Over 80% of women can expect to give birth normally, given the right support - continuity of care that is founded on the understanding that birth is usually a normal process. Midwifery group practices in local hospitals are one way to give that support. We hear two women's stories from the Byron Community Birthing Service in Byron Bay Australia.
Thank you to Candice and Tiffany for sharing your stories.
