I have met a midwife here in Ireland (where I am now presenting workshops) who would dearly love a home birth. She says she has a bicornate uterus and a double cervix. She feels this puts her at high risk, although her obstetrician seems to think she could labour OK and get by without a caesarean (is he stringing her along, I wonder?). Have any of you had any expereince with this kind of labour and how would you feel about a home birth? She lives close to the hospital and I did suggest that she could always see how labour progresses and if there is a problem transfer quickly. She has yet to engage a midwife, although there is one here who will do twins at home and has many years of experience, who may be able to help. It seems that after today's workshop she is feeling inspired and would like to reconsider a home birth (having reluctantly given up on the idea). Any thoughts would be very gratefully received - I will email them on to her....
