Jasmine was born on Saturday 21st November 2009 at 42+1 weeks. Her birth was much anticipated, especially as I had been having braxton hicks contractions on and off for over a month before labour started, and gone past my “guess date” by two weeks.

Homebirth - Who Chooses?
Video Homebirth - Who Chooses? was a documentary filmed by Chanel 7's Sunday Night Program. Anna Russell and her family literally lived with the film crew over a period of two weeks - to bring awareness of the plight of homebirth in Australia in 2009. Anna's homebirth is beautiful and peaceful - in stark contrast to the hospital birth portrayed.
