Our Spring Hui and Conference was held in Auckland in October 2017. Hosted by the Auckland Homebirth Community the Conference was held at the Jetpark Motel in Mangere. The speakers there covered a broad range of topics. With a strong focus on midwifery and maternity the conference was a rich with conversation on a collaborative way forward for homebirth in Aotearoa.
A highlight of the conference was Annabel Farry and her talk on the NZ Place of Birth Study. She spoke from the heart, her conversation cutting right to the core of birth and birth choice. Her study validates, homebirth, primary maternity, and physiological birth as a clear gold standard for maternity care. Her findings validating the continuity of care midwife led model that Aotearoa Maternity is founded on.
