When No 1 daughter was pregnant (22 tears ago) she had to fight - with my
formidable support, to have a home birth. The midwife was very opposed,
talking about risk. After she'd attended that birth and daughter was
having a second the same midwife was very supportive of attending home
births.

Well I am quite glad my daughter was born in hospital, she had the cord
wrapped around her neck.
I was a bit disappointed by the fact I had to do the diagnosis from the
traces and get the consultant rather than the highly trained midwife.


Its just as well some of us actually look into the mechanics of these things
even though we shouldn't need to know.
