Hobart Va Journal Club November 2026

We are excited to invite midwives from across all areas of practice to join us to discuss a recent French paper that explores second-stage pushing duration. We have been looking forward to discussing this paper for a few months now, and in some great synchronicity, those of you who are tuned to the Great Birth Rebellion will likely know that Melanie Jackson has recently discussed this paper in her podcast~
The meeting details are:
Date/Time: Wednesday 25 November 2026, 6pm onwards
Location: Dining Room, Kosaten Hobart, 17 Castray Esplanade, Battery Point. Street parking, PT + bike parking close by.
The article: Montfort, E., Nallet, C., Cot, S., Lucot-Royer, L., Ramanah, R., Scheffler, F., & Mottet, N. (2026).
