I wouldn't freebirth entirely because I'd have a doula. Not sure what I'd do if there were no IMs - but given I live in Sydney, hopefully that's not a possibility!

If they were all deregistered i'd still have one of them, their skills would remain without the piece of paper.

Congrats Freya! GL with finding a m/w.
Thanks Jen! Im going to book into the BC anyway just to keep a tie with the hospital system to keep DH happy and as a backup should the whole homebirth thing not work out.
