Birthing with a Publicly Funded Midwifery Group Practice in Australia

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Gianne.

Gianne is a mama of one from the Gold Coast, Australia.

She's always been so deeply fascinated with the mystery that is pregnancy and birth, knowing just how much of a miracle it truly is.

Gianne and her partner Summit consciously conceived their daughter Indira on their first try. Her partner, being a chiropractor, knew about the Midwifery Group Practice through his client who was working in the program. And after applying they were accepted.

This meant that Gianne had continuity of care throughout her pregnancy and into her postpartum with a known midwife and it was publicly funded. However she always felt that the appointments were rushed and she never got the deep trusting relationship she desired with her midwife. She felt like the sacred and spiritual part was missing.

On the night when her daughter was born her water broke and within 4 hours she had her baby in her arms. It was a wild and intense birth filled with sacredness and magic, as well as some unnecessary interference from her own midwife and the hospital staff.

Gianne's experience was the catalyst for her to fulfill her own dream of working in the birth space and at 10 months postpartum she commenced her studies to become a doula and hypnobirthing educator.
