It's great to hear from you Stoked!

I am having trouble finding a primary midwife- I haven't even considered the issue of a back-up one!
I called a midwife today - She isn't practising at the moment. She has been unwell.
Another midwife that was recommended to me has recently moved to Sydney.
The midwife that I spoke to today recommended another midwife- she lives about an hour away, so I don't even know if she will travel that far. She also suggested a birthing support group where I could access 'lay' midwives- so I guess she was eluding to the possibility of me freebirthing, maybe?
Oh well, I will persist as best I can.

Bella- I hope you have a great appt. tomorrow. I love your new avi!
Hi to everyone else.
