I wouldn't object to a birth centre and was looking forward to going to one with DS (didn't happen though due to stupid lying dates which weren't right). TBH, I'd give birth in a hospital if there were an option for giving birth in a hospital rather than being bullied and treated like a lump of meat and cut up without your knowledge or consent. I had a good midwife for one shift in the hospital and, despite the bully on the ward, would have been able to give birth if I'd have had that sort of treatment (ie head around the door every two hours to see if I were OK!).
In fact, if I were to have any medical input in #2 then I'd go to a birth centre no problem. But I'm not even telling my GP, nor any midwives, nor any hospital that I'm pg next time so can't really book into a birth centre. The reason for that is because of the trauma around the whole DS thing. I just don't trust anyone. I actually would trust my current GP but can't risk getting anyone involved - and I will have a different GP next time due to having moved a long way out the area.
