   Comments: Please keep homebirth with a midwife legal. I just birthed my first baby 4 weeks ago and it was a wonderful and empowering experience of natural birth. I had a few factors which, if id have been in the hospital system, would have ended up as another disempowered woman being put through unnecessary interventions. I plan on having another homebirth with my next child and would really like it if I could have my same midwife, but this will be impossible if she is deregistered, so I will be forced to birth unassisted which is risky!

    Comments: Making home births illegal in Australia is only taking steps backwards for our country. What right does the law have to control a womans right to birth where & how she wants!

    Comments: My six month old son was born at home. We employed a private midwife to be present during the labour and birth and it was a wonderful experience knowing that we were under a watchful eye and someone who had known us and our desires and needs. It was a difficult financial decision to make and we used our Baby Bonus to pay for the privilege of employing our midwife, whilst others who chose to use the hospital system pay minimal costs and use up many more resources. How does that work out! The midwifery model is used successfully in other countries such as New Zealand and the UK. The midwives love their jobs and deserve medical recognition.

    Comments: I am nowhere near ready to start having children, but when I am I would like the choice of a home birth with the help of an independant midwife. It is irresponsible to not allow this option as many women will choose simply not to have a midwife, which in my opinion could be quite dangerous. women deserve choices about what happens to their bodies, rather than being told by the government what will happen when they give birth. I find it appauling that this has even became an issue in our country where women supposedly have rights.

    Comments: How sad that the Australian goverment is removintg a womans choice as to how, where and with whome she gives birth. Shame on you. I will be enjoying my, at this point in time, homebirth during the next few weeks.

    Comments: This is every womans right to have her baby where she feels secure and cared for, not so long ago all babies were born at home, in these times some may well argue this is a safer environment, Midwives are very experienced and will know if and when their patients need hospitalisation..

    Comments: Australian women MUST have the choice to access midwifery care if they wish. Unless this situation is resolved we risk losing this which will be an unacceptable loss to future generations of childbearing women. Wake up to the facts and make miwifery care a REAL option for Australian women. To say that only a small percentage use it is not a reason to deny it - many more women would choose this option if it were available. To support and fund elective surgical birth without question while at the same time denying normal birth with experienced midwives makes no sense at all, either morally or economically
