Hey Cassius I am like you, I joked to my MW that I am a land animal and don't think I want a waterbirth. Have you hired an IM, or are you HBing through the Sunshine Hospital program like me? Initially the program was only open to women within the Sunshine Hossy catchment but most on the program are from your area - Brunswick, Northcote, Thornbury (ie: the hippy areas ). Turns out I am the most "Western Suburbs" mamma in the program (I am in Glenroy).
