Our PHILOSOPHY:

• encourages a woman-centred focus in natural childbirth;
• views pregnancy and childbirth as a normal physiological process not an illness;
• acknowledges the broader social, cultural, and physiological factors influencing childbirth;
• advocates midwives as primary caregivers of women in normal birth;
• emphasises a woman’s right to make informed choice in caregiver/s, place of labour and childbirth;
• prioritises mother-baby bonding at all times;

Our COMMITMENT to NATURAL BIRTH CHOICE provides:

• the option to birth at home or at the Launceston Birth Centre;
• quality pre and post-natal care with a primary registered midwife;
• two midwives at your birth;
• safe practice in a healthy birthing environment;
• an openness to family-centred birth;
• self-contained accommodation for as little or as long as need be;
• a central location, over the road from the Queen Victoria hospital;
• equipment for hire;
