	Meeting last night	316 Tage her
	Well, last night we had the 2nd ever meeting. It's definitely a labour of love! We really had no idea what to expect when we started this, we knew there were a few homebirthing mums around but really thought it would take a while (even years) before it became a really useful resource with people coming to the meetings. Well I think it's going better than either of us could have expected - people have come from 40/50 miles away! And we're getting amazing support from the NHS, the Consultant Midwife (so I believe she's the top midwife in the entire trust) attended last night and is so incredibly enthusiastic about our group. She's really pulling out all the stops to help us, she's going to try and provide us a Supervisor of Midwives for a time slot at each meeting to answer questions and concerns. She's also looking for a venue for us in Aberdeen. Also our trust is going to be giving every pregnant woman a leaflet detailing their birth choices, and the midwife should go over the leaflet with them. Our information will be on there. And the C.M. is going to talk about our group at the next Supervisors of Midwives meeting so that they're all aware that we exist and can inform their midwives that we're here. I think what Charlie and I are most excited about though is that we've been invited to their birth conference in Aberdeen in May! It's a conference for professionals and they have speakers and debate panels. The theme of the conference is "Birth Choices". I think we'll be able to put information up there as well about our group.
