Yeah I wouldn't qualify for hospital homebirth program either (not that there is one even anywhere near here) but at the same time would hate to comply with their restrictions.
I love my MW, she is more than just a MW to me! Due to my mental health issues she has been a huge support where mental health services around here have been seriously lacking and appointments I was told I could get months ago never happened. I'm only just keeping it together thanks to my MW that has been happy to see me weekly. If I didn't have her support I would have crashed and burned long ago! We are building a house at the moment and are in massive debt and so DH is working 6-7 long days a week so we can scrape together what is needed for me to have a homebirth. This will be my 3rd homebirth within 3 years (unless I have to transfer but I'd also take my MW so would still have to pay) so has been a huge chunk out of our savings as DH is the sole income earner. He runs his own business so if he doesn't get work or doesn't work we don't get paid, a lot of the time to we are waiting on people to pay which can be a few months overdue at time.
