What Purebirth Australia Has To Say

People - that includes WOMEN, are competent and capable of making their own healthcare and childbearing / childraising decisions and should be encouraged to do so. We DO support and encourage women to be educated, informed and empowered consumers.

This is not the same thing as encouraging one particular birth option, which is what the medical professionals will do. They encourage and advocate for hospital birth under the guise of birth choice - to have drugs or drug free birth, to go public or private, to have vaginal birth or caesarean and so on. We do not do that either way. If a woman wants a freebirth then so be it. If a woman wants a midwife at home, then so be it. If a woman wants to birth at hospital, then so be it.

Nobody, and I mean, NOBODY has the right to dictate to birthing women how, when or where they birth. Here at Purebirth Australia, we send our sincerest apologies to those who would seek to control women and their births, for any inconveniences or outrages they feel this website has caused.

We suggest that you remember in your care, you have an intelligent, thinking and capable woman who knows what she needs and what she doesn't. This has nothing to do with any website and everything to do with her knowledge of herself and her baby, and her right to her body and her birth. This is what we support.

Some women will fight for that tooth and nail while others may not be able to. Good birth CAREproviders will listen to women and support their NEEDS regardless of personal opinion or belief. Are you a good birth CAREprovider?
