I totally agree that homebirth should be a free option if hospital birth is.
Maybe I wasn't clear about that.
It's just that I keep coming across an attitude that really bugs me (not on BB) that anyone who works with birthing women should be doing it for love not money and if you want to make a profit from doing what you love then you're letting women down somehow. Like joining the birth business means you should take a vow of poverty as a symbol of the majestic awe of childbirth...

Don't mind me - I'm just having a bit of an OT spack attack. I'll go to the corner and rock back and forth for a while now :P
