Belinda and Kim came from the Peninsula; Karen, Helen and Andrea came from the Eastern suburbs; Kim joined in via Skype from Bairnsdale; and we welcomed a midwifery graduate and student who are setting their sights on community practice.<BR/>In reviewing our caseload numbers and outcomes we were able to draw attention to some of the challenges as well as high points in being 'with woman'.<BR/>Case presentations gave opportunities for more in-depth reflection and discussion. We are proud to be midwives, whether the birthing journey proceeds without fuss in the home, or if we accompany women in our care to hospital.<BR/>A recurrent theme in telling our stories is our trust in the processes of normal birth. We don't need sensational stories - although we all have a few! It's the ordinary yet unique story of protecting and promoting normal birth that sustains us in the work, and keeps us renewing our commitment to women and their families.Joy Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16475164378153618715noreply@blogger.com
