hmmm i wouldnt know what to say either lol! i wonder if you have to do it because maybe it is only at the womens that she can do it directly it *might* also be because of my PTSD that she does it for me? i cant remember that far back to DD2s early pregnancy lol.

ok, let's brainstorm...i guess, call up, say that you are planning a homebirth with a group midwifery practice and have been advised to organise a 'transfer booking' with the hospital'. they might ask you "what on earth is that" lol. and from there i would say something like: 'it's where you guys (the hossy) has all your pathology, ultrasound results on record so that in the case of a transfer it is all on record'??
if they do know what you are on about, i guess they will guide you through the process...ie giving you a patient number etc. they keep a wee little file with your records etc. they will need the IMs details (ie the business name, her phone number and address)
