You don't need anybody to sign off anything for you to homebirth - you just have to stay home until your baby is born

The others have covered off on the medicare side of things, but i have heard that some midwives have raised their fees along with their medicare eligibility and so the final costs may be similar between two midwives even if one is medicare eligible and the other is not. I know costs can be worrisome, i did all sorts of things in order to raise the money to pay my midwife, but how you connect with the midwife is seriously the most important thing.

Another mate had a baby, another forceps job, it is just crazy how broken our bodies are when we go to hospital.
