Talking about The Birth Map

What are your thoughts on The Birth Map?

You have a right, and a responsibility, to be Informed.  

There is a myriad of evidence to support the birthing mapping approach as not only a powerful tool to support women, but also their partners and the care providers.  The Birth Map has the potential to save the pubic purse $100M annually in birth costs and a further $158M in perinatal mental health for women and men...can we convince the Government (through the Minister for Health) to invest in the pregnant women of Australia?  My dream is to see a copy given at the booking in appointment of every pregnancy.  

The feedback below will be taken to a meeting with the Health Minister, and opposition, in the lead up to the election to encourage investment into perinatal well being, for women and their partners.  

If you have already seen the book, please comment below.  Your comment might be a review, a testimonial or a plea on behalf of future pregnancies.  Women deserve to know what they need to ask.  

My goal is to never hear another woman say: I wish I had known to ask that!

The comments about The Birth Map will also be used to help in applications for grants and funding which will support a formal study into the outcomes of this process.  So far, anecdotal information is suggesting that this process has a protective element from birth disappointment, birth trauma and perinatal depression in women and their partners, improves midwives working experience and reduces unnecessary interventions.  This means reduced cost to the public health system and a positive experience for Women, partners and maternity workers.
