I haven't added me to the list yet (January), but might be soon. I have an appt at a Birth Centre next week where i think they will say i am too high risk for the birth centre. I have an IM in mind, but i think i am too scared to call her in case she says she won't travel to me or is unavailable and that would be too much. On the positive side though, i have spoken to a local student midwife who has an awesome history (including 2 homebirths herself) and is interested in catching up even if we don't do a follow -through program.

I don't know if i want the birth centre, or if i just want the choice. One difficulty is that they have so many rules, that you could get to 30+ weeks and then they say they are transferring you to the hospital. They have a 10% pregnancy transfer rate and a 10% labour transfer rate. The high risk thing is bull, i copped that the first time and just ended up with red tape and assault. I don't want to play good-little-girl (GLG) this time.
