birth centres  

Midwife managed birthing centres offer a more natural 'at-home' style antenatal care, labour and birth. These centres emphasize minimal use of pain-relieving drugs during birth. Early enrolment is advised at these centres, since places are limited and are only available to low-risk pregnancies. Birthing centres are usually located near, or within, hospitals, so that those giving birth can have immediate access to any medical need that might arise.The Baby-friendly Health Initiative, managed by the Australian College of Midwives, is an international project promoting maternity care that involves breastfeeding and practices that improve the health and well-being of mothers and their babies. Our directory listings indicate hospitals that are accredited by the Baby Friendly Health Initiative (BFHI) with a BFHI symbol. For more information on the scheme, visit the BFHI website.Read our informative artice on Making the best Antenatal and Childbirth Choices for You
