BekZ - are you able to discuss going through the midwife program for checkups but giving birth in the normal hospital or is that not an option? That is what happened to me because I was really overdue. Due to complications that occured during labour I would want to be at the main hospital for the next labour in case I need intervention, but still want to go through the midwife program and not see a doctor if there is nothing wrong. I was told that I am able to do this. I hope it works out for you.
