			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>How can I keep my birth as natural as possible?</strong></p>
<p>If you want to keep your birth as natural as possible then practice regular relaxation, listen to your intuition and trust your body! Listen to what your body is telling you, not what other people are telling you. No-one knows your body like you do. If you feel comfortable with this and trust what your body is telling you, you will know if everything is okay, or if you need to make changes.</p>
<p>Avoid interventions wherever possible, otherwise you may start the ‘cascade of intervention’, whereby one intervention leads to another, then another and another. Work with your body’s natural endorphins and oxytocin.  They are there for a reason and make labour so much more comfortable, as long as you don’t block them out with artificial substitutes. Find out more ideas on what you can do in my eBook on ‘Childbirth Preparation’.  Available at:  <a href="http://www.childbirthpreparationebook.com/">www.childbirthpreparationebook.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>&#8220;Ecstatic Birth&#8221;<br />
by Jeanice Barcelo</strong></p>
<p>When I use the term “ecstatic birth,” I am referring to a birth experience that is filled with extreme joy, supreme satisfaction, deep love, and spiritual bliss.   Ecstatic birth is a life-changing, cellular shifting, consciousness-altering event.  Some women describe their ecstatic birth experience as transcendent, i.e., an inter-dimensional journey that activates union with the divine. </p>
<p>Ecstatic birth is deeply empowering for both mother and child (and dad, if he is present) and provides a memory of absolute victory for the entire family that can be referenced again and again throughout time.  Ecstatic birth activates the neurobiology of love in both mother and child (and dad if he is present) and lays the foundation for the preservation of love in families forever.</p>
<p>Mothers who have experienced ecstatic birth speak of the deep, exquisite feelings of love they experience at birth – for their babies and their partners – a bond of love that persists throughout life and seems to create immunity to the dysfunctional types of relating we see so often in mainstream parent/child interactions.</p>
<p>An ecstatic birth is usually bestowed upon families that have prepared themselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  Technology is typically not part of an ecstatic birth, and very often the parents have worked on resolving their own negative birth imprints before they give birth to their babies.<br />

<p>The simple answer to this one is to read the article below and take URGENT ACTION…otherwise the option of homebirth may be lost to Australian women. Even if you don’t want a homebirth, many other women do and our children may…so help keep choice alive for ALL women…PLEASE!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" title="water birth" src="http://www.quolkids.com/images/birthchoices-sm.jpg" alt="" width="152" height="241" />Having a baby is a normal part of life.  We should all be able to choose the type of care that we wish to receive during our time of pregnancy, giving birth and after the birth.  There are several birthing options available when it comes to your caregiver and your chosen place of birth.  These options may vary from country to country, so it’s wise to check out what is available in your local area.</p>
<p>The following is a list of some of the possible options you may have available.  Decide which option suits your needs the most and then see if you can find something similar in your local area.  Shop around until you find what works best for you.  Having a baby is one of the most special events in your life.  It is therefore essential that you feel comfortable and at ease with your caregivers and your surrounding environment.</p>
<p><strong>Private Hospital with a Private Obstetrician</strong></p>
<p>If you choose private care in a private hospital, the obstetrician of your choice will care you for throughout your pregnancy.  They will attend your birth and usually do follow-up post-natal care with you.  You will have a private room with an en-suite bathroom.</p>
<p><strong>Public Hospital with a Private Obstetrician</strong></p>
<p>You can choose to have an Obstetrician of your choice but go to a public hospital if you wish, as long as the Obstetrician works there, or has visiting rights.  In this case the same will apply as for a private hospital with your caregiver.  However, at a public hospital you may not get a private room after the birth.  Most rooms are on a share basis, as well as the bathroom facilities.  This is a slightly cheaper option if you are not on top hospital cover with your health fund.</p>
<p><strong>Public Hospital Care</strong></p>
<p>If you choose public hospital care, midwives and doctors who specialize in obstetrics at the hospital will care for you during your pregnancy.  You will give birth in the hospital and you may have to share a room with one or more other new mothers during your stay.</p>
<p><strong>Shared Care</strong></p>
<p>Shared care is an arrangement between your doctor and the hospital to care for you.  During your pregnancy you go to your own GP on a regular basis, visiting the hospital more frequently towards the end of your pregnancy.  You give birth in hospital, and whether you share a room or not may depend on if you are a public or private patient.</p>
<p><strong>Birth Centre</strong></p>
<p>Birth centers offer a home like environment for women who have a low risk pregnancy.  Birth Centers are available at a few public and private hospitals.  There are also some freestanding Birth Centers.  During your pregnancy midwives will care for you.  The room you give birth in is the room you stay in and, in some cases, your partner can stay overnight with you.  There is a high demand for places, so you should book early in your pregnancy.</p>
<p><strong>Homebirth with a Private Midwife</strong></p>
<p>If you choose a homebirth, the midwife of your choice will care you for during your pregnancy.  The midwife will be with you during the labour and birth in your own home, as well as do all of your post natal follow-up checks.</p>
<p><strong>Homebirth with a Community Midwifery Program</strong></p>
<p>Some cities offer a government-funded program for homebirth.  This is free of charge usually, except possibly for a small booking fee.  Your care will be exactly the same as for a homebirth with a private midwife, except you will need to choose your midwife from those that are available and are linked in with the program.  There is a big demand for this option (&amp; limited places), so you need to book in as soon as possible to get a place.  You must have a low risk pregnancy to qualify.</p>
