Sunshine Coast HBQ Support Group Meets

Pregnancy, birth and the transition into motherhood can bring enormous emotional changes. Yet too often, mothers feel they need to navigate these experiences alone.

Sometimes, support looks like a conversation with someone who understands. Sometimes, it's having your experiences heard without judgement. Sometimes, it's simply knowing there's a community you can turn to.

💜 This World Mental Health Day, we're reminded that supporting mothers means caring for their emotional wellbeing, too.

At Homebirth Queensland, we believe connection and community matter. Every mother deserves to feel heard, supported and respected throughout her journey.

If you're looking for connection or support, you don't have to navigate it alone.

🌿 Join one of our Homebirth Circles to connect with other mothers, share experiences and find community.

🌿 Find a postpartum professional through the directory on our website to explore support for your journey into motherhood.

If you're finding things difficult, support is available. You can speak with your GP or contact PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia) on 1300 726 306 for support with pregnancy and postnatal mental health.

You don't have to do it all alone, and you don't have to be okay all the time.

Motherhood needs community. Mothers need support. And you matter, too. 💜

SOMETHING NEW IS COMING TO HBQ MEMBERSHIP!

We’ve been busy behind the scenes creating a brand-new online membership area for our HBQ community members and birthworker members!

We want HBQ membership to be more than simply supporting the work we do. We’re building a space filled with practical information, resources, connection and benefits to support you on your homebirth journey — or in your work supporting homebirthing families.

Inside our growing membership area, you’ll find things like:

• Homebirth planning information and resources
• Our Planning a Homebirth in Queensland – Where to Start guide
• Recommended homebirth books, podcasts, films and resources
• Information to help you explore your homebirth options
• Access to HBQ Homebirth Circles and community connection
• Member events and opportunities to get involved
• Birth stories and experiences from our community
• Member benefits and perks
• Resources specifically for birthworkers
• Birthworker profile and directory opportunities on our big list
• HBQ Member badges for birthworkers to display on their websites and socials
• And more resources being added as we grow!

And we want YOUR input.

What would make an HBQ membership genuinely valuable to you?

What resources, information, events, education or support would you LOVE to see inside the membership area?

👇 Tell us in the comments! We’re building this for our community, and we’d love our community to help shape it.

A little heads-up, too…

Our annual HBQ membership is currently just $33 per year, but this will soon be increasing to $40 per year.

So if you’ve been thinking about joining HBQ, now is a wonderful time to become a member, support homebirth advocacy and community in Queensland, and lock in your membership at the current price. 💜

HOW DO I FIND A HOMEBIRTH MIDWIFE IN QUEENSLAND?

If homebirth is something you’re considering, start looking for your midwife early. Really early!

You don’t even need to be pregnant yet.

Follow local homebirth midwives on social media, get to know their philosophy and approach to birth, and start getting a feel for who you might connect with.

A few tips:

• Connect before you conceive if you already know homebirth is something you want
• Follow midwives on socials and get a feel for their values, personality and approach
• Ask other homebirth women who their top picks are and why
• Reach out and have conversations with several midwives, finding the right fit matters
• Once you see those two lines, get in touch early!

In many areas of Queensland, private midwives can book out incredibly early, sometimes around conception or very early pregnancy. Don't assume you need to wait until you're 8, 12 or 20 weeks to start looking.

And we’ve made finding them a whole lot easier!

HBQ's Big List is our directory of midwives and other birth workers across Queensland.

Start exploring, make connections and find the midwife who feels right for you and your family.

SO, YOU’RE INTERESTED IN A HOMEBIRTH…

Maybe you’ve only just started thinking about homebirth, or perhaps you already know it’s the path you want to explore. Either way — where do you start?

Here are a few great next steps:

• Start learning about your homebirth options in Queensland
• Connect with a Private Midwife and start having conversations about your care
• Learn about physiological birth and what homebirth can look like
• Talk with your partner and explore what you both need to feel informed and supported
• Hear the experiences of other homebirth families
• Find your local HBQ Homebirth Circle

Our Homebirth Circles are relaxed, in-person gatherings held in different areas across Queensland. They’re a place to connect, ask questions, meet other families and be surrounded by people who understand homebirth.

And you absolutely don’t need to have decided on a homebirth to come along. If you’re curious, exploring your options or simply want to learn more, you’re welcome. 💜

Sometimes the best first step is simply finding your community.
