" reducing the
options for women will in fact make them see home birth as a greater
alternative (although we don't think this as a bad thing) but we have said
that with the current crisis with mw insurance that women will try
and birth at home unattended (not likely to happen) but the hospital
wouldn't want to be associated with this situation."
I don't think you are that far out - if put in the possition where I
did not have access to a mw and or birth center - my only option would be
to go through the hospital care and then birth at home unattended.
Would probably say - Oh - didn't make it in time or something like
that. I know other women who would do the same thing too. As
time goes on this is likely to become a more common alternative.
How many of the births at home who claim not to make it to the
hospital are actually "unattended home births." Makes
you wonder doesn't it.

NB: It seems to me to be highly important not to close the
options of women who have had a c/s as they are probably more in need of
support and open options or what will happen is either they will birth at
home / assisted or unassisted or they will stop. I know many women
with one child who are too scared to have a second because they had a
c/s. Obs are putting themselves out of work! The birth rate is
dropping instead of increasing - probably due to fear of the knife and
obstetric intervention.
As far as I can see anyway.
