A warm welcome to my new blog and big thank you to my amazing computer genius for his months of hard work in reproducing this blog in it’s entirety. Please click all the buttons and enjoy.
Down to business. The government for some mysterious reason removed the page that I linked to explaining the new insurance guidelines for midwives. I wonder if someone told them we had seen it. I’m left thinking that were we not supposed to find it. There was a pdf to accompany the page which was a leaflet of explanation for midwives and the public. Luckily for all I downloaded it. There were others too but this is of special interest to me.
I feel concerned that they would pull this with no indication and no notice. It was on the public site so someone must have put it there so why would they try and get rid of it? Maybe someone from the health department would like to comment on that on my new improved blog.
Prior to blogging I read on a yahoo group that a phone call to the department of health re: “the midwifery payout” means that the government have pulled the page for clarification and it will be back up tomorrow. WTF. They pull everything, all the information the pdf etc etc. I love a conspiracy theory and boy this feeds my soul.

This looks great Lisa. Blessings on forging Midwifery forward.
So, if you are a Privately-Practicing Midwife, you can be covered, as long as you don’t plan a homebirth with your clients?
That is what I understood from the PDF. What the heck is the point then? Sheesh!
Keep on keeping on Lisa, lets get Midwifery out of the gutter!
Blessings.

So this is for Private Midwives who will work for clients that are giving birth in a hospital? Crap!
Are Private Midwives able to get their clients to sign something to say they cant sue them if something does go wrong? I guess it probably wouldnt hold up in court anyway if it came to that… ???
Is it illegal now (after June) to do Homebirth’s? i.e do you have to have insurance? Is there going to be a fine if a midwife does do a homebirth?
What can someone like me (a woman who wants the option to birth at home ) do to help?
