Well Ive decided not to go with an IM. I just cannot convince Dh the $$ are worth it.

BUT good news is I rang St George Hospital and enquired about their birth centre/home birth program. The midwife was infinitely more helpful than whatever stupid one I spoke to about 4 days ago who told me I couldn't birth there; theyve booked me a spot at the birth centre 100% definately so I will get an intervention free waterbirth at the very least.................but she said that Im a fabulous candidate for the home birth program except I live a teeny bit far away apparently. So they are going to discuss it at the monthly meeting because they do have a midwife who lives out this way and hopefully theyll ok it. I should have my first appt somewhere between 12-15wks. If they say no to the homebirth I will fight it, not only am I a shining example of low risk and perfect for homebirthing I have a friend who lives 10min further away than I do who had a homebirth with them in June. If they can let her do it they can let me.

So I shall lurk a bit longer until I know for certain whats happening.
