    One thing Shel said last night which made me think...

    If you got a midwife who WOULD go underground, you would need to 110% sure that they would transfer you in case of emergency. Because they would get in trouble, so does that leave it open to the possibility of midwives taking more chances, so they don't get in trouble? You'd have to discuss that possibiliity of what if. Of course, if something DID go wrong, they'd be in trouble anyway, but would some (SOME) be more likely to leave it to the last minute.

    Not that I'm saying midwives are all about themselves, but its their livelyhood and $30000, so would things that may be problems be overlooked possibley or played down ...? Of course, the answer owuld be to find a midwife you completely trust, and sure thats a great answer, but ... you'd never know?
