I think you have hit the nail on the head there BW... I think they might have just survayed First time mums I think as a 1st timer or a mum who has had complcations you would feel safer in the hospital enviroment but those of us who have been there a few time have learned to trust the friendly Midwives and trust they will do the best for us.... So that is why I would go to a centre run by them because I KNOW what a great job they have done in the past and would trust them completly....
