Unfortunately Stoke Mandeville
is not very pro homebirth so I am struggling to convince Mum's booked there
it is an option for them too.
Tell me about it :-) Most of my NCT clients were booked at Stoke (some at the JR), and those who wanted a home birth did not always find it easy. Having said that, many of the midwives were pro, and Felicity Ashworth always seemed fairly pro too. There was the Clinical Head of Midwifery when I was there who had had home births herself (I think), can't remember her name but now think she is at the JR. Jenny Smart and Emma Harrington are the 2 Aylesbury NCT teachers (you will have met them at Jean Sutton's study day, I suppose), and Jenny took over from me on the MSLC's when I left. If you need there email/ phone no.s I can pass them on.
