Ask a midwife (Robyn Dempsey)

Homebirth NSW interviews two incredible midwives about all things Homebirth in Australia. If you have questions, this is a fantastic video to watch! Bonnie Hook, Amy Innes and Aimee Sing interview two midwives, Chantel Letertre and Sheryl Sidery. Chantel is a Privately Practising Midwife in the Sydney and Blue Mountains regions, and Sheryl is a midwifery homebirth coordinator and mentor with the Royal Hospital for Women's Publicly Funded Homebirth Program (with experience from the Privately Practising Midwifery model). We hope you enjoy this Q and A session!

Ask a midwife (Robyn Dempsey)

This is the first edition of our “Ask a Midwife” live Zoom meeting series hosted by our secretary, Amelia Parkinson.
In this video Robyn Dempsey, a private midwife, answers a wide range of your questions, including: “Can I have a waterbirth in a second floor unit?”,  “Why are women in hospital ‘on the clock’ and how is this different in a homebirth?” and many more, touching on the practical and financial aspects of homebirth in Australia.  Enjoy!
