    Wow sounds like a such a task in some states for a HB. I feel so lucky to have such a simply process & a pick-of-the-bunch supportive GP. I don't understand why they system thinks it's *so* dangerous! Women have been birthing at home with the aid of other women for thousands/millions of years (whichever you believe) and quite obviously it's been pretty successful. Our bodies were made/evolved this way (again, whichever you believe), why oh WHY can't they just let us do it the way it's meant to be done?! Ok I better stop because I could go on forever haha. So I hope you all manage to sort out your drama's with having HB.

    Love what you said about birth being a family experience Sara. So true.

    Cassius you bet my mum is excited! She is way over the top lol. At first she was telling everyone she was delivering the baby LOL. So you live in Italy?

    Sara - it's so tough isn't it Our homebirth cost $4k - worth every cent, but still so tough to come up with if you just don't have it! I agree with everyone else - try to book into the MGP at the least and see how you go negotiating with mw's

    Thanks Jen and lady_neon for your kind comments about my photos!
