So I'm able to talk to them from both of those perspectives and say that I am a midwife, but I'm an informed midwife who is an Aboriginal woman and has experience in this.
And I say to them, believe in yourself, be strong,
in what you know about you.
Do not let a midwife or anyone else tell you that you're at risk with your pregnancy because you're an Aboriginal woman.
Birthing and pregnancy is not an illness.
It's a natural process.
And we're only at risk if we have a history of health issues or chronic disease or things that might put us in a situation where we're not as physically well as we should be because maybe we're living on a poverty line.
Or maybe we don't have good housing.
Or maybe we're psychologically stressed because we're in a difficult partnership.
Tell the midwife about those things so she can help you.
But correct her if she assumes that you're at risk because you're an Aboriginal woman.
