It is good. It's bittersweet because of the homebirth stuff, but hey, I'd prefer bittersweet over bitterbitter any day.

And it's a great result for people who might not be able to homebirth because of factors like finances or risk - for someone who can't afford a homebirth *sob* or has a history of haemorrhages, having a midwife I trust and who knows my birth wishes because of continuity of care, is a good thing.

Really looking forward to the day when homebirth is medicare funded or at least subsidised, and registered doulas are funded/subsidised too. Any day now, right?
