Yeah can't wait to see your next birth on youtube ]]> Sun, 13 Apr 2008 10:12:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16275&PID=353726&title=nga-maia#353726 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16275&PID=353667&title=nga-maia#353667 Author: lizzle

I so know what you mean. I have always been so interested in pregnancy and birth but always thought of birth as a hospital, epidural type thing. Homebirths were for hippies lol. I had the most amazing midwife who opened up my eyes so much and then after having Jack I read every book on birth I could get my hands on. I hope I can one day be a midwife that empowers women to make informed choices to have the best birth they can. Knowledge is power.

I hope you do too ]]> Sat, 12 Apr 2008 21:29:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16275&PID=353495&title=nga-maia#353495 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16275&PID=353481&title=nga-maia#353481 Author: Maya

Yeah definately, I'm not maori but found a lot of what I wanted in a birth the same. I love how they have the whole whanau involved, and love younger mums. The talk really was something I will remember forever.]]> Sat, 12 Apr 2008 21:21:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16275&PID=353480&title=nga-maia#353480 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16275&PID=353460&title=nga-maia#353460 Author: Maya

I read an interesting book recently called Rediscovering Birth by Sheila Kitzinger which briefly touches on Maori birth practises, but also on practises from other cultures all over the world, it's fascinating stuff!]]> Sat, 12 Apr 2008 21:12:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16275&PID=353460&title=nga-maia#353460 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16275&PID=353420&title=nga-maia#353420 Author: Rachael21

I went to a talk on midwifery today that turned out to be all on maori midwifery and traditional maori birthing practices. I learnt so much today and it made me realise how much I want to do midwifery so for anyone who is thinking about doing midwifery (maori or not) or anyone who is pregnant/TTC and is interested in maori birthing practices I highly reccommend checking out nga maia and if you can get along to one of the talks. Pauline is so nice and you will learn so much.

It has a place to find maori midwives too ]]> Sat, 12 Apr 2008 20:47:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16275&PID=353420&title=nga-maia#353420
