average cost of a homebirth

[phynna]

I think the other Melb hospital is Casey? Don't quote me though

I was considered high-risk too, coz of my liver condition and my anti-cardiolipin antibodies
....high risk and I ended up with a drug-free, tear/stitch/cut free, intervention free labour, and my baby is completely healthy, no jaundice, and no problems breathing/sucking/toilet-ing, etc!

Has anyone gone through the public system for blood tests, ultrasounds etc but hired a midwife for a home birth? I went public last time and I can't get my head around paying for these tests when I can get them for free.
