Birth Notes
Writing about pregnancy, birth and midwifery care, plainly and direct.
Practical guides, honest reviews of the research, and answers to the questions I get asked most in clinic. VBAC, homebirth, induction, postpartum recovery, and the choices that come with each one.
Every so often something more reflective finds its way in here too, when birth asks for a different kind of writing. For more of that, I write Hysterix.
So, Where Are You Having This Baby?
Nobody hands you a map when you fall pregnant. You get a GP referral and a hospital name, and everyone assumes you already know what MGP or MAPS means. This is the map. Search every public and private maternity hospital in NSW by location or by the kind of care you're after, in language that actually explains itself.
