CELEBRATING 2020: THE YEAR OF THE NURSE AND MIDWIFEIts 1999 and Jodie doesnt want children. When her husband threatens, baby or bust, she resists. But 30 is approaching, and her eggs arent getting younger.By chance, Jodie gets access to the only public Birth Centre in South East Queensland; one of two in the entire state. She is profoundly changed by her babys beautiful birth and becomes an advocate at the hospital while a larger, national campaign for birth reform is growing.Having babies herself and supporting others in birth, Jodie uncovers the secret womens business that conservative obstetricians deny and resist.In Australia, one-third of all births are caesarean and one in ten women experience Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. If reproduction is a feminist issue, welcome to the forgotten womens movement.Midwives werent able to force change alone. Jodies devotion and dedication are commendable. The midwifery world needs more like her. Beth McRae, author of Outback Midwife
