This group is for anyone with an interest in homebirthing in Aotearoa/New Zealand. It is especially intended for the support of those seeking and planning to birth at home in New Zealand.

If you've taken on the responsibility of your own birth experience, then here's where you belong. We know we are making the safest decision in choosing homebirth, but having a community to lean on when everyone else seems to be doing it another way can really help!
This list is for us to share our experiences, knowledge, research, resources and celebrations.
This is a fun and friendly place, diverse opinions and debate are welcome and encouraged but no flaming or personal attacks will be tolerated. Come on in and join us!

The Art opposite is a piece by Thomas Lauterbach entitled "Kakatai".
He say's of the piece...
"The wairua (spirit) of the unborn is tapu and the true miracle of life.
In Maoridom the birth of a child is seen as a "passing on" of the ancestral seed, when women are one with the stars of the universe. Kakatai - the blue heron is the sacred bird accompaning childbirth."
