Thanks for those links, I'll have a read.
I am going to have an independant midwife, would love a doula too but money is tight and it is a big stretch even for us to afford a MW, so think we'll just be sticking with that (my DP has a agreed to MW even if we do end up using a birth centre.)
I am trying to educate him about the safety of homebirths but he says I am only looking at all the positive pro-homebirth info and not the other side. I have tried to explain that 'the other side' is just scare tactics but to no avail...
