id 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 Justines 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.

Re: [ozmidwifery] homebirth conference
Yes, I'll second that Jo. You took the words right out of my mouth! After the conference I spent a couple of days with a friend 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!
