Yeah. I am slightly concerned by the 20% transfer rate. Birth centre's even worse at 50%. The midwife told me she was there recently doing a tour and they had stats up from the previous month - transfer rate of 80%!!!! WTF are they doing there?
Having to go to hospital for some stupid 'rule' is my greatest fear to be honest. There are only 3 IMs in Perth apparently, so I'm not sure how hard it is to book one. Perhaps I should look into it just in case.
I suppose you can just refuse to go to hospital, but of course then they'd have to leave you to freebirth. What craziness.
