What a lovely morning we had on the lawn with the kids busily exploring the creek and playground

We are a community of like minded parents. Everyone who shares our ethos is most welcome, you don't need to have had a homebirth. We hope to see you at the next meet up on Sunday May 31st.

Our first outdoors meetup for the year! 🌺
We had a humid but lovely morning at De La Plage with a few bubs and older siblings (not all pictured).

Our next meet up will be Sunday April 26 for some water play in the botanic gardens playground. Bring the family along!

Did you know the Darwin Homebirth Group has been completely volunteer-run since the 1980s?

And those volunteers are superstars who have juggled babies in arms and on laps, along with work and other commitments. All while showing up with smiles on their sleep deprived faces.

We are so grateful 💛

Last year, we took the bold step to decrease the workload on our volunteer families. Now we only require volunteers to contribute 2 hours of their time per year - that's it.

If you are able to assist us so the group can keep running, we'd love to hear from you.

The Darwin Homebirth Group can't exist without volunteers.
Can you spare 2 hours a year to help?

What fun we had yesterday at our first meet up for the year! Morning tea in the refreshing cool cafe, a quick wander in the museum and saying hi to the turtles and fish.

Join us on the last Sunday of the month from 9:30-11:30. Locations change each month, so keep an eye out for the event on Facebook.

Our next meet-up is happening this Sunday at the playground beside Lake Alexander, East Point Reserve. Look for the big round picnic mat.

All family members are welcome to join for a play and picnic. See Facebook event for more details.

The dry season weather lingered for our monthly meet up this morning at Sanctuary Lakes. And at some point, everyone got to sit down and enjoy the shared stories and busy kids.

Come say hi 👋 You can spot us by the preschoolers, toddlers, babies and newborns, bikes, prams and shared picnic food. Everyone who shares our ethos is welcome, you don't need to have had a homebirth, be planning a homebirth or have a baby.

What a lovely morning we had connecting with new faces and familiar ones at our monthly meet up.

Our next one is a special event to be held at The Mother Hood Darwin on Friday 6th of June for International Homebirth Day. Keep your eye out for the event.

If you would like to get involved or are able to help our group with some time, please get in touch 🙏

Each year we compile a reel to celebrate International Homebirth Day. If you have photos you would like to share, please send directly to our Facebook, Instagram or email to dhbginfo@gmail.com before May 3rd.

Not all homebirth journeys unfold in a birth at home and we welcome photos of all births ✨️

After 39 wonderful years, the Darwin Homebirth Group is entering a new chapter. We are merging with Childbirth Education Association and will no longer be an incorporated association.

Childbirth Education Association Darwin (our long term sister organisation) will continue to manage our birth equipment hire, as they have done for the last 18 months, ensuring our community continues to access equipment smoothly and with care.

The hiring process won’t change.
It will continue to be managed using our email address.
all enquires contact
dhbginfo@gmail.com

The DHBG monthly morning teas, advocacy and community support will continue as always.

Please reach out with any questions you may have.
We look forward to seeing you at our next meet up @ De La Plage 25” May 9.30-11.30am

With love and gratitude,
Darwin Homebirth Group.

Today’s morning tea included a swim and a visit to feed the fish. We spent some time with a lovely Homebirth family and the kids enjoyed splashing around escaping the heat. We aren’t having a meet up next month due to the long weekend - but we will be at De La Plage on the 25th of May 🤍 can’t wait to see you there.
