How exciting. I've been with HBA for years, rang them today re this. They didn't know anything about it but I asked them to get a manager to call me to discuss it. If I can get cover for homebirth from HBA then maybe I can have a homebirth after all. It's probably just wishful thinking

Thanks for your reply Lieve. What state are you in? I'm certainly not keen to let them induce if I get to 38 weeks. They say there is no way of telling the condition of the placenta, and that there's evidence or studies to show significant increase in worse outcomes after 38 weeks or
