I was booked in for a home birth but unfortunately the midwife that was sent out to me did not want to go ahead as the notes didn't explicitly say I 'could'. My contractions went from every 3 minutes before the midwife to every 6 minutes while I tried to argue my case for having a home birth. I had a successful home birth with my first child but sadly ended up being transferred to hospital for my second. Whilst I appreciate there are situations where this is necessary I feel I only had to do this as the midwife didn't want to be with me.
