Looks like Victoria is the most progressive state for Water birth in Australia...Good news for Victorians (-;

It takes a lot of hard work by the midwives in the hospitals to make pools available to women, so if they are not yet in your local hospital, then get behind the midwives and help make it an option for all women.

 

** Simply Birth Disclaimer ~~   Just because the pools have been purchased, does not guarantee they will be in use, you may need to encourage the hospital to dig the pool out from a cupboard and blow the dust off, or it may have pride of place in a room. Its only by asking for and working for change , that it will happen.
