Details of experience

For this pregnancy I attempted to find a independent midwife but none service my rural area. Then sought the support of an OB so that I could have a back up plan for Cairns Private however they did not accept me into the continuity of midwife program due to midwives going on leave and also the OB refused care as my first choice was Homebirth/freebirth.
