Thanks for the responses - I should call just out of interest. I don't think it's all that relevant though as I'd have a hell of a time convincing DH even if they would take me on.
We can't really afford the private midwife, melissa I just think it's appalling that they are not covered by all private health funds or that you can't homebirth through the public system in all areas. (If this were the case, I would've started working on DH before we got pregnant )
And yes, I've written to my MPs about it
