Independent Midwifery is not Independent

Why do Australian women think Homebirth Midwives are independent of the system? Where has this presumption come from? What's at stake for privately practicing Midwives, what does it takes for a Midwife to become a privately  practicing business woman - and how does this affect the care and advice they provide you as a birthing woman? What is their relationship with the birthing system when providing a service to a birthing woman?In this podcast interview I chat to Sarah, a Private Homebirth Midwife from Down to Birth Midwifery - who answers all of these questions truthfully and informatively.Sarah informs us of the different choices women have in terms of Midwifery Care within Australia and what you want to (and should!) know as a birthing woman leaning into homebirth - but are probably not being told.A must listen to for birthing women considering a homebirth and Midwives considering starting the journey of becoming a Private Homebirthing Midwife.---Connect with Anita at www.themidwitch.comAnita Katherine, The MidwitchReconnecting you with your medicine, magic, & power.Follow me on IG: @themidwitchFreebies: https://themidwitch.com/thecauldronPregnant?
