  Birth Buddies - Birth after C-Section information and support group (Townsville and Thuringowa region, Qld)
  Email: philippa.s@people.net.au
  Phone: 47734075 (Philippa)
  Mobile: 0407648349 ((Philippa)

  The idea behind this group is to give women (and their partners if they would like to) an opportunity to speak to others that are interested or experienced in VBAC (Vaginal birth after 1 or more C-Sections) and the options available.
  
  We will explore the facts, the myths, the fears and the emotions that surround this decision and it will be a supportive place for people to search for answers.
  
  We welcome those that are already pregnant and those who are considering their pregnancy and birth options.
  
  This group will run once per month unless the group would like to meet fortnightly instead. In order to run in the best interests of all we would prefer that participants give themselves a couple of child free hours to focus on themselves, however we welcome babies.

  Cost - $10 per person / $15 per couple, concession $8 per person / $12 per couple to cover tea/coffee/snacks and other expenses (concessions are or students or health care card holders).
