There are a number of support organisations for pregnancy and it can be difficult to located these organisations. So I've started this thread to encourange you to list your local support organisations. Most of these organisations are grass roots and run by volunteers.

“Illawarra Birth Choices is a group of families providing support and sharing information about issues surrounding pregnancy, maternity care, birth and beyond. We are a Maternity Coalition branch, a non profit community organisation.

We meet monthly at the Russell Vale Community Hall, and discuss a wide range of topics. Our meetings are friendly gatherings, and an opportunity to find out about options for Maternity Care in the Illawarra and more. Kids are of course very welcome.”

There are many choices to make when you’re pregnant. How and where will you give birth? Who will provide your maternity care and who will attend the birth? To make confident and informed choices you need to be aware of all available options.

Choices for Childbirth antenatal classes provide you with information not generally available in other antenatal classes. Our classes provide a comfortable forum where you can listen, learn, ask questions and share in the birth stories of others.
