If homebirth is made illegal it's enough make us consider moving back to NZ!
Yes, we need a Govt' health system like NZ. Where the midwife follows the mother to wherever she wants to birth. Be it at a hospital of choice, a birthcentre or at home.
Hopefully we will see the range of our own maternity services broaden in the public hospital system. We've graduated to birth centres and know your midwife programs, surely it can extend to community/home midwifery models of care too.
