national homebirth awareness week 25-31 October
G'day Several people have asked me if the midwifery campaign has posters that express the goal of a known midwife and choice of place of birth. We don't, but that shouldn't stop anyone from making up their own. My suggestion is that anyone who has the computer capacity and know-how (or children/friends/partner) should make up posters (A4 pages can be enlarged). The posters should have a simple message such as a quote from a woman as to why she chose to plan homebirth. I chose homebirth because ... Here are a couple of examples: I chose homebirth because I want safety for myself and my baby. I chose homebirth because giving birth is one of the most intimate and important acts I will ever engage in. national homebirth awareness week 25-31 October [insert your local homebirth/maternity group's contact number] If you like this idea, and are able to make up some posters, please consider sharing your ideas via this list. Some people who can't do it for themselves may want to have copies made and posted to them, so you would need to set a fee to cover your costs. Also some might be prepared to share photos. Some of the photos on my website would be suitable, and the women would agree - I'll have to go through them. Not much time to get this organised, but it is do-able.
