So much for the much lauded 'birth choices' in obstetrics = labour on the bed or a beanbag (the latter only if you are lucky and dont need constant monitoring or IVs...*said very tongue in cheek here*).
Unfortunately, the only way that you could even get close to the waterbirth you want is with an IM at home. I am really sorry that it isnt an option for you I would still hesitate and say that it *could* be worth checking out, especially as more and more IMs are able to access the medicare rebate system and this is almost halving the costs involved...and ya never know, you could be like me and be winning Tuesday's lotto (that's mah plan for the week ).
Are you seeing someone for the birth trauma stuff? I found it really beneficial when i was pg with DD2 as i could bounce off my experiences in checking out the new hospitals etc with her and gauge my reactions and ensure that we were heading in the right direction (i have a tendency to wilt and smile through most hospital appts/tours etc and then find it hard to know if the experience was actually ok, or if it was actually demeaning ITMS).
Going to Tweed Hospital can be the right road, you can claim this next birth back, see it as a positive challenge and begin the preparations for this new, empowered road xx I know you can do it
