Have enjoyed reading lots peoples different blogs, so thought it was time that I started my own blog. I've had a interesting year. Back in February I sold my business Aussie Scrapbooking Studio - that I spent three years building. It was both as sad and happy occasion. Sad as Aussie Scrapbooking Studio was my baby, but happy as it is now time to move on. I've had a lovely time spending time fixing up my house (that was quite neglected) and spending time with my children.
I am now considering my future. I am a midwife by profession and I am keen to start practicing midwifery again. I am currently working on my website www.pregnancy.com.au and planning the different services I am going to offer. I have practiced in the past as an independent midwife attending births at home, hospital and birth centres. More on this later. Well that's it from me at the moment my children are getting a little physical with each other in their play - better go and do some negotiating.
About Me
- aussiemidwife
- Sydney, NSW, Australia
- In 1989 the birth of my first child was the start of my passion for pregnancy, birthing and babies. Initially I campaigned for improvement in maternity services as a consumer and became a childbirth educator running prenatal classes in the community. In 1991 I commenced studying at university completing a degree in nursing and followed by a graduate diploma in midwifery. I founded my business Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond in 1992. Registering as a midwife in 1997, I began working on a team midwifery program in a tertiary hospital and moved into private midwifery practice in 1999. Today, primarily, I support women birthing at home. I am passionate about midwives moving away from the hospital system and commencing private practice. It is through private midwifery practice that women will truly have continuity of care and real options for birth open to them. Part of my work now is supporting midwives taking the step into private practice. I also continue to be politically active lobbying for the rights of pregnant women and their families. I've dedicated my life to supporting families, as they move through the childbearing year.
