  • Our Editorial
    1 REFLECTIONS Our Editorial. By Sian Hannagan Jun 2014 Birth in New Zealand has come a long way due to the efforts of the women and midwives before us. Since the Nurses Amendment Act was instated in 1990, women got a real choice in their place of birth. Annette King in her address at the 100 th anniversary of Midwifery in NZ in 2004, said “Although the amendment to the Nurses Act was minor, the consequences for midwifery were significant. The most important outcome of that piece of legislation for midwifery was that it permitted midwives to operate as fully independent providers of pregnancy and childbirth services without reference to or supervision by medical practitioners.“ This amendment signalled a huge change in the birth culture of New Zealand. Prior to this change, birth looked very different. I remember talking to my mother in law about her births. When she was birthing my husband, she was told by the nurses to “hold on” and “keep her legs crossed” so that the Doctor had time to arrive and deliver her baby. He turned up, just in the nick of time, and smoked a cigarette while he watched her birth her baby and left shortly thereafter. He got paid a tidy sum for his attentive care. With the nurses amendment act, medical practitioners lost their monopoly on funding, causing the power balance to shift, the result being more choice for women. However, as we enter the 21 st century, while the same law is in place, we still have to overcome obstacles when it comes to our view of birth.
