Lighting The Way To Better Birth

The modern maternity care system is in disarray... with overservicing, high intervention, and high cost.
Midwives, working alongside the women they serve, will light the way to better birth.

If Mumma Ain't happy then Nobody Happy!
Well Done! Such an important issue that truely affects every Australian; birth! As a mum of three who has had many discussions with other mums about their birthing experience it is all too clear that when a good midwife (meaning supported in her profession and not under-staffed!) is present the woman is more likely to have a positive birth experience. I really believe that many cases of post natal depression could be avoided if the woman is empowered during this first step on her journey toward motherhood. And everyone knows that "if Mumma ain't happy then nobody happy!" We really need to do this for families!
