Thanks Alan. I probably will have a chat with a couple. I have a gazillion questions anyway I think, as I'm still tossing up whether I'm 100% comfortable with it yet. I tend to evict my babies early, and what if half way through the pregnancy it turns out I'm not low risk afterall or something... it'd be too late then to see my preferred OB wouldn't it?

Whichever way I go, I'll be having a doula this time, so that should help my birth be more active etc hopefully!

Wish you were around here Alan! Fancy a holiday in January? haha. Mind you, I'm sure I'll feel the same confidence in a local midwife once I actually meet one
