My Body, My Baby, MY RIGHT TO DECIDE, NOT KEVIN RUDD’s Ballarat 18 Feb 2010

[Wilhelmina]

I soooo want to go. Hoping to work out so Hub can have the day off, otherwise I can't see me being able to.
Fingers crossed

I would love it if someone would organise it so that KRudd is fronted with some of us everywhere he goes for a few weeks. Get behind him in media images, make it known! I am fired up after reading those fb comments.

Fantastic idea Morph

I am very committed to saving homebirth, but it's annoying having no idea of what's happening or location. I have a 3yroldDD, a 22mth old and a newborn DD and I am gonna be bringing banner and signs etc for our area and it'd be nice to get some idea of what's going on. Seems very disorganised and I'm losing enthusiasm to be honest.

[Wilhelmina]

While the exact location is not known yet, we know its in Ballarat City, so that's the main thing for me.

From what I know the organising is actually going well. A lot of effort from not an organisation, but mums like us.

I so understand the lack of enthusiasm too. I go through waves of fuck it what can we do, to fuck them I am not going down without putting in all I can.

I also keep reminding myself that feeling deflated and backing down is what they want. I will not give them that.

I will be there Just me and the newbie this time.(and bringing the gorgeous Ishtar and Z who is NOT turning 1 this weekend)

The location has been decided but not released just yet to be sure it is the best location I am told we will all have it within the next day or so

I am the same Dommie I need to know how we are getting there, what time and where I am going to feel less pressure so I like to sort it out in advance (PTSD lagging stuff lol)

What's going on in Brisbane? Seems like nothing!!!! or perhaps i have just missed it!

I would organise something but with a 5wk old babe & full on 3yr old, i'm sorry, but i just can't manage at the moment........but will definately go if something is happening.

Anyone?

[Ishtar]

yeah there is something it is stickied in the qld section or look on fb

[Araluen]

Tis a mission to Ballarat with the tribe so would be good to know where I'm going. Hopefully we really will know in a day or so! Thanks Ishtar and W.

[Ishtar]

I've sent a message asking and saying I was intending on PMing those who werent on fb but had posted here where the location was so it wasn't right out there yk

[Ishtar]
