When having a baby do you want to make choices about your health care?
New reforms introduced by the Rudd Government were meant to increase support to women, giving them the option of choosing a midwife to care for them.
Many women have said they would love this care, especially because the care would come from 1 midwife from early pregnancy, through labour and birth and up to 6 weeks after the birth. The best part being, many midwives provide home visits! Pure Luxury.
Many Mums think this care is long overdue!
Enter the problem! The Australian Medical Association has decided that women will only be able to choose midwifery care if a Doctor agrees. This means if a doctor is not prepared to support the local midwives, then women will not have access to care.
We believe while women may seek advice and support from their doctor that ultimately they have the right to make decisions about their bodies.
There are events running in every State so spread the word!
This is for EVERY WOMEN (and their families and friends) and EVERY CHOICE, please forward this on to every person you know who supports the right to choose!
