Curious about homebirth and if it aligns with you?

Hey Gippslanders!! We are having a homebirth meet-up!!

On Saturday 30th November 2024 at 10am, Gippsland families who are interested in homebirth, planning a homebirth, homebirth supporters, or those who have had a homebirth are invited to join us for a gathering of like-minded people ❤️

We are gathering at the beautiful Lamezleighs Coffee House & Eatery in Mirboo North, which has incredible coffee and food, a good play area for the kids, and easy bathroom access!

The local Gippsland homebirth midwives will be around and happy to chat, but the main purpose is for our local homebirth families to connect with each other. A village is what’s needed after all!

Please share this post with your circles and anyone who may be interested. To RSVP please email [email protected]

I highly recommend this powerful film - as a homebirth midwife I am time and time again touched by the tears of joy as couples achieve their healing births at home after a story of birth trauma. We know that up to 45% of women report birth trauma - it is time to tell a different birth narrative.

Showing at Leongatha Cinema September 12th 7:15. Purchase tickets through Demand Films.

Addit: If you missed the deadline it is not too late to make a difference. Homebirth Australia have some templates you can use to write letters to local positions, health ministers and the Australian College of midwives. I would also like you to consider reaching out to the Maternity Consumer Network to campaign for change - Victoria is certainly lacking consumer activity in the maternity space.

Hey peeps!!! If you have never campaigned for something important now is your time. As of June next year due to a solution to homebirth insurance women of moderate to high risk will no longer have the opportunity to choose to birth at home with a midwife. If you have birthed at home with any risk at all or would like to homebirth in the future you have 40 min to complete this survey to have your say and ‘change the world’. Closes 6pm today. Given that 80% of my homebirth clients meet a criteria that would risk them out of homebirth this is a dire situation.

I’m so chuffed to have supported this beautiful undisturbed, upright, breech waterbirth at home - minus all the scare tactics, emergency buzzers, coercion, professional crowding and poorly evidenced position changes- a truly divine moment of time. Anne Doula Service

Thank you all who have responded to this post. We have found some wonderful sources of milk close to this family to access as needed. So lovely to be living in such a wonderful supportive community. Good Morning Peeps. One of my clients has birthed prematurely and is after some breastmilk. Wondering if there is anyone out there that would like to help her out. The baby is in Warragul - family can pick up the milk.
