Service Description:
Medicare-funded private midwifery care.

Melissa Maimann is an eligible midwife providing Medicare-funded private midwifery care.  Melissa is the first private midwife in Australia to offer a unique model of care which combines private midwifery care with Specialist Obstetric back-up, promoting natural birth (waterbirth included), VBAC, vaginal twin and vaginal breech births - all at Westmead Hospital.

Feel confident and supported in pregnancy, birth and the new parenting experience.  Melissa Maimann's approach is tailored to each client, with a flair for evidence-based and practical care and support.

Women choosing this service can anticipate a safe pregnancy and birth experience, exceptionally low rates of intervention and an emotionally satisfying experience.  Care is provided privately in your home or in my comfortable rooms and we take our time addressing the things that matter to you.  Birthing services are provided exclusively at Westmead Hospital.  Medicare brings significant cost savings and we are confident that you will find this service to be most affordable.

Service Description:
Birthrites: Healing After Caesarean aims to provide a support network for women who've had a previous c/section(s), and to increase the awareness of these women's needs to their health-carers within the medical profession. We aim to do this by:

    1) Providing telephone contacts - someone to talk to who knows what you've experienced, as they've had a c/section themselves.

    2) Monthly "Get-Togethers" in Perth.

    3) To increase women's awareness of birth choices via a suggested reading list, the Internet and by talking to health carers.

    4) To increase public, and medical, awareness of the increasing c/section rate and inform them of the safety of Vaginal Birth After Caesarean (VBAC), in most cases.

    5) To return some women's rituals to birth, whether that birth is a VBAC or a caesarean section (Empowered Birth After Caesarean - EBAC).
