    Did you know that in Perth (WA) that homebirth is actually COMPLETELY FREE covered by Medicare under the CMP program. Just google Community Midwifery Program. So there's no reason you have to save up money to have a homebirth, and the midwife will be involved as little or as much as you like. Would this be an option for you??
    DGNFDJKHRAPHGPR;GNJR;Wgnv ARE YOU KIDDING?! oh my god, OMG! That's fantastic! But i am so upset that i didn't know about it with my first!! DAMN i could've had her at home!! piffle damn pifflepiffle!! I saw a doco on TV that said there's only one place that does it in WA and you need to book as soon as you find out you're pregnant because they're so busy. I found out about them towards the end of my labour so I never investigated it.

    That would probably be this scheme... you do have to book early but i don't know anyone who's had a problem not being accepted due to lack of space.

    At least you know about it now and can consider it for your next one Feel free to pm me if you need any more info okay.
