    yep! so far so good! i am due to have bubs at home in september. what might happen is that your registered midwife may be de-registered. but that doesnt take away her degree or experience! and as long as you know she is a registered midwife it should be all good iykwim. my midwife explained this to me last week, and asked me i was still comfortable with the HB even if she was to have her qualification taken away from her. i was and am AOK. i know her and her organisation and trust them.

    as for the PHI i *doubt* it. unless you are running it through a caseload program of a hospital. but i could be way wrong on that one...

    I'm pretty sure there has been an amendment made allowing a 2 year exemption from the requirement of IM's to carry insurance...thus continuing the status quo for homebirthers for the next two years?
