cheers for the support. have been talking with hubby, and have decided that we still want to try, so i'm going back to hosp tomorrow to do some nagging. Their excuse was that the midwives won't be allowed/covered or something to care for me if i go in during labour, and that they don't have the facility for an emergency csect if i rupture. { my take on that is that is crap, as they are the major hospital up here (Port hedland) and even take karratha girls (and that towns at least 3-5 times bigger than us!!). } Apparently don't have the blood stores etc (again crap). So we are going to try and encourage her to come by end this week, and labour at home as much as possible (unfortunately no independent midwives up here), and then go in when they can't stop me. Doc just gonna have to deal with it.
