Home Birth Australia

In Australia many women opt to have their babies at home rather than go to a hospital. This has become a serious problem to expectant mothers. Over the past year the numbers for midwives have dropped 65 percent. This drop has cause the some expectant mothers to have their babies at home while others are being forced to go hospitals. Due to the drop in midwive the federal government has stepped in and implemented polices that could possible force expectantg mother into hiding to have their babies at home. If these laws come into effect many feel the outcome would not be good and woman would go into hiding to have their babies deliveded at home.

  1. I believe the choice should be up to the mother's and fathers of what their birthing options are going to be. If they feel comfortable at home and believe that's the best option for them and their baby; the government should not step in and intervene. Rosemary Do you believe the women should be forced to go into the hospitals to have their babies?
