Hi
I don't suppose there's anyone who's birthed at home through the community midwifery program in WA? I'm keen on a HB, but haven't quite got myself to 'make the call'... would love to hear more about the ins and outs etc. One good thing about the CWP here is that it's medicare funded, so only a $120 application fee is payable. I've seen everyone's comments on money - i know it shouldn't really be a big consideration but we just couldn't afford to pay out 2000-4000 unfortunately. (our private OB is covered by insurance).

Not sure what my reluctance to call is... can someone please give me a 'prod'? Don't know how limited the program is, since it's free, but even if we can't get in this time would be good to find out more for next time.

cheers,
