This is baby will be our first to be birthed at home and we've decided to birth with an IM. I had always planned to book into a hospital as a "precautionary".

Our local hopsital (Beaudesert) no longer offers birthing services so I was referred to the next hospital, Logan. I've never birthed at this hospital but have supported Doula clients and from these experiences refused to ever step foot back into it. But again, as a precautionary, I asked my GP to send a referral off to them.

Yesterday, I decdied to call them as I hadn't yet recieved any correspondence from them. I was advised that because I was intending to Homebirth, Logan Hospital does not offer shared care to Women choosing Homebirth. It doesnt really bother me as I didn't want to go there anyways, but I'm a little pi$$ed that I've been turned away because of my preferences.

Did you book into one?

Were you ever turned away? If so, what did you do from there?

Experiences/stories appreciated!
