" 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.
