Wyong too. Zero epidural (and miniscule transfer
rate for same). gorgeous waterbirths. Not yet 1-2-1 but should be available in
the next twelve months on the central coast (we think, then again we thought
that twelve months ago!)
Cheers
Blacktown has a birth centre but the doctors won't let
waterbirths happen there.

All the rooms at Nepean have big round tubs (in delivery suite notjust the closed birth centre)and there are water birth protocols so a water birth would be possible if she is prepared to stand up for it or have a doula etc with her. but it is generally very interventionalist ... it is a shame

Dear Anne,
I suggest you try a birth centre from each state as they usually know what
happens around their neck of the woods. In Victoria try Mercy FBC. I think
their email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] or something similiar. I know they opened
in 1990, well after Monash, which has since closed. There
