I have been thinking about this too. I would like to stay at home for as long as possible (unlike my first birth which I am really disappointed about - waters broke, rang the hossy to say I'd be in later and the OB said to come in now, need to check you as baby is not engaged, 22 hours of half hearted labour , baby still not engaged , non-elective c/s). Next time I would like to have a MW at home with me to monitor bubs (safety of baby is my paramount concern here, followed by fear of c/s rupturing) while I get into the swing of things in my own space & head off to hossy when I'm ready.
