Thanks Bella. I used to live in Caloundra many moons ago! Small world. When I say my friend is a student midwife, she is, but she is also employed at Caboolture hospital as a nurse - so not sure if that changes stuff? When she had her last boy - (10 pound 11!!), she had a water birth at caboolture, even though they're not supposed to do that - she just didn't get out of the bath and kept on pushing. So I'm pretty sure she would fight for me to have one too.

Having said that - I definitely would want a home birth over that - I'm just minutes from cab hospital anyway. well... 10... LOL

Em - I missed your post before, I was on my phone and for some reason your post didn't come up? But thanks for getting in touch with Tegam for me. xxxx
