I was wanting opinions from Midwives, Doulas and Mothers alike.

Over the last few years I have heard many differing opinions about this, I have heard many hospital midwives say that homebirths are dangerous, some say that homebirths are ideal. heard independent Mids say that homebirths are the way to go.

Why is there such a difference of opinion within the one profession? is it lack of knowledge (of the "other side")? lack of experience (with the "other side)? what is it?

Thanks Jade
