I mostly have just been lurking and following everyone's lives, like the stalker I am! Haha. But I don't know where to turn today, DH is at work, and my mates are against HB. Don't mind me while I offload a bit...

I found out today my midwife's court case didn't go so great. The decisions handed down were really harsh, and I think uncalled for. The gist of it is, to continue as a HB midwife she needs to get a supervising midwife approved. There are two who have submitted applications for the position, but I wont know for about a week if they get the job or not. If they get approved that'd be great - but if the supervising MW is unavailable when I go into labour for whatever reason (attending her own patients, sick, whatever), my MW will be legally unable to attend me and I'll be "strongly advised" to go to the hospital.

If I wanted a hospital birth I wouldn't be forking over the 4 freaking grand to do it at home! My MW has asked around to see if there's another IM available to take me, but apparently they are all booked up (not surprising, I'm due Nov). Feeling pretty stressed today. Prayin that a supervisor gets approved
